Bell Tower, birds, flowers and Royal Border Bridge in Berwick-upon-Tweed - 15th June 2024

The Bell Tower, part of the old fortifications in Berwick-upon-Tweed, was situated on the route from the railway station to Berwick Holiday Park

In the afternoon I decided to go for a walk along the River Tweed footpath.

First time I had ever seen Bullfinches - there appeared to be a male and a couple of females.  I did not go very near to them in case they flew away!
