- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2024
- When it comes to Wildlife in springtime, there isnt a place in the world (That I have visited at least) which is home to as many species as the North Norfolk Coast. Join me and JP from @JPLamoureuxsTravelsas we take a Wildlife Walk around Norfolk Wildlife Trusts Cley Marshes reserve and see a lifetime first alongside plenty of other birds and nature.

'Cakeus mmmmtastyus'.. You deserve it. Excellent as ever, a real haul of avian footage here! Nice one Liam. 🌟👍
Haha, thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it!
@@AShotOfWildlife I reckon it's q rare to have a place where you can see garden, river and sea birds also birds of prey and even more urban associated birds all in the same day. I think East Norfolk is definitely the place to be for avian diversity.. It might be interesting to see which Norfolk hide wins the 'Most Bird Species In 2 Hours Challenge'..
Keep up the good work Liam! 🌟👍
You are very listenable. Love pheasants n ducks n geese.
What a super day of spotting Liam. Thank you.
Thank you for coming along with me (virtually). I am glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful way to spend time with a cuppa! ☕️ We go to Brownsea Island when we holiday in Dorset each year and they have a large population of Spoonbills along with Egrets, as well as many of the species in your video. We also get many species where we live in Leigh-on-Sea, including masses of Brent Geese over winter, which we always listen out for. When we can hear their noise from the estuary after they first arrive it always puts a big smile on our faces, and we actually have a couple of small oil paintings by a local artist of a flock of them over the estuary 😎
Cheers, have a great week 👍🍀🍻
Thank you! Brownsea island is on my radar for this year actually, by accident. I was trying to find the island near essex where red squirrels have been reintroduced and accidentally looked up the wrong place. Hopefully I will get to visit this year. Thanks for watching!
@@AShotOfWildlife: You will LOVE it there! My record for Red Squirrels is 12 in one day, but they was in Autumn when it is quieter and they tend to be more active and bold as they are harvesting! Usually if you are patient, you will see two or three, though one on occasion I lucked out totally! 🙄
Good moning, my friend, fantastic and beautiful thank ✌️🆗️🤗👍
Thank you Tom!
@@AShotOfWildlife happy New day 👍🤗
The spoonbills beak was amazing. A wonderful video. Thank you Liam I get so much pleasure and learn so much from you. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much. I am really glad you enjoyed that footage and look forward to sharing more wildlife with you soon.
Superbly relaxing, thanks A.S.O.W, entertaining and informative.
Hi Liam, I absolutely love your videos. Thank you.
Brilliant! I am glad to hear that and have lots more planned for the future. Cheers
Thank you Liam !!!
Thank you for watching!
Another great video liam such lovely creatures
Thank you!
Such abundance and variety. Lovely.
Its a top spot for wildlife all through the year. Cheers!
The wonder of evolution always astounds me. The fact that all this came from nothing is almost incomprehensible (well obviously the Big Bang). British wildlife is amazing!
Any day with a Spoonbill is a good day, especially if theres a Red-breasted Goose too!
Great video
Cheers, it was a brilliant day despite the weather :)
That was a super vlog Liam, thank you 🙏
Thank you!
God Bless You Liam....Love your videos
Thanks so much
Ohh this is my favourite place to go birding. Really enjoyed your video thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it! It, along with most of the norfolk coast is brilliant for birds and other wildlife. Cheers
I so much enjoy your wildlife videos Liam. 🖖
Thank you! I appreciate your support.
I need to visit Norfolk, such a diversity of wildlife and landscape.
Definitely, I'm sure there are places like this around the country but this day was exceptional!
You won't get much time to sit at a computer soon.
Make the most of the silence for the time being.
You may want to take up astronomy as you could be up all night.😂😂😂
Fantastic video as usual.
Spoonbill was great.❤
Haha, just over 9 weeks to go! I will still get time for wildlife, even if that means the baby comes with me.
@@AShotOfWildlife when you leave home with a baby you need a removal van. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, have you seen them baby sling things, that is what I plan on using. Short walks only of course, but shes going to be a nature girl for sure! (well hopefully)
Another fantastic video ! Thanks Liam.
I saw my first Meadow Pipit today, weird coincidence!
Perfect timing then!
Great video Liam, and well spotted the Red Breasted Goose!
Really good hides & pathways there, pity it's too far from here. Thanks for the hard work getting all the footage of birds, including some I've never seen before.
Thank you. The place is fully accessible, except for the shingle area. I hope y=one day you are in the area and can enjoy it yourself.
Another fantastic fabulous video Liam and your knowledge of latin terms really astounds me. I think all good coffee shops should follow your lead.;-)
Haha, its a rare species the delicious cake! Thanks for watching.
Great video Liam and fab filming of those wading birds👌 we don’t always realise how much effort you put into these videos, what with the 6 hour walking & filming plus all the editing later. Well done 👍🙂
Thank you. Most of the effort for these videos is in the editing and researching for the narration etc, but its all worth it if people watch and learn from them when they are done. Cheers for your support!
@@AShotOfWildlife always value your videos Liam for the sense of adventure and learning , as well as a smattering of humour at times 😁 Well Good 😃🙏
Great coverage.
