There is nothing better than helping children open their eyes to the beauty of nature.
A far greater gift than endlessly piling up the latest gadget or plastic toy.
I totally agree. Perhaps the Green Cross Code should be updated, & also revised for adults; that is to say anyone who owns a mobile, should exercise prudence when crossing the road, & not to 'gork' at their mobile when crossing a busy road. GORK - Acronym for "God Only Really Knows" - Medical slang for someone who has suffered a traumatic head injury and is comatose or in a persistent vegetative state. // Medicine slang, derogatory, offensive
a patient whose brain has suffered severe and irreversible damage and whose vital functions are being maintained by artificial means. What a disturbing example of irony. Gorking at one's mobile not paying attention when crossing the road, hit by a vehicle, to then be kept alive by another piece of technology.
Your lives are about to be turned upside down, back to front and inside out in the most wonderful way possible. What a fortunate little person to have a daddy who can teach her so much about the natural world around her. Hoping all goes well and wishing your little family every blessing 😊
A lovely video Liam and wish you both best wishes on your prospective new arrival. You’ll make a super dad 😁
I'm not able to get out of the house very much because of my health, so getting to view these wildlife walks is very therapeutic. My mum and I enjoy watching them together over hot drinks, and learning more about different species is a bonus! We enjoyed seeing a swallowtail in motion for the first time.
Great shot of the Swallowtail. I think that's probably the best view I've ever seen of one. 😀
Thank you Liam. I watch all your vids, but the wildlife walks are my favourites, imagining I'm following along. Congratulations on the upcoming birth, we'll all understand if you need to take a step back from filming for a while.
Wow! What a privilege to see a swallow tail butterfly 🦋 thanks
Harrier was amazing.
Just goes to show that there is always something to see even at familiar places..
Love and best wishes to both your wife and yourself as you step into the most amazing adventure of your life.❤❤
Thank you Liam !!!
Thank you for this wildlife walk. Best of luck with the new babboo!!
Thanks Liam, life is about to get very wild for you. Best wishes for a safe delivery and a healthy mother and daughter.
Penny drops - think I have seen damsel flies and not dragon flies!! Didn't even know there were damsel flies so thanks for the learning. The butterfly was stunning - lucky you!! ☀️😊
Damselflies fold their wings, Dragonflies keep theirs open.
Lovely wildlife walk, great to see the Swallowtail. Enjoy being a Dad 👍
Brilliant Liam, really enjoyed this wildlife walk. Swallow tail butterfly and Hobby, amazing!!👍
Thanks again for sharing your walk Liam, always a genuine pleasure! Swallowtail was stunning, so glad you saw it! You'll love taking your little one along when she arrives... my nephew only waited till his twin boys were three weeks old before he bundled them off fishing, to give their mum a break! LOL XXX
Thank you! I have the baby harness thing ready to go, she will be out with me within days I think. Of course, only very short amd local trips when the weather is just right. She will be the youngest person ever to see a norfolk Swallowtail (I hope)
Another informative video, I do enjoy your enthusiasm
Thank you Liam for another wonderful video, hope the birth of your baby daughter goes well, blessings from Wales.🏴🏴🏴
Yet another superb video. Thanks Liam. Great footage of the reed bunting and the marsh harrier. Best of luck to you and your partner with the new baby!
Yes! Stay as close to home as you can! With our first child ( also a daughter) I was delivering to a place 3 hours away and a woman walked onto the loading dock and asked if my wife was expecting? "" Huh""?!? She then proceeded to tell me that they were enroute to the hospital and I better get going! We finished the unload and I drove straight to the hospital! Parked on a side road and walked the rest of the way! Yup, 53 ft trailer, full size American "" lorry"" as you guys say! I made it. I was in the room for both of our children. A son who just graduated from college and a daughter who studied veterinarian medicine. Yes! We have many great animals and have had many wonderful experiences in the outdoors! Enjoy this time of life! God bless and safe travels!
As others have said, your lives will be turned upside down and inside out. But you will also be tied around your daughter’s little finger. Enjoy your daughter, she will be one lucky girl having you as a dad showing her all the wildlife.
Yes this is another great video. I really enjoy you videos
Greetings from Australia
What a lovely walk! I’ve never seen a swallowtail butterfly, now I know why, Jm in Berkshire not Norfolk 😁. Thank you, I’m really enjoying your videos. They’re like a breath of fresh air All the very best to you and your family ❤
Be nice to hear some of the birds you filmed. Well done catching the butterfly.
I think you're spot on with the damselflies.
Great video Liam. How fortunate to capture shots of the beautiful Swallowtail.
I wish you luck with the imminent birth of your daughter, how lucky she will be to have a father like you.
Lovely video, especially the long look at the Marsh Harrier. Thank you.
Another wonderful video Liam I am so happy that you got to see the swallowtail butterfly What a beautiful reserve to visit. I know for sure your daughter will love going with her dad to see the wonders of nature. Take care and see you next time ❤
I left the UK in 63 . Really enjoy your videos so cheers from Melbourne.
Just loved the marsh harrier and swallowtail. ❤
Thanks Mark! I'm glad you enjoyed those bits.
