THERE has been widespread praise for the 'nature in winter' video posted online by the Princess of Wales to coincide with her 44th birthday.

Most of the scenes depict open countryside, with rivers and water particularly prominent.

But among the birds included are Black-headed Gulls and murmurations of Starlings.

In her reflective voiceover, the ever-popular Princess says: "Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience and quiet consideration."

Her Royal Highness obviously has the right clothing, with a particularly fetching bakerboy tweed hat.

Now all she needs is to invest in a pair of binoculars so she can put a name to the birds that she sees on her rambles.
