What a brilliant place Strumpshaw is to have so close at hand, especially when you're a wildlife photographer! That's an amazing haul for the last two hours of daylight. Nice one Liam! ⭐👍
Love your calm peaceful walks thanks 🙏🏾
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Liam, another great video. Many thanks 🙂
The great white white egret was cool, never seen one, only the little white egret. Thanks Liam 👍
Love the natural way you introduce things and describe them.
You’ve come a long way from your beginnings Liam.
Best of luck to you buddy.
Thank you Liam for another wonderful video What a wonderful place to visit and a rewarding evening walk. You are right your videos do encourage us to seek out wildlife. Thank you ❤
What a marvellous location. Looks positively mysterious at dusk. Maybe a possible night vigil video in the works? Just a thought. Thanks very much. Great video.
Nice Wildlife walk at RSPB Strumphaw Fen! Thanks for sharing Liam and have a nice weekend! // Bertil.
Hi Liam brilliant video again loved all the footage that you shared with us love all your videos and the wildlife you sowed keep up with the fantastic work and videos Bernard
Beautiful shots, inspirational video, thanks.
Always a pleasure, Liam. Cheers
A terrific time and well worth it Liam .Your very quiet manner is always a reminder for all .Glad you did so well .Like and greetings for a very happy weekend .A day plus time. out with wild life beats a lotto win .
exellent video looks a great place to visit very peacefull lots of wildlife thanks for sharing
I absolutely adore egrets. So lovely. When I used to live in Cork I would often see them around the Lee. My favourite encounter was watching one stirring up the river bed to find its prey
Great video and much enjoyed . I feed loads of pheasants in my garden to protect them from the local shoot.... My food is far higher quality :D
Hello Liam. I appreciate it when you fail to see animals you were hoping to see as that's a common experience for us nature lovers. It would've been nice to see basking common lizards or a barn owl but if they're not there, they're not there for filming. By co-incidence I was hoping to see a lizard at the heath near Cobham earlier today. Perfect conditions for reptiles: sunny, warm and nobody else around to disturb wildlife. Despite turning over logs and delving in foliage I found only a juvenile slow worm after nearly an hour. On leaving, I did see a lizard - pancaked on the road.
Great video, especially the big egrets. I've only ever seen a little egret. I shall watch this video again in Winter to remind me of the tranquility of walking on a warm Summer evening.
Thanks Gillian. Im glad you liked the video and I hope it serves its purpose in the winter also.
Thankyou liam great video
Enjoy the enthusiasm you show
Thankyou
Another wonderful video Liam, thank you.
Really appreciate your videos. Am an ornithologist in northern Sweden, very interesting to see the birds that nest in my home areas in your films. Excited to see upcoming movies, Keep up the good work!
Another great video Liam, and so lucky to have this reserve in your area. A real bonus getting the egrets and Chinese water deer on film, along with the bats! You'd be pleased to capture so much wildlife so late in the day. Nice one Liam! 👍
beautiful production;thanks
👏👍👌🥰🤘
Bit 'batty' this week. 😄👍
Very interesting video - just goes to show what is lurking there! Great to see the harrier and one of my favourite duck breeds, the shoveler.
Thank you really enjoyed that. Saw the flash of a kingfisher on our dog walk today, always stunning to see.
Thank you for another great video Liam. I love these evening walks as they give you a great feeling of adventure. The evening sunlight is beautiful. I’m definitely going to put Strumpshaw Fen on my list of places to visit when next in Norfolk. All the best. ☺️👍
Great video Liam and with so much useful information. Great.
brilliant. I Enjoy these videos, thanks for making them.
what a wonderful stroll, just goes to show you don't need a whole day.
awesome video. location has been put on my bucket list to try to visit one day.
Liam, I very much enjoy your videos, great stuff.
What a beautiful evening, loved the video Liam. Looks like you had the place all to yourself.
Interesting video thanks for sharing it with all of us.
Lovely watch as always
You do such a great job filming. I really like your different views and shots.
