Video

Thanks Steve, would have been nice for a couple of in flight shots but I'm just happy to have seen it! Yeah those catching dragonfly shots are special if you can get them, lol.. Well done mate! I've had a couple over the years. Cheers Rich 😀

Thanks Dad, I've loved finishing on a high with that last video, like you say a fitting tribute to a year in the big city. And those Hawks were pretty special and one's I won't forget in a hurry. M :-)

@@nickbirchett3508 thanks dad, it was a great day and nice to get out on a new bit of ground. Can’t beat the beautiful English countryside can you! Cheers M 👍

Glad you enjoyed it Rob, bit of an off the cuff video but great just to grab the camera and head out to see what beautiful nature you can find! Yeah the hobby was a real treat, and such a stunning bird, wish I could have nailed some flight shots but there we go, just pleased to have seen it. Thanks buddy, appreciate it💪🏻👍

Thanks very much, it was great to see the Kestrels but the Icing on the cake was certainly the Hobby, such a fantastic bird to see and a total surprise. Fingers crossed you get the chance, once seen unlikely forgotten. All the best Rich 👍

Thanks very much Dad, it really doesn't and the fact they allowed me in to their world was pretty special. M 👍

Thanks Nick, the Pied Fly and the Hobby are such classy birds and very photogenic. The condition of their plumage is amazing, the hobby isn't always easy in flight due to their rapid nature but still a pleasure to see and photograph regardless of the outcome. Yeah, just out with your thoughts and you camera of choice and see what you can get, sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't but as you well know, when it does, it's magical! Cheers mate, I love seeing the red icon on your comment saying you've followed publicly for 4 years or more, thanks a great support. 🙏

@@RichardBirchett I never knew such a thing as a red icon existed on CZcams, but there you go now I know! 🤗 I’ve had distant hobbies hawking at height, but nothing decent as yet. As for Pied Flycatcher I don’t think there’s many/any recorded in Suffolk that I have heard of. Like you said, & we’ve both said before it’s not always about the photographs; it’s so much more than that. Time outdoors is never wasted. All the best mate, Nick

Great, best of luck.👍

@@RichardBirchett cheers bud, definitely a big challenge to do

Glad you enjoyed it Jon, nice to do a couple whilst back in the UK! Loved being back at home and seeing the Peregrines too. Cheers R👍

Thanks very much Mark, it really is if you've the patience and its great to sit and chill and take it all in! If something comes along, massive bonus! Thanks for watching. Rich 👍

Thanks Phil, my pleasure it was lovely to try somewhere quite new! And the Hobby was a big bonus, I was only looking in my Birds of Prey North America if there is a Falcon like the Hobby that takes Dragonflies etc! They also take Martins, Swallows and even Swifts if they can catch them! Think the nearest is a Merlin, and they are fast! Thanks again Rich 👍

Hey Martin, Thanks very much for watching and yes its a big favourite of mine too. The heart never fails to jump when I hear it's pipping call on approach, and then it lands on its favoured perch, then I compose myself and get rid of the shakes with excitement and press the shutter! Those magical colours are fantastic! Yeah, the Belted is a tricky one for sure, still not had my day with then yet but hopefully one day soon. Yes, regurgitated pellet of the fish bone. Thanks again for watching. Rich 👍

Wow, great complement and one of the nicest comments I've had since I've started on CZcams my friend so thanks ever so much! Certainly brings a smile to my face when you enjoy it, means its always worth doing even if you get the negative sides to the CZcams game! Yeah, you really are spoilt for the Hobbies, they are so handsome indeed! Thanks again, you've made my day! Rich 🙏😊👍

Indeed Trev, a right Proper Job! That's the magic of wildlife photography and why I love it so much. R👍

Many thanks Neil, cracking birds and a total surprise for me! Nice way to finish my short trip to the UK. R👍

Thanks Mike, I know they are truly amazing birds in the air and on the ground with that colour and markings make them such a striking bird! Yeah, plus they feed on Swallows, Martins and Swifts and lets face it they are pretty nippy! I did thanks, cheers to watching. Rich 👍

Cheers John, they are certainly special birds for sure. Kessy are so much fun to watch hunting and I'd never tire of seeing them. You can't find me on Insta?? Probably after you got hacked and you sent me a message saying you had, I blocked that account, maybe its that? Is it sorted now? Cheers Rich

