Brilliant! I am glad to provide the welcome surprise. I have a couple more videos filmed and am trying to squeeze in the time to edit and narrate them :)
I live in the mountains of the western United States and it is dry and rugged here. So, I truly love watching your videos and all of the lovely places you go to film. It is a blessing being able to see wildlife from other places because of the internet and people like you! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you for watching from so far away. I'm sure they wildlife where you are would be just as interesting to me. I wonder if there are any species you get there which we also have here.
@AShotOfWildlife My daughter works and lives in England at the moment, in Surrey and I've encouraged her to check out your videos and look out for the fauna around her since she goes biking a lot, but she's more into speed than looking for little creatures.😅 I grew up with Beatrix Potter, The wind in the willows and such stories which planted an affection for these small beings that still carries on.☺️
Thank you Paul. Family are great, although as predicted, it does take me a lot longer to edit videos now either after bedtime or in-between the 100 other things I should be doing lol.
Thanks Liam, great video you go places and show us stuff most of us can't see, thanks again and have a wonderful weekend and PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Great, i'm glad to remind you off the place. I usually go once a year at least but theres just so many choices for nature reserves in that area that im spoilt for choice.
@@AShotOfWildlife I lived in Norwich many years, it's good to return for holidays. Last time we had beautiful views of a short eared owl hunting at Blakeney. Titchwell is fabulous but the geese at snettisham are breathtaking. Thank you for your videos, they're brilliant.X
What a fantastic sight the Spoonbills were in flight! Great video Liam. Always so enjoyable to listen you narrating your walk for us. Great detail and great camera work.
@@AShotOfWildlife I have always loved wildlife and it's so nice to see the enthusiasm and hear the joy in your voice when you spot something whilst out and about. I have befriended a Robin in my garden who unfortunately flew into my window and got a bit of concussion - he/she was otherwise unhurt so I picked him/her up and put them on top of a bush walked off but kept an eye on them after a few minutes they got themselves together and waited till I checked them again then flew down beside me put their head to one side as if to say thank you for helping me. Every time now I'm in the garden this little bird runs around me to see if I've got any bits of food for them I know its the same one as it has a mark of its head brings me great joy like your videos thank you❤
I love birding in Norfolk, not just because I was born there. The godwits all looked like black-tailed to me, especially with the give away white wing bar. And, the upper part of the leg on the other two also looked long enough to be the same species. The bar tailed godwit does not have a wing bar, so much easier to identify in flight.
Thank you for the Tip about the white wing bar... hopefully sometime soon I will be able to identify them correctly- I dont think I have ever got it right yet lol. Cheers Tony
@@AShotOfWildlife All part of the enjoyment of watching wildlife, sorting out who's who! I was once leading a group of Wildlife Explorers at Minsmere, a bird flying towards us I pointed out and called 'Mallard!', How it morphed into an Oystercatcher, I have no idea!
@tonycritcher3419 how funny. I'm gradually learning, but there's just so much to learn, especially when I don't just focus on birds- although mammals, fish and herps are all much easier. My next wildlife walk video will be from minsmere, I saw A LOT!
@@AShotOfWildlife I look forward to seeing that, I recently spent a week in Suffolk and made 3 visits to Minsmere, I love it there. I don't just focus on birds either as all the wildlife we have is so interesting, although I'm still not good at dragon and damselflies. The other day I saw a hummingbird hawk moth in my sisters garden, the last one I saw was also in her garden, but two years ago. Keep up the good work!
the godwits are all black-tailed as far as I can see. One of the first two even shows off its black, rather than barred, tail, when it flexes its wings
Cheers Matthew! As I said in the video, I do not have a good track record with them and it seems that I havent managed to resolve that yet! Fingers crossed with all the tips in these comments I will be able to get it correct next time!
Thank you Mandy! I was happy with the march harrier footage. She is indeed growing well, I think soon she will be able to join me on these longer wildlife days- as long as it isnt too cold or wet :)
Excellent as always! What a huge variety to see, and the kingfisher was a lovely surprise! The harrier was the best sighting though! And, by the way, I still can't tell the difference between the godwits, much as I try!
Thank you! The day definitely got off to a great start. Hopefully I'll get the godwit right sometime soon lol. Next video is another wildlife walk which should be out next week. Cheers
Thanks you for watching Rob! I have a couple of other videos already filmed and waiting for me to edit them, I hope you will enjoy them as well and that you keep them demons off your back.
good morning Liam - sorry its been a while since i left you a comment. but its always a good start to the day when one of your videos drops. what an amazing reserve that looks like, you had some awesome sightings there. fantastic info too - as usual. i watched whilst i was having my late morning cuppa - that cake did look very enticing. a brilliant wildlife vlog. wishing you and the family a great week.
Cheers Calvin. I am always happy to see your name pop up in the comments and appreciate your support for the channel. Its a brilliant reserve and I am happy to be able to bring people lie yourself along with me. Family are all good, life is pretty good at the moment too--- but time is a real commodity! All the best.
Thanks very much Liam. Another terrific video. I heard you quite well above the wind, but I understand what you mean about having to edit the sound a little. Hope you and yours are all staying well.
