Dunnock (Hedge Sparrow) our garden sheltering from the rain. A pair of Dunnocks nest each year in the ivy on the fence in our garden.
Dark Hedges, One of many locations in Northern Ireland used during the filming of the TV show Game Of Thrones.
When I informed myself what I have to see in Northern Irland I have found this hedges. A touristic hot spot for 'Game of thrones' fans, cause a lot of locations has to be found here. I saw only one of hundert films and it was... nothing for me, but this alley is magic.

I sit me in my corner chair
That seems to feel itself from home,
And hear bird music here and there
From hawthorn hedge and orchard come;
The Dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a species of bird in the genus Braunellen, the only genus in the family of the same name, Braunellen (Prunellidae). The Dunnock is a widespread and common breeding and summer bird in Central Europe, but because of its inconspicuous plumage it is usually only noticed for its vocalisations. In some areas of Central Europe it is even an annual bird. Hedge sparrows are particularly common in young spruce stands. In the mountains, they occur as far as the knee timber region.

Die Heckenbraunelle (Prunella modularis) ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung Braunellen, der einzigen Gattung in der gleichnamigen Familie Braunellen (Prunellidae). Die Heckenbraunelle ist in Mitteleuropa ein weit verbreiteter und häufiger Brut- und Sommervogel, der wegen des unauffälligen Gefieders aber meist nur durch seine Lautäußerungen auffällt. In einigen Gebieten Mitteleuropas ist sie sogar ein Jahresvogel. Heckenbraunellen sind besonders in jungen Fichtenbeständen anzutreffen. Im Gebirge kommen sie bis in die Knieholzregion vor.

No trip to Ireland is complete without a stop at the Dark Hedges. In about 1775, James Stuart built a new house, named Gracehill House after his wife Grace Lynd. Over 150 beech trees were planted along the entrance road to the estate, to create an imposing approach. According to legend, the hedges are visited by a ghost called the Grey Lady, who travels the road and flits across it from tree to tree. The Dark Hedges were popularized when the location was used as a filming location for the "King's Road" in the television series “Game of Thrones”. -wikipedia
Hedge posts like this are a common sight in rural Kansas. Hedge rows of Osage Orange trees planted to mark early property lines across the plains still provide fencing in use today.
This beautiful avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century. It was intended as a compelling landscape feature to impress visitors as they approach the entrance to their Georgian mansion Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland. In fact, the iconic trees have been used as a filming location in epic series Game of Thrones, representing the Kingsroad.
The garden maze at Hampton, shot from the Tower that leads to an underground tunnel that opens out on the sunken garden at Hampton, extending behind the waterfall. Taken at the beginning of April, this image still shows fall leaves.
grabbed another walk round the fields with the dogs, and this is one that they couldn't get in on ;-)
Played around loads with — for me — subtle tweaks and ended up, if this is the version I remember, leaving it pretty much untouched, except for calming down the red of the rose-hip.
in overcast light, it was the dark tips of these tiny leaves that first caught me.