Love Cley Marshes. We always visit there on our annual trip to East Anglia.
Yes, its one of the best places any time of the year... but then again, so is most of the Norfolk coastline. Cheers!
Fantastic photography Liam. What a wonderful day.
The cake and coffee looked good too!
Thank you
Great as usual 😊
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Superb selection of shore birds there! Worth six hours braving the drizzle and rain for all those unfamiliar species. Reminds me of a lucky day one Winter on Rye Estuary, Sussex. Lots of avocets, oystercatchers, exotic ducks/geese and more. A team of foxes was wading through the mud in the hope of ambushing an unwary bird, but every stalking attempt I watched was a failure. The marsh harriers must be fairly common around Norfolk as you've seen them in other places. And the spoonbill is a beast! Cheers.
Great footage! Thanks for sharing.❤ I was lucky I saw a couple of spoonbills there a few years ago. It is very exciting that you've encountered a red-brested goose! 🤩
Thank you! I suspect spoonbills are going to continue to spread so people will be able to see them at more nature reserves and wild places in the future. The red breasted goose was really the icing on the cake! (apart from the actual icing on the cake of course!)
Hi mate, greetings from North Norfolk. I spent most of my childhood living in Cley and it really is a remarkable place for wildlife. Only last week I went to do a spot of Mullet fishing at the sluice along Cley beach road, I didn't see a fish but I don't really mind as a White-tailed Sea Eagle spent about an hour circling above my head, with the added bonus of it being mobbed by a Red Kite!!...........The size difference was incredible!!
Magic!...yep..they are huge Eagles!.....
Hello! How lucky for you, I have been trying to track down a white tailed eagle for quite a while now (even this morning!). I am sure it will happen soon enough and when it does I will share it with everyone here for sure. Cheers!
Excellent, Liam. Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching!
Great video again, nice to see the Marsh Harrier and Spoonbill.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Very beautiful birds ❤❤❤❤ thanks a lot ❤❤❤
I have come across from JP's channel. Guess I am going to be following you around.
Welcome!
A wonderful day out Liam .The spoon bill is a star and how .Terrific filming and detail .Each species likewise .Re the seals ( any idea of why they are dead ) One ok but more than is, no pun intended 'fishy'.. Great work gets a like as always ,.Please can you tell me which camera you use its weight + make of tripod .I have a Nikon which is too heavy for me and needs a really heavy tripod Hence I ask the expert ie which do you use ? Makes all the difference so hope you can find time to give info . Best wishes Helena
Hi Helena. Thanks for watching and enjoying this video. I suspect the seals died of natural causes, one was a pup and one a large bull. There's a very large population nearby.
The camera I use is a nikon p950 and I am not sure with the tripod, it's actually a telescope tripod but I needed something fairly heavy to stop the wind from making all my footage shaky. I hope that helps a little bit.
@@AShotOfWildlife That's the nikon I have .Seen the best tripod and together they are heavy . Minus a car I have great transport system but even so I lack your muscle and strength ...Back to the drawing board and get a tripod but not the Manfrotto tripod was 15 kg Hence start again .Thanks so much for taking time out ,When I did use it it certainly created noise when zooming out which was not good .Anyhow loved your day out .Like being there .Brilliant work .:-)
Hmm, well I do use an external mic, which might reduce the zooming noise slightly. Often I dont use the "native" sound as it would be a lot of camera noises and people moving around in the hides etc.
@@AShotOfWildlife I go very early or in bad weather which Germans don't like yet wildlife is not phased ..Where I am there are no hides..Will scout around and think ah well have your videos to watch and realise who ever has this cam needs muscle ,strength and preferably a car ..Thanks for taking time out Liam .much appreciated .
Superb as always Liam ... when you're stuck doing post production for us, at least know it's all greatly appreciated
Had a lapwing in friend's next door's tree t'other day .... suburban Hove and 500m inland! Hadn't previously seen one this side of the extensive tide pools at Shoreham (R.Adur) or Cuckmere Haven. Never looked at Newhaven (R.Ouse) .... too 'working port' for a sit down, bit probably should!
A Lapwing in a tree? I have never heard of or seen this before but nature does always throw up surprises! Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment.
Looks like a great day out Liam
Brilliant film for a Sunday evening. There were a few birds that I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing myself.
Perfect, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Ah Cley, that's one of my favourite places of all! Must get back there this year!
Compared to my local nature reserve there was an abundance of birdlife there, so much variety. Many of which I haven't seen in the wild. Great video, especially the spoonbill. Ps. I've just suscribed to JPs' channel.
നൈസ് ❤
Thank you!
Excellent video - thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I saw my first meadow pipit a few days ago on holiday in Perthshire. Great video a good day for wildlife.
Cley is magical. Red breasted goose is a fine find . Looking forward to the meadow pipit thiing. Don't know why, but I still find pipits really hard to split with confidence. Despite many years of seeing them.
Thank you! It is tricky with pipits and I cant claim to be an expert on them yet, but im sure I will know a lot more by the time I release the video! Cheers!