To be honest, I was surprised by how well you could hear on that clip as in real life I could barely hear myself.... I would love to have the right equipment to properly record the sounds as I go, but sometimes when Im in hides for example, people are speaking and closing doors and it would ruin the atmosphere a bit- I think. We are all good, baby is growing fast now and time is a real commodity but its also a really nice time in my life. Cheers
Nice selection of species. Impressed with the group of Cattle Egrets! So far I've only ever seen one distant individual at Rainham Marshes. Keep up the good work mate! 👍🤓👍
Thanks mate, even though I have misidentified 2 of the godwits... AGAIN! I am hoping to come down to Romford before the end of the year, to visit Rainham marshes and also to film in romford itself-I cant believe how the Fallow deer just roam the streets!
@@AShotOfWildlife Near Halifax, West Yorkshire, in the Pennines. The only bird I can think of that we see around here but you won't see in your area are red grouse. Water fowl here are limited to geese and ducks, mostly, though I've seen goosander or merganser and a solitary cormorant on the Calder. We see many more species in the Yorkshire Dales, not far north of here - the rivers are cleaner away from the industrial belt.
I was a Cley this summer in the rain. Plenty of bird activity. Looks like you walked the exact same route as me. I managed to capture some footage of a water rail and see some Bearded Reedlings.
Ohhh how lucky, both of them are pretty elusive species which I have never seen at Cley.... but, spoiler alert, I may or may not catch up with both in the next wildlife walk video which should be out next week. Cheers!
Cheers mate. I suspect they will be in or on their way to africa by now... although a very small number do overwinter in the UK (in recent years at least).
I was just there on Sunday, first time back there this year, and it was very wet and windy! Brilliant day though, and brilliant reserve, highlights were the long-billed dowitcher, velvet scoters, red-throated diver and cattle egrets!
Ah yes, I was hoping for the Dowithcer but I dont think it had returned by the time I went there. The sea was far too rough for me to stop and film during my visit, which is a shame as I could see some very distant birds, I just wouldnt have been able to catch them on camera.
@jonroads8281 my camera is a great accessory but when the winds blowing it just loses all its stability. I won't complain though, as it has managed to film some brilliant scenes for me in the past!
I wouldn't say the coastline there is rich with marine life, I have fished 7 times along that stretch in the past 2 months, including Salthouse and Cley and not even had a bite 😫, I blame the comerants and not that fact that I am just a rubbish angler 😂👍 As always, Liam, a brilliant video, and I hope you and the family are all doing well.
Haha, I am surprised to hear that, some of the catch reports I see from the coast along there are better than stocked freshwater fisheries. Family are all good mate, time is a commodity these days though.
Hi Liam. Great video, but those godwits all look like black-tails. I was once told to look at the gap between the "knee" joint and the body. If there is enough room to write "black", then it's black-tailed, but if there is only enough room to write "bar", then it's bar-tailed.
Cheers! I am collecting all of the tips from this comment section and hopefully next time I will be able to actually identify them correctly! I dont think I have ever got it fully right yet.
Thanks Gerri. I believe the godwits may have all been black tailed afterall... I really tried to get it right this time but the differences that other people describe, or that books use to separate the 2, I dont see them.
Great video- lovely to see. I have really struggled with the godwits, but think they are all blacktails as others have said-the first pair do briefly show the black tails. It's almost impossible for me to get it right in the field.
Thank you. I think you are spot on, I just never manage to get it right. A lot of people have posted useful tips in these comments so hopefully I am now better equipped to separate the 2 species.
Thanks Colin, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. No such thing as a silly question- they are called Cattle Egrets because they often congregate around cattle and feed on the insects that are drawn to them.
Cley Marshes is lovely; indeed the county of Norfolk has to be at least ONE of the best places in UK especially for aquatic and semi aquatic birds; I'm often struck by the way in which birds don't shy away from the wind in open wildlife settings, I mean it stands to reason as there's less danger of bumping into stuff, but they hardly seem bothered by the conditions.. This would've been worth it for any ONE of the species on show here! A brilliant walk! Nice one Liam. 🌟👍
Thank you William. I agree, but suspect that if birds all take shelter every time the weather is bad they wouldnt have much time for feeding or anything else- especially in North norfolk! Its amazing the larger birds like herons and egrets dont get blown about as they weigh so little but have such a large wing surface area, nature is better at flight than people I suppose.
@@AShotOfWildlife Certainly. If you can incline every edge of your flying surfaces instantly, then you can turn the conditions to your advantage; the same conditions which ground our relatively simple aircraft..
Hi, Your Little Ringed Plovers are Common Ringed, ad and juv. Your first two Godwits are Black tails ( see the bright white wing bars on them). Nice video...
Thank you. I think you are right on the godwit, meaning I have a zero percent success on them still! What makes you think the plovers are common rather than little?
Another lovely, lazy, stint of armchair wild life watching here in Derbyshire 😅! I hope you will eventually be able to get hold of more powerful zooming equipment, which would be very much appreciated by someone visually impaired like me. ❤
Thank you. I think I would have to spend a lot of money to get anything better than what I have now, and that would probably be much heavier as well. I need to hope that Nikon make a new super zoom camera that is well priced and then I might be in the market. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Absolutely love your posts. Your efforts are really appreciated!
Thank you so much, thats very kind!
What a welcome morning surprise! A peaceful informative video of beautiful birds.