Isn’t the presence of dragonflies a sign of clean water, or a good environment, or something like that? I understand it’s a good sign anyway.
I would of really preferred that the music wasn’t so loud, or even there, because then I might be able to hear the birds in the background. Personally, I wish you hadn’t used any music in the background. I don’t think it’s needed.
That is very interesting, I didn’t know that Mallards molted their feathers.
Maybe you need to include a torch (as you call it, or a flashlight as we call it here in the states) in your gear, lol.
I was wondering if you’d see any bats being the time of day you were filming.
That Monocular was really cool! Wow! Your channel is growing and you’re doing such a great job helping others to see even in our everyday environment that we can see a great deal of nature. That is wonderful! Just please no more music, for me it was distracting. I like being about to listen for the natural sounds that are around you while you’re filming.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Donna. Yes, dragonfly larvae rely on lots of aquatic invertebrates which means they need fairly clean water.
With regards to the music, it's complicated. I did actually make a first edit of this with no music, which is fine for the bits filmed with the gopro (walking, landscapes, talking to the canera) but my actual camera I use for filming makes noise when it focuses or zooms etc, so you can't hear the natural sounds. I'm also often in hides with other people so you can sometimes hear them talking or shiffling their things. I do have a plan to trial a video with no music, but need to invest in a new audio recorder to do so.
Thanks as always :)
@@AShotOfWildlife thanks so much for the explanation about the sounds. That does make sense. I hope your plans work out. Take care.
Another excellent video 😊
Enjoyed this video Liam.
Another great video
Just found your channel gr8 filming 😊
Thank you, welcome to the channel. I hope you have found lots of videos that you enjoy here.
Another great video Liam! You're doing things that many other videographers of wildlife don't - venturing out at twilight. Looking forward to your next one.
Nice and "real" Liam. Well done mate. Keep up the good work! 🙂👍
Thank you Liam for showing me the strumpshaw fen. My great great grandfather was born in the nearby Great Yarmouth and left for New Zealand in 1865. Your videos allow a fifth generation kiwi to connect with the animals and environment of the land of my ancestors.
Well I'm.glad to help. My dad is from great yarmouth and is where a lot of my family still live now, including where I grew up myself. Cheers
i love your videos friend
Once again a very entertaining video. Although I couldn’t match the variety of wildlifeyou were able to capture, I am blessed with some beautiful wetlands opposite my house. ‘Tis the season for snakes which I try to avoid but we do have a plethora of bird life. I recently counted 20 species of birds in a 20 minute stroll and never tire of looking for yet more.
Awesome video Liam, thank you. Outside a nature reserve it's getting harder & harder to see much wildlife in the country, especially in Gloucestershire. I live in a conservation town where they cut down so many trees & you don't even hear any bird song!😢
Thank sounds like a contradiction, conservation town that cuts down trees?
@@patricianunes3521 exactly. It's just a title to our local authorities! I've been fighting to keep my trees in my garden for many years! They make me sick!!! 🤬
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
You are a great inspiration for people to learn something more about the wildlife they may see but never appreciate if it wasn’t for the few people like yourself who are willing to share and help educate the general population. Keep up the good work Liam👍
@@ih.5863 cheers. Thats exactly why I made this channel and make these videos. Hopefully its working 🤞
Great video ❤
Beutifu vid mate, thanks a lot
That's a pretty good selection of wildlife to see on a simple walk. 😊
My wife & I have seen small flocks (6-12 birds) of shoveller ducks on the Ure (or Yor, to give it it's proper name) near both Askrigg & Aysgarth in Wensleydale, and on the Swale near Grinton. Both times they were swimming in a ragged line and clearly feeding as they were moving their bills from side to side in the water as they swam upstream. I would assume this is their normal feeding method on what is quite fast moving water ?
Nice Video, I do love Strumpshaw, sadly Ive not been there for years. Somewhat jealous of you being local to it! Funny Ive only seen Chinese Water Deer there once despite having been there a few times!
