Beautiful footage of a beautiful bird, we are so lucky to get a chance of seeing the Peregrine in the U.K. considering they were very nearly wiped out. Well worth a sub!
Completely agree Neil, it's definitely worth taking a moment from time to time to absorb the fact that so many animals like the peregrine in the UK are slowly coming back from the brink. Thanks for watching and for subscribing 😊
Superb filming Matt. Loved it and the music too. 👍. The look on the adult’s face when the juvenile flew off with the catch 😁. Amazing to see them hunting the gulls because where I live they seem to co-exist quite well. Thanks for sharing. 💯👍👍👍💯.
Thank you so much Chris! And that's really interesting to hear they get along well near you. In my experience it's only when they are flying clearly out in the open that birds like the gulls will dive at them. But they will take a meal anywhere they can get it really 😊
Thank you Rob! As you probably know, nature doesn't always do what you want it to, but I do try to plan and spend a lot of time building the story and making it fit with the music so that's greatly appreciated 😊👍. Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it
Incredible! Both parts of this series have left me with an absolute buzz and awe for these birds, can only imagine how much of a rush these experiences must have given you. Great work once again @Matt Gould!
Hiya, thank you! Glad to hear it's on your bucket list too. The good news is that they are doing really well in urban environments so it's more and more likely you will get to tick it off your bucket list soon 😊
Well Done Matt. Thanks for taking us along. The intense look it gave you before dropping off the cliff must have given you goosebumps! Look forward to your next one Cheers.
Absolutely amazing footage and story Matt! Honestly if I tried doing vlogs i would have an unlimited camera drop count going not just two 😂. Loved the music was paced really well with the transitions and so glad you got your dream encounter and arguably more than you dreamed for. Keep up great work mate!
Hi Sam! Ha, yeah there are usually many more moments dropping the camera that aren't recorded for sure 😬😂. Chuffed you enjoyed the music, it's always time consuming (but enjoyable) trying to make the footage fit with the music 😊. Thanks for the kind words and for watching 😊
@@MattGouldphotography Haha, I think if that's the case you should try a short blooper reel at the end 😉. And mate, I'm always one for quality over quantity. I love that you spend the time to get your videos right. Keep up great work Matt 👍
It would be a dream come true to watch something like this! Peregrines are winter migrants here, and we don't get to see them from such a vantage point.
Superb.... you can not beat encountering such a magnificent creature. Loved the way the youngun fled with the grub... thats mine! 😄 Super filming buddy. Thank you. 👍
Wow great footage Matt, my bro in law has a cliff like that behind his house and there is a Eagle Owl, Peregrin and lesser kestrels nesting there. End up with a stiff neck every time I go round there. Thanks for video.
Wow, what an incredible and beautiful looking bird. Loved the video with the fledgling and parent swapping food. No wonder you was mega chuffed. Well done pal. Its a place to remember for next spring and breeding/nesting time, you should get some amazing footage then. (hope your video camera is insured, you'll break it one of these days) haha.
Omg, what a fantastic experience, and superb close up footage to show for it. Felt quite emotional watching the youngster take the bird from the parent - absolutely stunning - and the parent watching as it flew off. Your best video yet, methinks, and I hope your camera survived ok!
Oh wow, best video yet is a great compliment. I'm always trying to improve so I'm super chuffed you think that. Also glad to hear it made an emotional connection with you, thank you for watching 😊
Perfect accompaniment to pt I. I know you must be a fickle master when it comes to shots shown but the hunting parent stuff was visceral enough to be bona fide 'good stock', never going to get more than one opportunity like that on any given 'first' afternoon and then have the heads up to be fully prepared. Would be nice to be under contract via beebs NHU and have a few weeks stab at it! As it is jaw dropping stuff, all of it - hunt included. Loved it Matt, a joy. Si.
Thank you so much for the glowing comment Si! Yeah I definitely want to improve on those action shots but as you say it's really hard to beat that for one afternoons worth in terms of the sightings. Thanks again for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
this is awesome! I've been in Bristol for just over a year now but still not seen any peregrines despite keeping my eye out when on the bridge etc. I guess it takes a lot more than that. Would love to be able to film/photograph them one day
Hi Alex! Yeah there is a path leading from the bridge that goes along the cliffs. Its about 20 minutes, maybe a bit more before you reach that spot, but there is a sign telling you to look out for them. So you were nearly there but not quite unfortunately :D. I hope you get to film them next year :)
@Matt Gould Hi Matt, thanks! Weirdly, I've actually just got back from a walk where I tried to scout it out, and I found it! 😂 Is it not possible to film them any more?
Impressive footage, well chosen and edited music, smooth follow up to part 1 (domestic vs wild). Appreciate your candor about difficulties of the shoot. If wet feathers are a problem, what do the falcons do when it rains? Do they refrain from hunting? (Perhaps order take out 😁.). If they tend to nest each season in the same locale my guess is that you’ll return for another go at filming. BTW, nice haircut😁. Cheers!
Thank you Paul, very kind. And good question about the falcons feathers. I don't know for sure so it would be mainly guess work, but I assume it's a case of them taking a long time to dry out and not being able to fly at all when wet, rather than a case of them getting wet being the kiss of death. Though I linked a gent and his book in the description who is an expert that should be able to answer you question more scientifically 😊. Thank you for watching and for your engaging question!
Great film there. I’ve stood at the exact same spot a couple of times and it is so exciting to watch them perform. Not got my best shots there (The Andover birds are better for stills IMO) but the action at your spot is so great to watch unfold.
Looking forward to this. Wondering though, Is a bird an animal? Funnily enough, it is in German. In English I'd never call a bird an animal, but maybe that's just ignorance (or depends on what version of English one speaks?) [not trying to be stroppy, I think about these things :-) ]
Hiya Tom, glad you are looking forward to the video! And not to worry, it's good to question things 😊. It's all to do with scientific classification, birds belong to the kingdom animalia, the same as mammals, reptiles, fish and insects which also get questioned a lot 😊.
Hi Don, always happy to be proved wrong but having googled it the bot fly apparently reaches around 20 miles per hour, you need to add a zero to reach peregrine speeds. Happy to be proved wrong if you can provide evidence 😊

Matt I really enjoy watching your films. Not only great footage but a nice story to go with it and music that adds to the story. Well done!