I have never ever seen a spoon bill. Thank you so much for such a great video
Thank you! They are getting more common so you might see one soon, hopefully!
@@AShotOfWildlife did you see there's a white magpie in Pembrokeshire? It came up on my news feed.
@@Pixieworksstudio I did indeed, but that's a little bit out of range for me at the moment. If it hangs around for a while I'll try to see it.
Yes, I'm in the west of wales, but i may pop down in the summer@@AShotOfWildlife
@@Pixieworksstudio good luck!
👍
Thank Jill!
I love all of your vids. Thanks. First time spoiler the "c..l" word!
Thank you. I am trying to work out what word that could be...? I even googled it and just cant figure it out lol.
Absolutely fantastic video m8 thank you top notch 👍🏼
Thank you! I am glad you liked it.
Dear Liam ❤❤❤❤❤ hiiiii ❤❤❤❤ thank youuuuuu ❤❤❤❤
Thanks a million ❤❤❤❤❤❤ good 🎉🎉🎉 nice coffee ☕ 👌 and chocolate cake 🎂 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉 enjoy your treats ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Nice one Liam, another fantastic video you guys have had a wonderful day, there are some fantastic birds on show. You've made my day. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Thank you so much! I am glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Excellent Liam, fabulous reserve and a great selection of species. Spoonbills are one of my favourite birds, thanks for making this, an absolute pleasure to watch 👍
Thank you so much, I am gad you enjoyed it and thanks for your support!
i whent for a walk in the new forrest thursday, the highlight was sharing the nuts and seeds on my flapjack with a green finch, a bull finch and of corse a pair of robins
Great video 📹 gave me a appetite for my upcoming trip.
Perfect, will you be visiting cley?
@@AShotOfWildlife Staying in Wells for a weeks birding, and certainly will be going to Cley.
@user-ok8gt4gv7y good luck!
Nice to know the Latin name of the cake 😁.
Absolutely spot on buddy! What a fantastic day ❤looking forward to our next adventure! 😊 happy days 😂 x JP
Cheers JP! I look forward to our next outing!
Words fail me ,my friend . fabulous 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Excellent, Liam. Are you sure the spoonbill was the same one each time?
I can't be 100% but there was only 1 reported on the reserve that day so its quite likely it was the same one each time. Thanks for always watching and commenting!
I got to see my first Marsh harrier recently at WWT Slimbridge.
👏👏👍🥰
Thank you!
Good narration voice and video 👍. Would you please add DANISH SUBTITLES 😆. Kind regards, Lars from Denmark 😀.
Have you ever spotted cranes, we did once.
I have indeed, funnily the last time I saw JP we saw some distant cranes. They are fairly regular at some of the reserves near me luckily.
Love the videos❤,and one question do you think the black panther is in the uk?Good video by the way Liam❤
Thank you! I have tried to avoid answering this question as people with the opposite opinion to me are often quite passionate.... But no, I dont believe there are currently black panthers living wild in the UK. There may have been escapees in the past, but the chance of them surviving, breeding and finding enough prey - whilst never being caught on cctv, never hit by a car, never shot by a farmer and never filmed on anything other than a potato, is just too far fetched for me.
The avocets were going so fast i checked my video wasn't on a higher speed! 😂😂
It amazes me how fast some birds move, their brains must work much quicker than ours.
Dunlin are very cute....they can't be much bigger than a sparrow though; Lapwing aren't exactly massive but seem huge by comparison
They are only a little bit larger than sparrows, about the size of a starling. Cheers
Have you ever visited Isle of Sheppey, there are marsh lands there.
I have, but it was night time and I only visited to look for scorpions (I was successful) I will try to get back there one day though. Cheers
@@AShotOfWildlife yes, the scorpions in the Dock walls, Blue Town.
The marshes are at East Church part of island, which is also the birth place of aviation.
some lovely footage - but those Godwits were Black Tailed, not Bar Tailed.
I always get this wrong. I thought the slightly upturned bill and shorter legs were indicative of bar-tailed. They also looked quite different from the bkack tailed featured earlier.
@@AShotOfWildlife
yeah- Black tailed's do have a very slight upward kink to the bill, and the reason they look different to the ones featured earlier is because they're not as advanced in their moult.
The leg thing is useful when the birds are on land, but one spanner in the mix is the presence of the Icelandic race of Black Tailed Godwits - which make up the vast majority of wintering Black Tails in Britain. They have shorter bills and legs on average, making their silhouette closer to Bar Tails.
The basic thing to look for is streaking when it comes to godwits. Notice how (except for a few new black feathers) these birds have plain grey plumage. Bar Tails always show feathers that have a central dark streak along the vein, making them look superficially like Curlew.
A good place to see Bar Tails is Titchwell beach, further west on that Norfolk coast. They love poking around the exposed ouster beds at low tide, and they mix with Black Tails on the lagoons too - which makes the comparison a lot easier.
@@bengreen171 thank you. I will do a post a bit later to correct my mistake.
@@AShotOfWildlife
no worries.
Have you done a fact file about Reed Buntings. I keep seeing them at Morecombe Bay
I havent done one yet, but they are on my list so keep an eye out for that some time soon.