@@RichardBirchett Yes that’s me mate i have a new account mate. I was hacked

@@johnflanagan44 Okay, I'll sort it my end and unblock. Cheers R

@@RichardBirchett Thank you 😊

Thanks Stephen👍

Thanks Lee, it was a nice spot for sure and I am convinced an Owls, Little or Barn will be around its just I wasn't lucky this time, but the Hobby was a real treat for me! Really glad you enjoyed it, lots of talking from me but it is a live vlog with lots of head swivelling and excitement but thats the way I roll, lol.. It is the real reason I love doing what I do, just being out in Nature is the true gift! R👍

@@RichardBirchett it certainly is a gift being out and about, cheers Mate 📸

Cheers mate, LOL!!! I always look forward to your comments as they always make me smile or laugh!! I was a bit all over the place but they were keeping me on my toes for sure. Always excited in Nature.. Cheers R👍

Cheers Steve, couldn't agree more, lol.. 😀👍

Thanks Jon, not bad considering the rubbish light and it's just more about telling the story for me on the CZcams videos, but sometimes like the Peregrines in last weeks video it all comes together. My pleasure, have a great week. Rich

Glad you enjoyed it and its always nice to find a new location for some photography and you really never can tell what will turn up! It's a special bird and not resident in the UK on a summer visitor to breed, amazing to watch hunting. Awesome on the MH, sounds like a breeding pair you've found, enjoy them and best of luck with the pictures. Cheers R👍

Top bird mate! Beauty...👍

Glad you enjoyed it Nik:-) 👍

Thanks for watching mate😀

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Rich 😊

Cheers Nik, I wish, lol.. All the best 👍

Many thanks Nik, certainly was a top spot and great to be back home.

Glad you enjoyed it👍

Thanks Raymond, not a bad place to live and I always feel very lucky to have that chance. I was pleased with those images and so good to see the healthy birds finally fledge. R

Thanks for watching Mel, they are such great birds and so amazing on the wing! Glad you've time for the Canadian ones, but I appreciate ones from home are always more to the UK viewers taste. Cheers and have a good week. R👍

Glad you thought so mate, lots of talking buy hey I was just a bit excited! Rich 👍

Thanks Gary, glad you liked it. Yeah, it's picked up loads recently and finally the North American people are slowly but surley finding my videos. R👍

Thanks Mum, it really is a cracker hence my excitement in seeing one as it was ages ago I last saw one. Lots more coming soon all being well, gives you a taste of the area when you come and visit. xx

Welcome back my friend and thanks for checking my video out on the Falcons, truly special birds. It's looking really good thanks, I did a video a few months back on my revisit and it was good to be there. Got a friend looking after the Buzzards for me and the other wildlife, Foxes did well too. 5 Cubs this year. Cheers R

Thanks Craig, always love it when you get treated to a surprise subject! I just love seeing the behaviour in species whether its Mammals or Birds they all need appreciating and study. Rich 👍

Cheers my friend. 🙏

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. More to come from my new home soon. All the best Rich 👍

Many thanks Darren, much appreciated. R👍

Yeah, hes a smart dude that Cooper's puts up with a lot from his Wife, good job I've got a good one, lol... Yeah those food passes were awesome to witness and so close I could hear everything. Thanks x

Yeah, it was a tricky find in that Bulging nest, lol... Glad you enjoyed the fluffy young hawks! So cute. x

Thanks very much, so glad you enjoyed it. I must admit it was indeed good for the soul and much needed recharge of the batteries for me. There is certainly no place like home and it will be there when I return in a year or two but I aim to head back a few times a year all being well. I was pleased with the images and video and without any disturbance which was the main thing for me. Hope you enjoy the next one from the UK coming tomorrow. Thanks Rich 👍

@@RichardBirchett Ooh another UK one - that's great! Look forward to it! 👍👍

@@SkylarkFields thanks 👍

Thanks Stephen, It was a great day and so nice to be back home along my local patch, great for the soul and the wildlife gave me such a treat! Be heading back now and then so will keep some UK videos going. Cheers for watching Rich 👍

Thanks Rob, I was , lol... It was great to be back along the local patch and to have such a great time with the birds was a big bonus! Thanks Rob, trying my luck with the Bald Eagles but it's proving tricky. Cheers R👍

Glad you enjoyed it Martyn, Cheers R👍

Thanks Raymond! Such amazing birds 👍

Thanks very much Rob, totally agree, they are such amazing birds! Going to miss the Cornish Coast but I'll be back soonish! Cheers for tuning in. Rich 👍
