so at my second home in the Royd im sat in the garden with colette and jessie enjoying a beer with loads of house martins and a few swifts over the garden great sound then around 2038 a large bird appears high over the garden a gull a buzzard no a osprey heading sw fantastic bird and a garden tick stunned we enjoyed our evening but colette had northern lights on her mind now colette has always wanted to see them and despite trying a number of times failed. so she goes to bed around 2245 i stayed up but headed to bed around 10 minutes later. at 2320 my phone buzzed with a message from the swillington bird group saying "northern lights over the reserve now" off outside in dressing gown took some crap photos but was sure i saw some green/purple so i woke her at 2330 with the words "there here"within seconds she was up.......and what a display the colours changed from blue to purple to green it danced in the sky stunning just stunning
at 1 am we headed to bed after what was just stunning