Great work once again @Matt Gould!
Aw thank you Phil! So glad to hear that! And it was of course an awesome rush :)
Great footage!!! The flight with the music made me cry. So beautiful
Awesome footage, Matt! Must have been an incredible experience. Thanks so much for sharing!
It really was Lauriel! One I won't be forgetting for sure. Thank you for watching 😊
What a great moment, well captured Matt!
Thank you so much Kris! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Such an amazing video Matt!! The footage you captured was incredible!! Great work and thanks again for sharing!! Cheers
Thank you Lisa! Very kind of you to say 😊. Chuffed you enjoyed it and thank you for watching 😊
Levelled up once again young Matt
Ahhhh too kind fella! Thanks for stopping by 😊👍
Great video Matt! They truly are fantastic birds.
Thank you Joel, completely agree they are so cool!
Nice follow up from part 1 Matt. Some very impressive footage & great edit. Cheers.
Thank you Stewart, glad you enjoyed it as a follow up 😊. Thanks for the kind words 😊
Well done mate! Definitely one of my bucket list raptors also!
Hiya, thank you! Glad to hear it's on your bucket list too. The good news is that they are doing really well in urban environments so it's more and more likely you will get to tick it off your bucket list soon 😊

The whole experience felt like a goosebumps moment for sure Trevor 😁. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice photos...Greetings from Italy
Thank you, much appreciated 😊👍
Another great video Matt! Really enjoyed it.
Thank you Keith, glad you enjoyed it 😊

Ah well I hope you get the chance to see them at some point, though having them as winter migrants is something at least 😁👍. Thank you for watching! 😊
Superb.... you can not beat encountering such a magnificent creature. Loved the way the youngun fled with the grub... thats mine! 😄 Super filming buddy. Thank you. 👍
Thank you so much Steve that's very kind of you to say! And it really was cool to see so I'm glad you enjoyed it too 😊.
Wow great footage Matt, my bro in law has a cliff like that behind his house and there is a Eagle Owl, Peregrin and lesser kestrels nesting there. End up with a stiff neck every time I go round there. Thanks for video.
Dang!!!! What a spot to live near! Very lucky indeed! Thanks for watching and for the kind words 😊👍
Thanks for the video. Impressive footage makes up for the camera drops LOL
Gotta get that footage, even if it means literally dropping everything at short notice 😅. Thanks for watching Lucia!
Cracking footage. Well done!
Thank you Andy, glad you like it 😊
What an experience dude! Well captured
Thanks Jack! Hope you're well fella 😊👍
Fantastic captures, very exciting viewing. Exploded that one off the bucket list!
Hahahha very much so Nick 😂. Thanks for watching 😊
Great footage Matt thanks for sharing
Cheers Gary, really appreciate it, thanks for watching 😊👍

What an amazing footage 😍
I've never even seen a peregrine hunt that way
Glad you enjoyed it Timon! Yeah they are incredible animals :)
Brilliant! Thanks
Thanks Johanna! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😊
Wow! Nice one Matt.
Thank you Jim! 😁👍

People who say flying and diving doesn't count they just want the cheetah to be the fastest animal because it's popular
Ha so true! :D
Great footage. Well done
Thank you Andrew, much appreciated
amazing as always Matt, video's need to be a bit longer though :)
Thank you Leon 😁. Glad to hear you want them longer 😁. Thanks for watching
Awezomw Matt, well done!
Thank you! Chuffed you enjoyed it 😊
Cracking footage Matt! You should be proud of yourself with this one.
Thank you Ben, super nice of you to say. Still lots more to learn and improve on though 😊
Nice video Matt😊
Cheers William 😊👍
Oh wow Matt what stunning footage of those amazing birds. Love the way they take off and land in such a graceful way. Great capture mate. Cheers Keith
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching their grace on the wing as much as I did, thanks for watching 😊

great video
Thank you Sam! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Superb footage there Matt. They are such gorgeous, amazing birds!
Cheers Greg! Glad you liked it 😊
Lovely footage of the fledgling, Matt. 👌🏻
Thank you Michael! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video Matt. How you managed to capture and keep the bird in the middle of the frame using 5D mk IV is somewhat amasing
Nice footage Matt. I hope your camera is ok. Like & Sub 👍
Hi David!
It is indeed, tough things these DSLR's :D. Thanks for watching and for the sub :)
Thanks Matt! Feel free to check my Rainforest macro channel when you have the time 😀

Thank you Phil! It's such a great spot for sure! I only got a day there really, hoping to get some better stuff another year 😊. Thanks for watching 😊

Anima - spirit, soul, life
Which country are you?
Hiya, I'm in the South of England 😊
Excuse me but flies are animals. The bot fly is much faster. Where did you go to school?
Hi Don, always happy to be proved wrong but having googled it the bot fly apparently reaches around 20 miles per hour, you need to add a zero to reach peregrine speeds. Happy to be proved wrong if you can provide evidence 😊
