I love watcjing wild life
Whilst cycling along a canal one day I spotted a heron on the opposite side it stood perfectly still disguised in the long grass around it. Some gardens came to the canal on the opposite side in Great Barr Birmingham. One of the owners let their dog out and it promptly ran toward the heron barking fearlessly, the heron took to the air did a swift turn and came flying toward the dog making the most fearsome cry I have ever heard looking rather like a pterodactyl from prehistoric times the dog did a very hasty retreat back into the house. The heron took up its previous stance shook its feathers and resumed its previous pose, looking rather smug I thought.
That was a beautiful film of the kingfisher 😊
Great clips, especially the vole and kingfisher. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow 😍😍😍
Very very nice video 🤙🤙
Beautiful birds ❤️💚🤙
N nice forest 🍀🌸💕
Amazing natural 🤙🌸🍀🌷🌹
Beautiful film and such fantastic observations :) 👍
It looks as a wonderful place for birdwatching.
Best wishes!
Wonderful video and I finally spotted the Kingfisher I was hoping to see....how beautiful ❤
Nice and informative video, with loads of Common snipes, and other birds witch i like is the Bullfinch.Thanks for sharing, greetings Yoël
Lovely start to the weekend watching your latest Liam. We have a Kingfisher which we regularly see at the river in Ross on Wye. IMHO it is the one bird more beautiful in real life than in books.
Wonderful video. Beautiful footage. Enjoyed.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Wonderful nature documentary; i especially enjoyed the kingfisher. Many thanks, greetings Hans.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video :)
Enjoyed watching your lovely video 😍 👍🏻 Great filming of all these beautiful birds.
Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the video 👍 ✌
Cheers.
Awesome video. That heron wow, full of the joys of spring/life. There should be more.places like that. Now I really have to go to the sanctuary down near Bristol. (Forgot the name of it lol)
Great documentary!! As usual!! Top work ! Thumbs up 20! 👍
Thanks Craig! I appreciate your support :)
Very hard to find just one of these birds. Great capture
Great video, I know Graham well, he mentioned a joint video at Lackford Lakes looks like you both had a brilliant day. Nice footage throughout.
Thanks Steve! I just popped over to your channel and have to say, you have a very similar accent to Graham!
When I have more time I will visit again and watch some of your wildlife photography videos fully :)
Cheers
Yeah we're both Essex boys. I Will certainly be taking another look at your channel as well, soon as I have time. All the best Steve.
I have never seen a bull finch nor the birds nest fungus. Great video.
Thank you!
Thank you for the upload.I visited a few days ago and had a great day. And thanks to margaret i found the fallen tree and witnessed the Nuthatch eating the remains of my cereal bar before being scared off by a squirrel. The logs opposite were awash with voles and shrews scurrying about everywhere. I didnt see any Kingfishers during my stay, but was very happy with the vast array of birds and other wildlife i ecountered including muntjac deer, kestrels, Frogs. A thoroughly enjoyable day.
beautifulll!!! great filming!
Thank you :)
thank-you 👍
Great footage of the kingfishers, I have never managed such clear footage as your at the end..
Thanks Steven. Why did you stop making videos?
@@AShotOfWildlife I got a new job that has left me very little time unfortunately...:( maybe start again soon..
Interesting fungus! I've never come across this before!
I don't think we have the marsh or willow tit over here in and around Belfast. Sadly the Nuthatch is absent too. Strange that. Stacks of egrets over here too.
Great enthusiasm from both of you makes your video a treat to watch. Keep 'er lit guys!
Pretty video!!!;-)
Thank you!
Those little egrets where amazing and the nest fungus was strange I had never heard of that before thanks
Yes, until this year I hadnt heard of them before and then I saw a few pictures and within a few weeks had seen them for myself. They are very small, maybe 10-15mm diameter and how they function is amazing!
Cheers!
Fantastic kingfisher footage, never seen those bird nest fungus before!
Thanks! I had seen photos of them before but didnt think I would be lucky enough to see some in real life. They are very small, maybe 10-15mm diameter.
Very interesting movie. What a fantastic area. You also got to film my favorite, the Common kingfisher. Lovely footage.
Wish you a great new week.
Best regards, Knut.
Wow, interesting video! Thanks for it. Greetings, Rolf
nice video :)
Thank you :)
Matey you got some amazing footage, looks like you had a really good day!
I did indeed, I can show you them sometime if you would like? :)
@@AShotOfWildlife sounds great ^^
Another great video with some amazing footage. I loved the little vole!
Thank Greg, we should get planning our next collab video?!
Brilliant footage, glad you got to see Kingfisher!
Thank you! we were very lucky that it came back the second time and stayed a bit longer.
Brilliant video, thank you for this. Makes me want to get out to a nature reserve
Great! That is exactly the idea of these videos, I hope you see lots of wildlife!
As always a fantastic vid that I have greatly enjoyed. I would add that the beautiful Kingfisher also feeds and dives from the hovering position? It does seem to achieve more success diving from a perch though. Thank you.
Thanks! I have recently released a fact file about Kingfishers and you are correct, they are far more successful at fishing when doing so from a perch but can and do sometimes hover beforehand. Cheers.
