I've said it before, you are bringing new life to those species which many of us in Eastern Ontario would find mundane. Your videos are a good reminder to enjoy each and every wildlife viewing opportunity. Another great video Richard.
Thanks very much Peter, I did think to myself that this video isn't really going to appeal to many people especially ones from North America but it's done surprisingly well, lol....I still wanted to give these little beauties the spotlight for a bit, all nature needs appreciating regardless of how common they are. Glad you enjoyed it. Rich 👍
How great to have the in your local park and so loved those beautiful images of them that you captured Richard 😊
Thanks Raymond, great to have them so close and spend some time with the more commoner species. All nature needs to be appreciated. Thanks again for watching, always love hearing from the regular viewers. Cheers Rich
another lovely video Richard and some fabulous single shots and matching video footage brilliant as always Richard
Thanks Michael, sometimes it's nice to focus on the simple subjects and the ones nobody else goes for, I for one loved spending time with them. Thanks for watching R👍
@@RichardBirchett u are so welcome
I agree it is so cute.I really enjoyed watching this,another lovely vlog.😁👏🥰
Yay! Thank you very much Alison, they are cute aren't they, lol.. M x
Great find and footage!
Marmots are soo cute! I’ve yet to see the woodchuck but it seems to look quite similar to the yellow-bellied marmots I’ve seen. Great to see the little critters getting some love! ~Dee
Thanks very much, such an overlooked specie here in Toronto and sad to see people do their best to eradicate them from there homes! Very similar aren't they. Thanks for watching R👍
Great Ground Hog indeed !!!! Ya fascinating creatures. Great captures as always! Take care cheers craig
Thanks Craig, not the normal feathered things but nice to just mooch up the park and check on the Groundhogs... Got a few good ones coming soon if it all works out! Fingers crossed.. Cheers Rich 👍
Brilliant video nice to see different species love to see them 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. R👍
Made me smile a lot something different really enjoyed it thanks son,👍👍
Glad to hear it Dad, nice to do something a bit different. Cheers M x
Great to see all the different species you are seeing, loving all these videos.
Cheers Richard, bit different which isn't always a bad thing, lol.. Cheers R👍
I can sure think of millions of ways to while away the day but not many more fun than lying back in a field photographing groundhogs! LOL What a life, huh? We don't have groundhogs here in Florida but we've plenty of squirrels that tear apart my peanut bird feeders. The groundhogs are much cuter! Really looking forward to seeing all the places you plan to visit. Keep the videos coming, Rich!
Hey June,
I'm with you on that one, it's City life but it's amazing how nature finds a way to coexist with us, not all people enjoy them but they are here and sadly not doing well in Toronto due to habitat loss, that isn't a surprise due to the rapid expansion on this big city! Thanks for following my journey, all the best Rich 😀
Richard that was truly amazing just wonderful to see them eating truly enjoyed it, just goes to show that a common species can be really interesting to see well done Richard for making an interesting video thank you for sharing it with us. Martyn
Glad you enjoyed it Martyn, nice to focus on some of the more forgotten and commoner species, for me I thought they were worth investigating. Cheers R
Excellent Groundhog observation footage. I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing. 1 LIKE for the video. Greetings from Singapore.
Thanks very much Cheiko, my pleasure and thanks for watching, always nice to concentrate on the smaller species. All the best 🙏
That was perfect! It's funny watching them... when they move their legs/arms, you can see the muscle lines below the fur! They're like buff powerlifter squirrels 😂
I gave it a go at filming them too this year! About a minute clip on my RUclips acct in full sun, me laying on my stomach free-handed 📷
I think I just flicked the video mode into automatic settings, animal tracking focus
Thanks Jon,
Lol, thats such a good explanation and I can see what you mean!!
Nice one, I'll head over and check it out, I didn't realise you put content out... be great to see what you get up to. Cheers R
That's wonderful! All of them around my place are a reddish color due to the red clay that we have in north Georgia. They are super skittish most of the time. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jon, and cheers for the info, they had some red colour but mainly brown! Cute little things. R
Yeah, we call them whistle pigs as you listed. Tons of them here in upstate South Carolina. They really are spooky though and faster than people might think. They usually have a half dozen boroughs and lots of tunnels to make fast escapes. Adults are too big for raptors to take but if a hawk shadow passes over one, they are quickly underground. I suppose they learn that when they are young and the lesson never seems to fade.
Thanks very much Phillip, I'm guessing they are pretty common all over North America but they are declining here in Toronto due to all the building, loosing masses of habitat! Really sad to hear about that! Yeah, any bird of prey overhead will certainly scatter them. Thanks for watching. Rich 😀
Kind of funny, I could say that I had never seen someone in full camo in a local park, but actually I have. I almost stepped on a fellow photographer one morning by a local waterway. That stuff really works 🙂. Cheers, Phil
Thanks Phil, yeah that might of been a tad overkill but it's always so comfy and adds that bit of Camo if required! Did get a few funny looks, back home in Cornwall it's never a problem. Lol Cheers R👍
Really enjoyed this. Like you, not having seen these species before in the UK, I'd be trying to take photos too! 👍
Thanks Phil, I'm really pleased I gave these little crackers the stage for 15 minutes! They are worth showcasing. Cheers R👍
Great video Rich. Bit behind but going to catch up on a few. Interesting to see something different and strange how we decide what wildlife are and are not pests. Cheers Keith
Thanks Keith and not a problem, glad you can catchup, which reminds me I am missing your atest so will watch this weekend. I know, it's only a pest when it becomes problematic when all they are trying to do is survive! Bit sad really. Cheers Rich
Another gr8 vid, we go around with our eyes shut most of the time and don’t see the everyday creatures under our noses. I would be interested in the Butterflies if you had time Richard? 👍
Hi Mel, thanks very much indeed and you are so right! I'll do my best to get out with my macro outfit and do some! I enjoy insect photography but always seems to be distracted by birds, lol.. Thanks R
Cheers Rich, good to see the groundhogs. Always fun and interesting to watch and learn from nature and wildlife. Shame some species are viewed as pests, a little more effort on the part of us humans would make a massive difference. All the best. 👍📷😎
Glad you enjoyed it mate, it's certainly and underrated species but I think they are a great subject and quite photogenic! Yeah it is a real shame but that life and sadly not all humans see animals like we do. Well said mate. Cheers R
Top Drawer ...
I wonder if any of the locals phoned the mounties cos they saw you wearing camo gear lol
Aren't they also called Marmots ?? Remind of the classic film " Caddy Shack "
Lol, Cheers Colin.... Can you imagine what my response would be! Probably turn up with an armed response, some people already think my cameras some sort of weapon! 😅.
Yes, family Marmota.. great film and a true classic... R😀
I'd have never thought to do this heh
Lol, thanks mate! I bet you never will..... Cheers for watching my friend. R👍
