  • We had a fantastic day at Elmley Nature Reserve. It was very windy so we think that kept some of the owl species away but we had some amazing views of the beautiful Marsh Harriers and Kestrels. We can't wait to go back again and see more wildlife there through the seasons!

    Very cool, the Marsh Harrier footage was fantastic, as was the Kestrel. Shame about the Little Owl but the year is young and I am sure you will tick it off your list in the near future. Great video as always.

    Great step up in storytelling and ‘scientific ’ approach. The use of the Latin nomenclature is so useful for non English speakers : no risk for translation errors. Love it!!!

    Hello from the USA! I love all the details you’re sharing about the vegetation and the wildlife! Thanks for taking us along. I love going out to “see what there is to see.” What have I seen lately? I had to pause this video to run out and take a few photos of a Cooper’s hawk in my yard! Cheers!

    • @AWilderLife
      @AWilderLife  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much Kelly! Wow a Cooper's hawk is quite the visitor, that's awesome! We're hoping one day to visit the USA and see some of the amazing wildlife there!

    Really lovely to see some of the European versions of the species we have here. I just recently saw an American Kestrel, American Coot, and American Robin.
    Great video!

    Hello from Scotland!@ I've never heard of Elmley nature reserve it looks great. I was last in that area crossing the dartford tunnel heading down to dover to cross over into france. Would never have imagined so much wildlife was just on its doorstep. Really interesting to learn more about the Marsh Harriers and flora of the area. I've always been confused about the difference between hawthorn and blackthorn. If you're ever in Scotland you should visit the River Tay reed beds

    • @AWilderLife
      @AWilderLife  Před 5 měsíci

      Elmley is definitely worth the visit if you're ever back in that area, Rose! We are actually hoping to head up to Scotland later this year so we will definitely try to check out River Tay, thank you for the recommendation!
