Testing video posts

Ten days to go before we leave, and just wanted to go through the process of posting a video. Here's a 14 second clip taken with my iPhone, in the back garden yesterday evening; if you listen carefully you can hear a few "chips" from the hummingbird, a brief bit of the high speed wing beats, and all of this behind the loud song of our nesting catbird:

This is "HD" quality, but still looks a little grainy IMHO. 4MB file.

Vindolanda is a Roman fort just south of Hadrian's wall. The first fort on the site dates to the late 1st century AD and was followed by a succession of later forts, built one on top of the other, over the next ~300 years. Adding to the site's interest, an active and large civilian settlement or "vicus" adjoined the fort for some of this time. The Vindolanda excavation is therefore revealing key information not only about the military history of Britain under the Romans, but also about the lives of ordinary people.
