Nice to see photos of our smaller friends, the grid makes a great natural vignette. My rain gauge is showing 50% more rain this year over last and everything’s saturated. No doubt my farming friends will be complaining about drought by July😉 Keep the videos coming I always enjoy what you share with us.

[@JohnFormstone]

Thanks, as always Rik. Its certainly been a wet winter but hopefully we are on the right side of it now and have some nice weather to look forward to. All the best. 👍

John, I thank you very much for these interesting and high-quality content, which you also offer us for free (it's really incomprehensible how many subscribers you have). Your photographic results are really good. And besides everything, you make me not feel so strange myself in the forest always making strange preparations, because when I watch your videos I see that this passion is shared by other people. Greetings from Spain, where I am currently working with badgers and pine martens. Thanks again! LIKE

[@JohnFormstone]

Thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. Good luck with your work with the badgers and Pine Marten. I will keep an eye on your excellent channel, especially the trail camera reviews as all 3 of my trail cameras have recently developed a fault and it seems I may need to replace them. 👍

Great to see you back out John. I was chuckling watching you crossing that stream 🤣🤣, kinda thought it might breach the wellies!! Good to practice the skills on the smaller subjects and some great shots. Amazing how trusting your local birds are, keep up the good work John. All the best, Si 👍🏼

[@JohnFormstone]

Thanks Simon, its not the first or the last time i've had a welly full of water crossing this river 😁 you have to suffer for your art eh 😂. I saw my first Pied flycatcher of the year here yesterday, hanging around a nestbox I put up a couple of years ago, I wouldnt be surprised if you have them in your nestboxes this spring despite the fact they have only just been put up. Regards John. 👍

Great video once again John. Shows that one doesn’t necessarily need to photograph exotic critters to get great images.

[@JohnFormstone]

Thanks Bill, Your right but it would be nice to have a few more exotic species to point my camera at. 😊

[@JohnFormstone]

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. 👍

[@spl1970]

Great video John. Ive got some Camtraption gear but not got round to setting up properly. You've insipred me to give it a go! Judging by your photos and other videos youre not to far from me! Take it easy.

[@JohnFormstone]

Thanks Simon, So nice to hear it has inspired you to give it a go, it can be very addictive once you start getting some decent images. A lot of the videos come from an area near Newtown in mid Wales.

[@jbm19641]
