    what an awesome adventure. i am glad i have people such as yourself to watch and go on adventures with, i am a nature nerd stuck with no garden, and only managing to get somewhere amongst nature a couple of times a year. i have no parks near me, and nothing i can get to easily, so watching your channel helps me feel close to the nature that i love so much.
    on the positive side, i do have window bird feeders, but they go through spells of not coming, - especially if its too hot, like when we had the heat waves.
    Thank you Liam, for taking us on such a wonderful adventure.
    have yourself a great week. 🙂🤓👍👍

My father, who was wheelchair bound, was recorded back in the 80s using a new hide, for Does He Take Sugar (which incidentally was presented by a guy from Norwich). Is it known why the rabbit population has dropped so acutely? Ah yes - I also saw my first hummingbird hawkmoth this summer! Thanks again Liam

    Some great shots of wildlife. I'm so jealous you saw a few green woodpeckers. I'd love to see some but never have, but great to see them on here. I liked seeing pied wagtails too, don't often see them in nature areas near me, but they are cute the way they scurry around on their tiny legs. Really cool to see spoonbills too, watching them forage with their huge bill is a great sight- is that RSPB site one of the best places to see them, or were you just lucky that day?

  • @SkegnessDX

    I really enjoyed this video. Yes ... PLEASE do more of these wildlife adventures. Thank you for putting these videos together. I have learnt so much from them and find them absolutely inspirational. I am a total beginner when it comes to being able to recognise birds. As for Frampton Marsh, this is only a few miles from me and I visit every now and again. I must take my camera with me next time I go there. It's an absolute gem for bird spotters.

I have just watched this video as the rain pours down, the lightning flashes, and the thunder booms, here in south Dorset. Already I have forgotten what those long hot summer days were like!! Autumn is upon us! Thanks for a great video and for taking us along with you on your trip. Really enjoyed it all. 💯👍🙏

    Deeping Lakes is in Lincolnshire, Deeping st James, follow the river back towards the village for more wildlife psst there are otters. Also Frampton extends across the road into the farmland where you can sometimes see Merlin. You can get into Dole wood. It's a small but pretty nature reserve but you might prefer Bourne Woods. Also it's worth visiting Vine House Farm nearby, the farmer does all sorts of stuff to encourage wildlife. There are barn owls & marsh harriers very nearby to that camp sight.

I think the only other thing I was hoping for was that there would be some underwater shots, but oh well, maybe next time. Some of the terms you use aren’t familiar to me being I’m in the US, so I had to stop the video to look a few things up. Looks like you had a really nice vacation. It’s interesting getting to see so much of England. Thanks again for sharing your trip with all of us. Good job!

    Really enjoying your channel and the way you present the videos. My only suggestion would be to upgrade your camera or export in a higher resolution/ bit rate if your camera is capable. It looks really grainy on the 1080p premium setting on my 65 inch oled. I know that's possibly a big investment though if new equipment is needed and certainly didn't detract too much from me enjoyment of the video. Thank you so much for sharing

    Terrific Liam. Really enjoyed that, even though I've had to watch it in a few instalments due to being so busy with all and sundry at the moment. I do like your relaxed and slightly quirky (at times) narration and pieces to camera. Interesting to see that you visited Deeping Lakes. My Mum spent a fair bit of her childhood in the Market Deeping / Deeping St. James area. I've only visited the area once some years back for the funeral of an elderly spinster relative at the Priory Church of St. James in Deeping St. James. 👍👍👍

  • @markharrisllb
    @markharrisllb 2 роки тому

    This is an amazing country but so are all the others in our nation. When I was young egrets and spoonbills were exotic creatures and lapwings were two a penny. If there’s one bird that shows how careful we should be with our waste it’s the moorhen, I've lost count in the amount of nests I’ve seen decorated with plastic bags. My wife and I once saw 7 kestrels in a field near Martin Mere.
    I like dunlins, you can get really close and they seems so busy going about their business. The avocet came here during WWII when they flooded Minsmere.
    We all like to see the rarities but I’m not a lover of twitching.
    Bird flu isn't good at all, that was sad to see.
    Unfortunately Frampton doesn’t look too disability friendly, which is a tad annoying when you consider a massive portion of RSPB membership are either elderly or have disabilities.
    Ill informed animal activists and very poor breeders have caused a lot of damage with the released mink. Yes it it wrong to breed an animal in awful conditions just for its coat, but theirs areas where the released mink have decimated out wildlife.
    This is your best video yet in my opinion, and that’s saying something. Congrats on the moth.
