Hi Mark, It was a total surprise for me but such a delight to see them airborne and doing what Choughs love doing! And the sound is instantly recognisable. All the best R
Wow Richard what fantastic location to be there just taking in the views and the added bonus is the birds of prey, it’s amazing when you stop for lunch that’s when the action happens, I was sitting in my car having lunch in a lay-by when kestrel drop out of the sky on to it’s prey about six foot from my car absolutely couldn’t believe my eyes, your photos and video footage are truly outstanding thank you for taking the time and sharing your videos. Martyn
Thanks Martyn, it happens to me quite a bit but its fun and nice to know you cannot always predict nature! Great experience to have witnessed, the marvel of Wildlife unfolding in front of your eyes! The video could have been better but you've got to go with what you get! My pleasure, all the best R 👍
Hi Hayden, thanks very much I was very lucky on this occasion, not always the case, lol… really appreciate your kind words, all the best and thanks for watching. Cheers R 👍
Cornish coast and a pastie what more could you want. Oh an yes you got some brilliant wildlife as the icing on the cake. Nice one Richard. Cheers Keith
Lol, cheers Keith a great combo👍. Did I miss your vlog this weekend or did you have a break ? If not I’ll catchup at some point, so bloody busy🙁👍. Cheers mate 👍
@@RichardBirchett we were away in Scotland so didn't get a chance to post this weekend. More of a family holiday but did put a little video together which goes out this weekend. Cheers mate.
Great as always !!!!! Just relaxing to watch ! While your chilling out your end !!But great Richard!! Spot on! Bet you well chuffed seeing those chuffs !! Seriously what a comeback! Glad there breeding well !! Great to witness that & get it on film 🎥!! Thanks as always for a great channel 👍👍
Thanks very much my friend, it was a great day out, birds of prey all around, a sunburnt neck and a flock of Choughs was pretty cool and in great numbers! Certainly felt very relaxed after a fun day on the cliffs, more to come but maybe some better footage next time, lol.. my pleasure, all the best R 👍
Hahaha, always the same. Get a brew on and a bit of stodge and the wildlife comes out to play, it's happened to me a few times now. Great to see so many kestrels, always a favourite of mine to photograph. I've only ever seen a chuff on a wildlife programme, it's good to see that they are doing so well. I'm of out tomorrow, hopefully red squirrels and if I'm very lucky a buzzard. Enjoyable video 🙂👍🦅🦅🦅🦅
Hi Jon, always the way! Still it keeps you on your toes, lol. I wish my Kestrel shots were as good as yours, lol... They are pretty amazing mate. Best of luck with the Reds, where are you headed? Choughs are special birds and especially for us Cornish types as it's our emblem of Cornwall, the numbers are on the up! Awesome success story. All the best R 👍
Cracking video Richard, great footage, the pictures were nice and sharp too. I liked the length of the video too, gives you something to watch. Thanks always for your time and effort.
Thanks very much, overall I was quite happy considering the lightning conditions but I managed a couple decent images so can't complain too much, lol. Cheers for the comment of video length, often a bit of a juggling act to get in right, too short, too long, lol. thanks again R 👍
Love the relaxed nature of this vlog-just feels like we’re joining you on a nice day out-can imagine your workshops are like this, might have to look into joining you on one! Thanks Richard for sharing
@@RichardBirchett Thanks for that Richard , I’m staying at a farm near cape Cornwall although it’s a holiday with my Wife so walking with my camera trying to spot wildlife along the way . Although I shall sneak out a few times we’re I can👍
I've had similar issues with my Go Pro. Sorted now though so I know what a pain it is when you've gone out and put the work in. Good video. I came across your video as planning a coastal Birds of Prey trip next. South Coast. It's true what you say, sometimes it's just good to be out! I've subbed.
Hi David, do you mean viewing your images in RAW or video? If it's RAW it doesn't always recognise the format. Let me know and I'll help further. Cheers R 👍
Great stuff buddy. As you said it's not always about taking pictures, it's fantastic just being there. Choughs are on my 'to do' list, don't get any of them up in Suffolk! 🤣 Btw... How's the purchase of the woodland going? Look forward to your next vlog mate, all the best. Nick
Indeed Nick, if it was all about the picture I'd of given it up years ago, lol... started taken pictures when I was 10 so 35 years later I'm still going!! Great down here, we will have to meet up at some point when you are back in Kernow, will take you to some top spots... It's slow but started work already, won't be long! Thanks again mate, cheers R 👍
Hi Gary, it's always the way! Typical, yes and when the cameras packed you miss the holy grail of shots, happened to me a few times, hence the smaller outfit when I'm walking just in case! Cheers R
Hi Peter, Sometimes I use the camera as bins, i use them quite a bit but not always shown in the videos, I carry them most of the time. Plus I can generally ID birds pretty well but sometimes not so. Cheers R
Nice afternoon at the coast 🙂. Thanks
Thanks Rui, not a bad way to spend the day, thanks for watching. Richard 👍
great day. all the best cheers. 👍😎
Thanks Rob, very enjoyable and the variety of birds were great. Cheers R
Really enjoyed that son and fantastic to see the Choughs in such a good sized flock!!
Thanks very much for watching Dad, it was such a great surprise to see them all together! Some better video next time, lol. Cheers 👍
Great to see a flock of Choughs Richard thanks for sharing ! 👍😍
Hi Mark, It was a total surprise for me but such a delight to see them airborne and doing what Choughs love doing! And the sound is instantly recognisable. All the best R
Wonderful and so calm...
Thanks very much, very kind. Cheers R 👍
Cornish coast at its best…….really enjoyable to watch, loved the drone footage too-can’t believe the detail at distance-lovely xx
Thanks very much, I thought it added a nice touch to the video, plus the location and weather were superb, thanks xx

