That owl footage 😮 excellent video bud. Really enjoyable watch!
Thanks man! :)
Brilliant video Olly, lovely images of the deer. Look forward to your next adventure.👍
Thanks Martin! Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment :)
Brilliant video Olly. The Owl capture was incredible. Shocking statistics with Badger culling. Senseless operation has to stop! Great work👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :) hopefully the next government steps up!
Great video your patience paid off with some brilliant shots.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for leaving a comment! :)
Enjoyed the video olly the photos were amazing such a lovely lot of wildlife captured especially the owls 🦉 😊
Thanks John! I felt so lucky to see what I did and the owls were a real highlight!
Really enjoyed this video Olly, thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks Jonathan, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the comment :)
Wow!!! What a fantastic lot of wildlife experiences you had! Great footage and pics - the owls were the best! Although I do love hares and badgers and foxes too, lol!
I felt so lucky to see so much! The tawny owl in particular was probably the highlight for me!
Fantastic video and photos. Look forward to many more adventures with. Fingers crossed for you to get footage of a Badger soon.
Thank you John! Was a shame not to get the badgers this time but can’t complain considering how much else I saw and hopefully I’ll get them soon!
Such a great video, you really took us along for the journey! No badgers this time, but some amazing photos and videos, especially the Tawnys!
Thanks for watching mate! Appreciate the comment as well!
Great vlog, and you had some decent encounters, and best of all you'll be in a good position when and if you return, to set yourself up and try and find new places for the Badgers, and put yourself in the right spot for some of the other species you saw, it is never a wasted journey working things out. Also, nice and refreshing to see someone not doing a million kit reviews, a few here and there are fine I think but for me it is all about the wildlife, and the process of finding it!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it and you’re totally right, so often I don’t see exactly what I’m looking for but when there’s so much more to see it’s still so enjoyable!
Fab video Olly. Didn’t know Oxfordshire had so many different types of animals. Will be visiting in August so hopefully will try to get out and explore👍👍
Thanks Richard! Glad you enjoyed it and it was great to be able to show so many species!
Great video Olly a loved that owl footage and no wonder you were shaking, beautiful fallow deer portrait, hopefully the next government will gave the badger's a break from the senseless culling and stop ignoring the illegal fox hunting also, keep up tne great work Olly 👍
Thanks Raymond! I’m glad you enjoyed it even though I didn’t find the badgers in the end! As you said, hopefully the next government does a lot more for nature 🤞🏼
@@wildlifewitholly 🙏
great video, so sad for us here in ireland that our wildlife here is so bad. Not many wildlife we have here
Thanks! I used to think England had rubbish wildlife but it just took me a couple of years to find some good spots and learn the fieldcraft to find it, maybe it’s the same in Ireland?
Hi Olly I realised early on that Badgers can see the IR light on the camera and will spook them, they actually moved my camera and laughed as they did it, but they settle down and won’t worry once they realise they’re not a danger. I get them in my garden every night they come in after birdseed and peanuts, where I live on the Hertfordshire Cambridge border we have a large Herd of Fallow deer with White Harts amongst them. Keep up the interesting vlogs.
Hi, that’s really interesting! I did notice the badger in one of the clips did seem to pick up on the trailcam so I wondered if it was putting them off and I’m still not 100% sure the sett wasn’t in use but I’d have thought I would’ve seen more of them if it was, what do you think?
@@wildlifewitholly I think they have one hole which is an escape route only, but you should see their well trodden route through the grass, we have several setts either side of us, one of which has such large holes you would be forgiven if you thought bears lived down there. They’re opportunistic feeders and know where to get protein from, they can smell peanuts from quite a distance just try spreading a few in front of the trail cam and you need them to walk towards the camera so it has time to activate another good reason to spread peanuts. Good luck.
@@dougson56 thanks, unfortunately I’m not around the area anymore but might have to give it one more go later in summer!
So many lovely clips and photos! I watched it with curiosity! New subscriber here! ✨ Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪
Thanks Daniel! Looking forward to checking out your channel later, in particular the adder video as it’s a species I’ve always struggled to find!
I would be a bit nervous photographing a Tawny Owl chick knowing what happened to Eric Hosking, a famous wildlife photographer, loosing an eye to Tawny Owl.
I do agree with you about feeding wildlife under the circumstances you mentioned but oddly not if photographing directly which does seems wrong. Also agree what you say about badgers but wouldn’t rely on any potential government to do the right thing when it comes to wildlife.
Ah wow I hadn’t heard about that! I suppose with any wildlife there’s always a slight risk, I’m sure even a roe deer could do some damage if it decided to!
Yes I wouldn’t want to have put the peanuts out and then photographed them but for the trailcam it felt a bit different - I only did it for one night in the end and didn’t put many out so I’ve got a massive bag leftover 😅
I’m crossing my fingers that the next government will do the right thing but not convinced!
Hi, which trailcamera's are you using? I like to look at your video's looking for wildlife
Thank you! :) I’m using the Ceyomur C60 and I think the other was an Apeman one but I don’t have it with me so can’t quite remember. The Ceyomur C60 is great quality footage but I don’t pick much up on it so I think it is missing a lot of things unfortunately. Most of the footage on this video is from the other one.
