Andy's Driving videos around Derby, Derbyshire, UK :
Are you an ex-pat of Derby, feeling homesick? Or perhaps you just want a clear way of giving someone directions to a location in Derby or just want to show people your Derby Street. Well in this video and the many others I have made, you will be able to take a virtual drive around the city of Derby's streets as though you were in the driving seat. I use a dash-mounted camera, Traffic lights and heavy traffic have been edited out.
Best watched at 720p/1080p fullscreen (if your system/net connection is up to it).

What on earth is making this noise? Odd sound from something in a tree recorded in Derby, August 2013
These is something in a tree near where I live that makes this very odd sound every night.
Please help identify what is making this odd noise by leaving comments on Youtube.
This is in Derby, Derbyshire, U.K.
It started making the noise a week or so ago and it starts making the noise just as the Sun is going and it keeps making it for a few hours.
It does the noise for 15-50 seconds then stops for a few seconds then starts again.
If you walk up to the base of the tree then it stops making the sound.
Anyone have any idea what it could be?
Its too dark to see and it does not make the noise in daylight.
When I first heard the sound in late August I thought it was a faulty alarm but its definitely in the tree you can see at the start of my video.
What on earth is making this noise.......
Any ideas what it could be?
Please help !