Looks like you had a cracking day mate. Great to be out in the fresh air watching wildlife. All the best Steve.
Hi Steve, top day out, video wasn’t the best but can’t win them all. Hope your keeping well? Cheers R 👍
I'm a sucker for your coastal videos Richard. Not sure I would be able to tear myself away mate. Lovely video👍

@@laurencearnold5822 awesone, nice spot down at the cape, have a great holiday if you venture further my way give me a shout 👍
@@RichardBirchett Thanks appreciated Richard 👍
I've had similar issues with my Go Pro. Sorted now though so I know what a pain it is when you've gone out and put the work in.
Good video. I came across your video as planning a coastal Birds of Prey trip next. South Coast. It's true what you say, sometimes it's just good to be out! I've subbed.
Hi Paul, glad you've got it sorted! It's a right pain the neck! Best of luck on your coastal trip and thanks for Subscribing, all the best R 👍
Nice video Richard, by the mention of a pastie….. not had one for 7 years (last time I was in Cornwall) , I would murder for one right now 🥺👍
Lol, cheers Ian! These were especially nice pasty’s too, sets you up for the day. Thanks for watching 👍
Superb Rich - did you get a cheeky nap in then as well? 😉
Cheers Rob, felt like it but there was so much going on, lol… plus it was quite the drop off the cliff… all the best R 👍
Great video what settings do you use for your canon I tried to play back on my I pad but get message saying not recognised system?
Hi David, do you mean viewing your images in RAW or video? If it's RAW it doesn't always recognise the format. Let me know and I'll help further. Cheers R 👍

I know what you mean Richard when you decide to eat and something special happens. Or it’s when you’ve just put the camera in your bag.
Hi Gary, it's always the way! Typical, yes and when the cameras packed you miss the holy grail of shots, happened to me a few times, hence the smaller outfit when I'm walking just in case! Cheers R
you don't seem to utilise binoculars to spot difficult to see birds...?
Hi Peter, Sometimes I use the camera as bins, i use them quite a bit but not always shown in the videos, I carry them most of the time. Plus I can generally ID birds pretty well but sometimes not so. Cheers R
