Brilliant Northern Hen Harrier footage !!! My goodness how fortunate to be able to get that on film 🎥!! Well that was your day sorted right there . Class !!!! Have a great week ahead my friend 👍🎥
Cheers Craig, it was a magical moment with the Harrier, to capture her eating on camera was a bonus. Hopefully next time I shall capture those Owls in flight! Cheers Rich 👍
Loved the video again Richard and we really were spoilt with all those birds here, beautiful images and really loved the one's of the Starlings, such a very underated looking bird I always think. I cant help but admire your woolly hat is that a fox on it, have a great week 👍
Thanks Raymond, yes it really is such an amazing place for wildlife and the diverse range of species never fails to impress me. Certainly an underrated bird and when you see them up close the colours really are so beautiful. Ah, my favourite hat the Fjallraven Beenie, keeps my head nice and warm, never leave home without it. Thanks again Rich 👍
Really enjoyed this vlog. Wonderful selection of birds especially Hawks and Kestrels great to watch.Although I’m not a photographer I really enjoy the information you give about how to get the shot,it must help people who are learning.Look forward to what ever comes next.🥰
Thanks very much Alison, such a diverse range of species in quite a small area. Thanks for that and it's great you enjoy it purley from a nature fans perspective. I hope it helps some people. Thanks hopefully a few more coming soon. Cheers Matt👍
Hi Rich, another top video 📸 with lots of different species, I was only thinking yesterday about the starling, such a great bird with awesome colouring 👍 great to see the long eared owls again too. Harrier footage on the floor was just awesome 😎 as always thanks for bringing us along Mate 📸
Glad you enjoyed it Lee, it’s an amazing spot with species galore! The combination of raptors is superb, the harrier on the ground was a first for me and great to see. Thanks for watching 🙏👍
Another amazing video Richard. It was great to meet you. Hopefully, we can get you down for the Snowy. Unfortunately, it is even more of an urban environment than this park.
Thanks very much Mike, it was great to catchup and have a bit of time to chat about all things wild! Would love to pop down net week if time allows, I think I can manage that for a Snowy Owl, lol.. Cheers Rich 👍
Awesome footage, Richard. Great shots. I don't mind being around other photographers (as long as they have respect and ethics) but it's the filming Infront of people I can't do lmao. Love ya bro. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks very much mate, it's much appreciated! Yeah, it can work in some situations but I still love to be out on my my own more often. You too my friend, all the best and thanks for stopping by. Rich👍
Makes me wonder if all the photographers learned about the Short-eared and Long-eared Owls on eBird. We birders must be sensitive to not crowd the birds we see and photograph. I really love and respect your birding style and always find it morally and ethically sound. Not a trait you see often where I live in Florida. Marvelous shots, Rich! That looks like really good habitat you are in. You need to mark this place as a personal hotspot. Learning a lot about photography from you. Keep the videos comin". That last video of the Harrier was amazing!!
Thanks for watching June, I think they are all plugged in to eBird, you'd hope it would be kept a little quite but I am sure the competitive nature for some may spoil it! Hard to say with any certainty. Thanks for saying and it's good that you see it come across in my videos where I hope to inspire and teach others to do it the same. Yeah, it's a hotspot for sure and one I'll be back to time and time again. Cheers Rich 😀
Wow, mate what a great day! I can understand your delight with the harrier encounter; I usually only see them flying at distance. Not much chance of seeing many birds here in the UK at the moment with Storm Isha coming through. Take care! 👍🏻
Thanks Steve, seeing it that close was a special moment and to watch her digest her meal was pretty cool. Usually they really are at distance but she didn't want to leave that meal for anything! Yeah it's been rough hasn't it, I've been in the UK since last Wednesday, head back soon. Rich 👍
Wow, what an amazing location to be able to see such a variety of birds of prey in one day!! Great video and stills of the action in the air and on the ground. Well done! Your new vlogging kit is working well even in that flat light. Cheers, Phil
Glad you enjoyed it Phil, and thanks for commenting on the new video outfit, think there was a mono channel running a bit but I hope to sort that next time around. Such a cracking location with so many birds to see in a small area. Cheers Rich
Great video as always Rich, loved the new camera quality, it does sound like its recording in mono so left channel only but over all great audio and image quality coming from it. Amazing location, sad to hear that one of the harriers got killed. I hope one day to return to this spot to capture some more images myself and would have loved to get harrier photos as i haven't seen one in person just yet !
Thanks very much for watching Jordon, I'll take a look at my sound settings as you are right it's lost in places, maybe due to my settings so i'll investigate that, glad you think it looks better. Sad about the harrier fatality but I'm still not 100% it's true! It's a great spot and was a most enjoyable days photography. Fingers crossed you get the chance to see this most beautiful bird do its thing! Cheers Rich👍
Hi Richard that was a fantastic video the northern harrier was brilliant, so many different species there truly a amazing place,the photos and video footage was outstanding, that amount of wildlife in one day out in that park just a amazing place, finding the owls in one tree it’s nice to see the Rangers put some fencing up along the path hopefully it might put people off from getting to near to them, Richard this was truly amazing video thank you for sharing it with us. Martyn
Glad you enjoyed it Martyn, it was certainly a fun day out and the species seen were amazing, didn't quite get my Owls in flight shots but that doesn't deter me and I just loved seeing them over any image. It's also great to see the fencing erected to protect the Owls, it's needed as when it was getting dark there were a dozen photographers waiting right next to the trees for the birds to fly! Heard later they didn't hunt until much later due to the amount of people and noise! Shame people couldn't leave them be! Until next time mate👍
@RichardBirchett been fixing up a flooded house due to water main burst. Just trying to juggle it with a full time job plus the short daylight hours not helping.
Some lovely footage and pics Rich, really enjoyed the video. I see you are using Valleret Gloves, which ones are they and do they keep your fingers warm ? I went out the last few days to see some Shorties back here in the UK and came home with some images 👍 but my fingers were numb with the gloves I was using. Cheers Doug 🙂
Hi Dough, thanks very much for watching the video and glad you liked the footage and pics. Yeah, they are the Skadi Zipper Mits are are superb gloves, with the inners it gives you best of both worlds, top gloves and warm hards! Glad to hear you've had some success with the SEO's I hope this weather hasn't killed a few as it's been pretty windy and wet! Got to protect yourself when out in ther elements. Cheers Rich 👍
Thanks for the heads-up with the sound it's much appreciated, I shall look into it and rectify it in the next video. I'm pleased with the new video quality. Thanks for watching. Rich 👍

