Great work Olly! Like you said, it’s the best time of the day first couple of hours from dawn. This time of year is my favourite time of year for seeing barn owls out hunting in the mornings too, currently gathering footage myself from my local area (Suffolk) for my upcoming vlog.
Shane you didn’t get to see the brown hares, but it will keep you motivated to keep going back out.
Keep on keeping on!
Best,
Nick
Hey Nick, sorry I missed this comment! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for leaving a comment as well, will definitely look for brown hares again soon!
Great video Olly. Some lovely deer shots & the barn owl was awesome. I think Lynx reintroduction is a possibility. Not so with Wolves I doubt as much as I’d love to see it. Atb👍
Thanks! Agree wolves is unlikely and wouldn’t be fair on them or farmers to bring them back at the moment, a lot of change would be needed first but don’t think we’re far off being ready for lynx! 🤞🏼 thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video :)
Fantastic video mate - especially loved the Muntjac and Barn Owls - the photo at 17:58 is particularly special! 100% agree with lynx being reintroduced & I would love wolves (but think it would be harder sell) - fingers crossed people in this country see sense
Thanks mate! Agree wolves probably won’t ever happen sadly but I can see lynx coming back in the not too distant future 🤞🏼 that would be one epic video with nothing to show at the end of it 😅
A nice video Olly. Glad you captured the two Barn Owls .. You covered up well with the Gilly suit but I think head and hand coverings go a long way when shooting wildlife. Just my thoughts. I look forward to seeing your next outing. Good luck. Ted.
Thanks Ted, I’m sure you’re right and definitely something for me to look into! I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback :)
Next time you could mark the locations of the trails cams with your maps on phone. Nice video! Awesome nature and wildlife
Good idea! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :)
I have no problem with Muntjac footage because I don`t see them where I live. It took me years to see a wild Barn Owl but when you do even a distant encounter is really special. Thanks for this Olly, I always look forward your videos.
There’s nothing like seeing barn owls in the wild, it’s always such an awesome surprise!
lovely video Olly, good to see you back out, love your enthusiasm, and I can relate exactly to how you feel when out in the field photographing the wildlife, the enjoyment on your face says it all, keep it up, and perhaps bump into you one day. 👍
Thank you! It’s so great to hear how many people can relate and share the same passion for wildlife and nature, it gives me hope for the future!
That was awesome, Olly! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks Jon, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment again! :)
Fabulous video and amazing footage of the Barn Owls👏👏 I know what excitement they bring as I've been following Barn Owls on my local patch .
Thanks Gary, that’s amazing - hopefully you might get to see some young ones this spring!
I had chance to photograph an owl first time last week. And gonna upload video soon. I definitely understand how you are excited in the video. Just found your channel. Subscribed. 🙂👍 thanks for sharing.
Ah that’s awesome, thanks for subscribing, I’ve subscribed back so I’ll see the video when you upload it! What type of owl was it? :)
@@wildlifewitholly thanks a lot. It was Ural owl. I saw it in the forest. Looking for vole on tree :) i could get quite close to it. Hopefully can finish video soon :) Good luck!
Very nice, trying to do the same, I did get some good shots of short eared owls the other day.
Nice!
Really enjoyed the video as always. Barn owls fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the comment!
Thank you for sharing this terrific video. I especially love the white barn owl. The deer have such a keen sense of smell, I bet they know it’s you and they are safe.
Thank you Sue! Lovely comment to have received, I’d love to think the deer know they’re safe!
great video, thanks
Thank you Petra!
Great to see this, Well-done on getting the Owls . I have just moved from Canon 7d Mk2s to the R6 mk2 and also the R7 , Would be great if you could do a video on you R6 mk2 settings , I also have the 300mm F2.8 and the 100-400mm , i might look at getting the 100-500 RF lens to replace the 100-400 , Just got to work out setting up the R6 now before i get out into the West Oxfordshire countryside, I tended to stick to Aviation Photography with livivng next to RAF Brize Norton ,But want to try more on the wildlife side of my hobbies. Keep up the great vlogs
Thanks Mark! I’ve been struggling to get out much this spring so my next videos will mostly be about me searching for wildlife rather than too much technical stuff but if I have the time then I might do one on settings or at least touch on them
a bit more in my usual videos!
@wildlifewitholly Thanks for the reply Olly , Been a expensive weekend or so with me replacing the 2 7Ds with R7 and R6Mkii, I traded in my 300mm prime for the 100-500 RF lens yesterday also .
I have an R6 MII. The barn owl shots are great, especially at just 300mm. Wow! Great patience. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I find the 300mm crops in so well so you don’t always have to be as close as the final image suggests!
Wonderful video Olly, love those beautiful Barn Owl images, wow well done and well spotted too 👏. So agree with what you said about the Muntjac getting such a hard time, so well spoken and so very true. Thanks for another awesome video and as always looking forward to your next new one, have a great week 👍
Thanks Raymond! I felt so lucky to be able to witness the barn owl and come away with nice photos. Thanks for your kind comment as always, have a great week :)
What an amazing vlog! Very well presented.
Thank you!
Immer wieder Cool deine Videos
Danke!
Spectacular video Ollie great work and luck on see the Barn owl
Thank you Ian!
Great video Olly really enjoyed it fantastic Barn Owl shots loved the hare jumping the brook at the end 😍
Thanks John! I hoped I’d get more on the trail cameras but I was so happy to get that clip!
Try not to go in the fields they are hunting in as you will disturb the food they need. We have had a recent incident of photographers doing this and made the barn owl starve to death.
Thanks, I always stick to footpaths and if I notice their behaviour change then I would move on. I also never share locations so I’m lucky that these areas are always very quiet and there’s very little disturbance. Appreciate what you’re saying though and I always put the wildlife first
