Lyn puts focus on wildlife

FIRST: A deer and her fawn near Warkworth by Lyn Douglas (221 likes)

With miles of unspoilt coastline, stunning countryside and more castles than you can shake a stick at, there’s no shortage of subject matter for our army of amateur photographers.

So it makes a pleasant change to see wildlife take centre stage in the popularity stakes.

SECOND: Warkworth Castle at sunset by Brian Boyd (202 likes)

Every day at facebook.com/nlandgazette, we share your images of the county under the banner, View of Northumberland.

Then each week in the Gazette, we feature the four which received the most likes the previous week.

Top of the shots last week was a lovely photo of a deer suckling her fawn, taken near Warkworth by Lyn Douglas, who said she felt privileged to catch sight of the scene. It got 221 likes from our Facebook friends.

We were back on familiar territory with the remaining three pictures.
