The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.

Summer Road Trip Drive With Music North Up M90 Motorway On History Visit To Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a road trip drive with Scottish music, North up the M90 motorway on history visit to Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. If you are about to drive on the motorway for the first time, you might be feeling a little daunted. But contrary to many people’s beliefs, motorways are actually the safest roads to drive on. It’s the speed you’re travelling at which can make all the difference between safe and unsafe motorway driving. The speed limit for cars on the motorway is 70mph but motorway speed limits can change several times on one stretch of road, particularly in the event of roadworks or an accident. So be observant and look out for signs indicating speed limit changes and warning signs, used in the event of adverse weather, congestion or accidents. You should only overtake if you’re sure it’s safe to do so. It’s crucial to judge the speed of the cars around you carefully and to check that the lane you’ll be moving into is clear in front and behind you. Don’t forget to check your blind spot and to signal in plenty of time. When you leave a motorway, observe the interchange signs and ensure you’re in the correct lane in plenty of time. The countdown markers which appear before a motorway exit tell you how far away the exit is, with each bar representing 100 yards. If you hog lanes or tailgate on the motorway you could be faced with an on the spot fine of £100 and 3 points on your driving licence. On approaching a roundabout take notice and act on all the information available to you, including traffic signs, traffic lights and lane markings which direct you into the correct lane. Decide as early as possible which exit you need to take. Give priority to traffic approaching from your right, unless directed otherwise by signs, road markings or traffic lights. This Scottish road originates in Edinburgh, it then travels west and over the Queensferry Crossing, before turning into the M90 motorway.