@@RichardBirchett I can see light at the end of the tunnel! I did manage an afternoon last Sunday to finish a budget tripod review.
Nice one mate, you not been feeling the love lately? Good to see you've been back out mate@@wildphil
@RichardBirchett been fixing up a flooded house due to water main burst. Just trying to juggle it with a full time job plus the short daylight hours not helping.
@@wildphil nightmare mate! Sounds horrendous! Hope you get it sorted soon 🙏👍
Well done Richard, a great video once again.
Many thanks Roger👍
Great vlog ,nice to see the many birds of prey over where you are
Thanks Gary, there sure are a great variety of birds in such a small location! Hopefully maybe some SEO & LEO Flt shots next time. R👍
Top Drawer .

Cheers Colin, yeah they are pretty good to be honest and the highways always keep them clear. Cheers R👍

nice video quality with your new gear, but when you speak the is only in left side(speaker), when music both channels ok, you must look into that :)
Thanks for the heads-up with the sound it's much appreciated, I shall look into it and rectify it in the next video. I'm pleased with the new video quality. Thanks for watching. Rich 👍
hi Richard
You were so busy talking in this video, I'm not used to that. When people talk busy, it usually indicates problems, are you okay?
Yeah I am fine thanks, I just had more to say this time around. Sorry it's not for you but I appreciate you watching regardless. Cheers Rich 👍