Im puzzled how they boaters were water skiing while sticking to the 6mph limit though..... ;)
Well, I have seen signs on the river to say that water skiing is allowed so maybe that stretch has a higher limit? I love strumpshaw too, lucky to have it just a few miles away. Cheers
I have been there before, its a great place. Lovely footage of the Marsh harrier. You got closer than i did! Have a great day, James
I am not a purposeful 'trending' or 'hot right now' knitter. I did make 2 Tenga's and a Guthrey by Caitlin Hunter. However, I do like classic knits and I am swayed by the seasons. I have made 2 versions of Alice by Hiroko Fukatsu, those 2, one in Isagar Bomulin, the other in Trio, have been the two tops I have lived in this summer. I already made a knitted dress/tonic for winter. I think it was the Vanilla is the New Black, not sure of the designer. I winged it on the lower part as I like to have an A-line shape over my tummy! I have knitted it in various shades of blue and I think that was also from Isagar yarn, so not an inexpensive project. I also made the grandchildren a Christmas stocking each. I behan in Advent, as Kay from the bakery Bears Podcast, here on RUclips, created a pattern for us to knit along with. I then went on and made 4 in total for all the children. So I suppose my knitting us a bit mixed. I tend to search for patterns I like lately, the most recent being the Solar Tee by Laura Nelk7n which is almost finished except for the lace panels on the shoulders and sides and the Walilabou by Kalmknit, a free pattern on Ravelry. I am also making The My Favourite blanket, by Kay. We are dying our yarns and then incorporating them 8nto the blanket. Kay does a demo every month. So, many people are making this, but I am making it for the experience as much as having the finished, squishy thing! I love seeing what you are making and although the Sorrel is not for me, I LOVE yours and the way pink really suits you!
I think this comment may have gone onto the wrong video.
Thank you Liam for a great late afternoon adventure video… love these. Definitely going to put Strumpshaw Fen on my list of places to visit when in Norfolk next. All the best. ☺️👍
Thank you for another video, Liam. I'm curious: how's the mosquito situation this year at the places where you visit and roam? In Croatia's capital, where I live, this year we have thousands. I don't know why is it like that this year, but I don't dare venture into the forest. During any time of day, literally, I'm being "eaten alive". It's really overwhelming.
Maybe to do with this year's heatwave? I remember getting eaten alive in summer when I lived near Romney Marsh in Kent. Lots of pools/ditches for the pests to breed in. I needed to buy mesh to cover the windows and stop them attacking me while asleep. Where I live now there's more risk of wasp attacks as I was stung twice last week by the angry insects! You might need insect repellent near those forests.
@@PalaeoClive237I don't think it's the heatwave alone, but your message triggered a "lightbulb moment".. We had a huge flood a month or two ago, one of the biggest in the last decade or two, if I'm not mistaken. The slowly receding water might have created or left enough pools for the mosquitoes to spawn. And the river is around a kilometer away from where I live. This would be my guess (plus the heatwave you've mentioned) ... Idk, but I'm grateful for the inspiration 🙂👍
@@kubotwostringz7040 Interesting!
Catching up .you should do a night time video an see what you can find . Great video as always
Another great video! May I ask what kind of camera do you use please?
Thanks. My main camera is a Canon p950
Cheers for that! My other half wants to get into wildlife photography so I think you've just told me what to buy her for Christmas!@@AShotOfWildlife
dude today i saw some wildlife in my city A FAT ASS RAT HE WAS HUGE and cute
Lots of dirty rats around here, especially by the Thames where I saw a 'family' group of an adult and three young running along a derelict boats mooring rope last week. There were rats breeding in a waste-filled skip over the road from me this spring. When the lorry came to collect it about a dozen shot in all directions from it, terrifying a cat which leapt up on a wall to avoid facing a 'fat ass rat'!
☺️
A suggestion for one day. Maybe head up to the highlands in Scotland! Or just Scotland in general haha you would be able to see the pine marten, so many massive red deer,eagles and wild boar! Scotland is a wildlife paradise