Hey, it was all great, just those two items stood out for me. ✔️
Cheers! I'm hoping to get out on a wildlife walk real soon and expect lots of harriers but perhaps no Swallowtail :)
Thanks Liam. Lovely video. Your daughter is, I suspect, going to have a wonderful upbringing.
😀👍 I like a cakey ending.
Thanks for allowing us to tag along.
Happy days buddy! ❤ glad you see a swallowtail 😜 x proper job! 🙌😃🙌
Thanks Liam for Hickling vlog. Really lucky to live near there. Great vlog as always, particularly enjoyed the shots of the hobbies. Best wishes to you & your wife on approaching parenthood. 😊 👍
Great video as usual. Good to see the Swallowtail. I'm off to hopefully see some Marsh Harriers myself at Rainham RSPB. Never get tired of watching them.
Lovely! We're grateful to you Liam for this, I mean you'll soon be a dad, and I'm sure all your subscribers and viewers will join me in wishing you both maximum joy in the arrival of the little one.
The kite footage is, of course ACE. 🌟👍
Liam, just wonderful films, keep up the good work. Love from Leeds xx
All the best Liam with your exciting & expectant news … ☺️👍 great video, marsh harrier looked very black and menacing, wow a swallow tail butterfly in the UK , amazing. 🤩 Hobby to, god they must be quick to catch a swift. Not a bad haul of relatively rare wildlife on your walk. Cheers
That was superb and the Marsh Harrier was my personal favourite. Best wishes to you and your good lady on your forthcoming arrival 😊
Nice video Liam enjoyed that cheers pal 👍🏼🍻
Thanks for the walk. That was great.I love Swallow Tail Butter Flies too.We have them in our yard in NE Florida
Didn't know you had a little one on the way! Good luck! You are going to be a wonderful father, Liam!
Ah, great video! Looking forward to hearing about the birth of your child, you're going to make a great father! I'm 43, and my Dad and I are both die hard birdwatchers, we've just got back from a 3 day birding trip to Lincolnshire, it's about our 5th or 6th birding trip this year. Nature can really be something that creates a long lasting bond with your child.
Hmmmm..... good treats after this job ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Erratum I think I meant to say marsh harrier.. Ooopsidaisy. 🥰👍
Fantastic everything.
Hickling Broad seems like a wonderful place to visit Liam. Your keen eye as ever picks out some real jems. All the best from here in Ireland.
No dragonfly on the head this time then! 😆 Top sighting that butterfly. Only seen them once before myself, back in about 1999 or 2000 or 2001 on the Norfolk Broads during a boating holiday. Keep up the good work my friend. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the great video Liam, I used to go sailing every year on the Broads and it is interesting to see Hickling Broad from the land, I really must revisit. I remember having my own marsh harrier experience on Hickling, seeing a pair doing airborne food exchange. Wishing you all the best with your new baby.
I love these walks, just recording the wildlife you see, without any specific aim.
I was at Hickling the week after you and there were several swallowtails feeding on the blackberry flowers at the end of the path that goes past the hides. There is a junction which goes to the woodland walk and that was the general area. I stayed there for about half an hour until I got one shot of a pristine insect, several had had narrow escapes from predators with bits missing from their wings. I hadn't noticed any other flowers during my walk, so it was just a case of waiting until they showed up. They do not settle for very long when they are feeding.
My Mrs is a couple of days overdue with our first child now! Absolutely can’t wait to take the little one to places like Attenborough/Carsington water! Good luck to you with the channel mate, and the nipper!
Loved the video Liam. New subscriber here. So pleased you got to see a swallowtail. I work p/t at NT Horsey and we were aware that one was seen on Ross’ boat trips the other day. None seen at Horsey yet!!
Great video man! Looking forward to the videos with your daughter, and I hope you will enjoy taking her on your walks! I bring my daughter to the forest every day and sometimes we make youtube videos. I love it and she loves it!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was a very nice walk, Liam. Everywhere I see pied wagtails, they look the same as each other, but quite different from the pied wagtails I’ve seen elsewhere. There really does seem to be an awful lot of local variants. I wonder why?
Another great video Liam. Very interesting as always
Liam. Have you seen on your travelling any Golden eye 's. And where were they ???
So as I’m watching this a Southern Hawker dragonfly has flown into our kitchen. Carefully picked it up and now resting in our bay tree by the pond. Beautiful, about 4” long. Think I’m right in saying one of the differences between damselflies and dragonflies, dragonflies can’t fold their wings whereas damsels do. And dragonflies generally bigger !
hope the birth goes smoothly, though i have to laugh at the 2weeks, maybe today maybe 4 weeks away, they turn up when they feel like it
i have a swallow tail tattoo and a clouded yellow too i had planned to get all the British butterfly, but life got in the way
Time for awesome wildlife content with A Shot Of Wildlife on RUclips
I would expect you to film the stork carrying your Baby.
I LOVE YOU. I AM ALWAYS LEARNING TOO
Could be to disturb insects
Dear liaaaaaam hiiiii how r uuuuu ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
great effort
