Beautiful! Yorkshire is such a lovely county. Wonderful photos of the Whooper swans. I was fortunate to see a pair on a remote loch on Skye last year - so ethereal.
Yes I am an American but lived in England for 16 years. My wife is from North Yorkshire (Ampleforth-Helmsley) and we would visit her parents in Kirkbymoorside often while they were alive. We would also walk the moors as well as the dales. Lovely country and Northerners I found the easiest to get along with.
Ah - I used to spend a lot of time walking in the Moors around Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside, but tend to stick to more level ground these days (knee problems). I am glad you enjoyed your years here 😊

Thanks - yes, I absolutely love seeing them. After seeing them in Iceland I think they would look very much at home on Skye :-)
Iceland - amazing! I've never been. I would love to see a post about it, if that's something you'd like to share. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I have a long list of places to write about, and Iceland is definitely one of them!
Thanks for your adventures in wetlands around the reservoir
Great post and wonderful photos. The remind me of a wetland near where I used to live in California about 7 years ago.
Thank you - wetlands are always wonderful places 😊
Very nice. I like the foggy swans photo the best. Unmistakably British landscape, wildlife, hay bales and a church in the back ground.
Thank you. We have been having a surprising number of bright winter days with lovely blue skies lately, but I am sure that will change.
It sounds as though you are familiar with Yorkshire landscapes?

Very interesting Angie accompanied by some lovely images.
Another reserve I have never visited.
Thank you
