  • Join me for a wildlife walk at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen in Norfolk, which almost ended in disaster. From now on, I will make sure I have something waterproof with me to put my camera in if it rains.

    10 out of 10 for getting the stoat on video - they're so fast and don't break cover often so even spotting one is lucky. 😄
    Incidentally, I'm told by farming people that moles only come to the surface a couple of times per day, and only at certain times, so it might be worth noting what time it was when you saw the one in the video if you want to spot them in future.

    This HAD to be rewatched. Sir David Attenborough MUST see this. I just KNOW that he will love it. I was enchanted by the Chinese water deer, and the story with the robin, mole and worms was fabulously real. I have seen a stoat, once I woke up under trees and saw him/her eating my salted peanuts. I saw another, zipping by, not unlike your one here, but the peanut eating one was by turns motionless (why we don't see them) and tumbling and chewing in appearance of delight.. Nice one Liam! A film to keep. 🌟🎥🌟👍👍

Great selection of birds and wildlife and the commentary was excellent, and with just the right amount of humour, and interesting facts.

      Once you've seen corvids nesting it's impossible to deny thier superior intelligence. Crows are brilliant at teamwork and can do things like removing an entire slice of pizza from a bin without losing the olives. Once bits drop off and they're tempted to eat the thing they become a tad less civilized, but they are amazing.. 👍

      Those long-tailed tit nests are wonders of bird engineering. Light, almost spherical, snug inside and with a small aperture. My nephew played football with one and it was durable enough to retain its shape with only a little fraying.

A few years ago I was walking by a stream in Milton Keynes, I saw a mouse run across the path it was then chased and caught by what I think was a Weasel! But, once the Weasel got the mouse a crow came down from the tree and took both of them off! An amazing display of the food chain in action lol. Good luck with the channel 👍

    I've read and heard that Greylag Geese pair for life. But just before the first lockdown in 2020, I had been filming a Greylag pair nesting for a couple of weeks and I noticed the male was still mating with other Geese on the lake while the female was on the nest nearby. Is this normal or are Greylags prone to mating with just their partner?