Great video, your skills and style are improving with each one! Great kingfisher and egret footage as well as the Marsh Tit. Not come across bird's nest fungi before. The fungi kingdom feels overwhelming with the variety of species. 👍🍄
Thanks! I completely agree, there are so many species. There are lots of types of birds nest fungi even so I wouldnt want to try to go to species level. It hard enough just getting their groupings correct. When I have more time in the future I will endeavour to learn more about fungi.
@@AShotOfWildlife When I tried identifying fungi after coming back from the New Forest and reviewing my footage, I tried looking them up and each website has a selection but some more so than others and there is this particularly wierd one called Devil's Finger(s) which looks like red tentacles of an octopus or something. Fungi are protected in the New Forest and it's worth a visit for the fungi as well as the animals. I feel the same way wanting to learn more.
Hello Liam, have been watching some of your videos in the last weeks and thoroughly enjoying them. Do I remember you saying on one video that you lived in Norwich? I lived there for around thirty years, both my children were born there. I recently sent my son the link to your video of Minsmere - he visited there on a school trip many years ago (he’s fifty five now & lives in Texas with his family) - he said it was a great video and it brought back many good memories - he used to be a keen bird watcher in his teens. I haven’t been to Norwich for many years now as I’m disabled & housebound but we used to visit Pulls Ferry to see the swans (are they still there?) also have coffee & cake in the little cafe.
It’s been reported that there’s a large terrapin in Wensum Park, have you seen it? I could tell you a story about that!
Thank you so much for your lovely videos!
Hello Jane. I'm glad you have been enjoying my videos.
Yes, I live in norwich and the swans are still at pulls ferry, although the female from the resident pair died last year but has been replaced this year by a 31 year old ringed bird.
I have seen 2 terrapins at wensum Park but both times in the actual river rather than the pond, its less than 5 minutes from where I live. I'd be interested in your story.
Thanks for sharing my minsmere video with your son, funnily enough I have been at minsmere today filming another video which will be out in a few weeks. Thanks again, I hope you continue to enjoy my videos.
Thank you for your response Liam. Sorry to hear that one of the swans had died - I don’t even know the average life span of swans, is it true that if one of a pair dies the other one grieves so much that they eventually die also? Sorry if you have mentioned that in another of your videos but haven’t watched them all - yet!
I’m really surprised you have seen TWO terrapins in Wensum park, thought I was the only person stupid enough not to know they shouldn’t be released into the wild ( it was many many years ago, I was very ignorant in those days) Bought one for the children from a pet shop along with food & a large bowl for him/her to live in which we kept on the dining table. He/she grew very quickly and kept climbing out of the bowl to pinch food from our plates (was especially fond of chicken.) This became a bit inconvenient to say the least so we thought a nice home in Wensum park was in order, never realising it was wrong. So off we went with a good supply of food, and that was that! So whether one of those you have seen was ours would be guessing but it is possible I suppose.
Will look forward very much to seeing your new video of Minsmere as well as trying to catch up with as many of your others as I can. It’s really lovely that I can now see things I’ve never seen because you and others like yourself are so dedicated in your filming and presentation of these videos. Thank you so much
PS. So nice it’s from a Norfolk lad too, our whole family were born and bred there
What a thoroughly enjoyable video .I recently moved to a wetlands location here in Australia and spend a lot of time watching the numerous species of birds around here.Nearly all photographs
but you might just be planting a seed for me to expand upon!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video. If you can already take photographs then you should definitely have a go at video. I am actually a terrible photographer but find with video, you get more opportunities to get "lucky" and get it right :)
Nice collab. there Liam, with Graham! Great video footage and presentation. Very down to earth and professional. You both have excellent knowledge. Top class stuff once again.
I've seen kingfisher many, many times over the years but trying to get any footage is extremely difficult.
Hi Tom! Thank you very much. This one took a long time to put together, a lot of editing etc but I think it was worthwhile in the end.
I have also seen kingfishers lots of times but getting them to still be infront of you by the time the camera has turned on usually lets me down, I have lots of photos and videos of blurry blue flashes!
lol ! You would need the patience of a Saint Liam!
This is a great collaborative effort! Kingfishers certainly are a bit too nifty for easy observation.. Grated cheese is irresistible to most small wild birds, as is suet.. My mum would put a feeding net full of the stuff on the washing line.. We had blue tits, great tits and all manner of small birds I simply don't have the knowledge to identify.. But thanks to your channel maybe one day I'll get there! Nice one Liam and friends. 🌟🌟🌟👍
Thank you William. I have lots more bird videos lined up so stay tuned for those. I wont lie, there are still some small birds, the summer migrants that I struggle to identify... some of them are almost inseparable! Thanks for leaving a comment, have a good day!
Common bird the little egret in Australia
Thanks for sharing one more great Shot of Wildlife! Lackford lakes wildlife reserve looks interesting with a lot of wildlife to see and capture. Good job!
Check out my two latest films published during the last week. "Graveyard crows" czcams.com/video/gTUHUovX7IU/video.html and "Mallards with a stream of their own" czcams.com/video/_Xyhe_EjT6E/video.html
Thanks for sharing again and have a continued nice weekend! // Bertil.
Do you do all the filming on your uploads? I'watched your upload on ospreys last night and the camera work was excellent. I used to work in TV (BBC , ITV and Canal Plus) and frankly I've seen far worse professionally. I suspect you have hidden talents
Lovely and informative but I don't need the music !!!
