I can’t imagine how much work and time it takes to put these together, and you share everything for free! I’m a 63 year old nature nerd from the US. I recently got back into photography after a very long break. Just getting out into nature is its own reward, that is the success! Anyone who does this often knows some days are wet and grey and all the wildlife is hiding! Some days are stunning and there is so much to photograph, it’s like Christmas morning! Just get out there and enjoy the places that you’re visiting. Don’t put so much pressure on perfection or the “project”. These are memories you are building in your book of life. To quote the nature poet, Mary Oliver. Go out in nature, be amazed. Tell about it! (Oh and start selling that camo cap! I want 2!)
Kelly this is so kind of you, thank you for your lovely words. So glad to hear you’re back into your photography! Hope you get more “Christmas morning” wildlife encounters very soon! 😀 haha we will definitely keep you informed on the camo caps! 🧢
Don’t think of it as a failure to make a video. You are showing real life, not just the exciting/nice bits. Well done for getting out there and doing it! ❤
You two are also what is so likeable about your videos. You have shown us some wonderful footage, yes, some of it has been magical (those owls!), but I like you! You are relatable and not fake. Also, I think I can say that, as a bird-obsessed nature-obsessed Brit, your videos have shown me the muddy muted colours I know, and love. That misty morning was beautiful to me. Completely beautiful.
Wow thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! That really means so much to us! 🙏 So glad a fellow bird-obsessed nature-obsessed Brit enjoys our videos 😀
Great sentiment! I can say the same thing as bird obsessed,nature obsessed “yankee”! It does feel like I know you a little from watching these! I love the laid back, peaceful vibe of your work, and I always learn something! Great work!
Congratulations on year 1. I for one thoroughly enjoy your videos. I hope you continue onto bigger and better things. Just make sure you keep us in the loop, lol. Well done ladies
Great video!! I've been checking, waiting for the next video to come. I love the honesty, that it's not all chocolate and roses, that there are bumps and hurdles. Bring on this new year, onwards and upwards.
I've enjoyed your first year's videos and I admire your persistence. I didn't get out with the camera nearly as much as I planned to last year. I look forward to following you in 2025 and hope the year will be kind to you both.
Been so amazing to follow you both this year. You have both done amazing. Should be so proud of what you have achieved. Great video looking forward to the next one.
Peter thank you so much, and thank you particularly for your support over our first year, we've really appreciated it. Hopefully more videos coming soon and we might see you out and about! 😊
Your message for this video is inspiring. I’ve so enjoyed your videos, they’re so well done and I can see how you’ve progressed in 2024. Please make sure you are adventuring firstly for yourself, that’s the priority and if you’re inspired to create a video then that’s super. Have a great 2025 ladies.
Thank you Laurie, and thanks for all your support this year! You're absolutely right about making sure we're adventuring for... the adventure! 😀 hoping we can bring more progress into 2025 😊
Great job on your videos from this guy in Houston. Appreciate you naming the birds in one video as they're mostly all lifers to me. And never saw deer with racks like those! I also enjoy seeing the habitats you visit, very interesting stuff.
Setbacks aren't really failures unless you give up. This video was a clear example of where the elements were against you and there was nothing more you could possibly have done. There's still beauty to be found in the cold, misty uphill treks. But all that photo gear made it doubly hard, although I think ultimately worthwhile! If you return to that area one day, the light will be different and your whole perception might change. But anyway, I've enjoyed every single one of your videos and will watch for as long as you continue to output them. And if there's a long gap in-between, or you change your minds about it, that's OK too.
Micheal thank you so much for all your kind words and comments, we really appreciate your support! You’re so right about giving up, we still had an amazing time out there and it’s important to remember that 😀 it’s such a beautiful area we’re sure we’ll be back many times and maybe one of those we’ll get the result we’re hoping for, but will still enjoy it even if we don’t! 😀
Your uniqueness as content creators lies in the authenticity of your storytelling and your deep love for nature. You are much better than you think you are. Cheers from Belgium!
Good to see you both back. I love your little videos and it’s never occurred to me that you’ve failed. You’re showing us outdoors and wildlife, both of which are unpredictable. I’m looking forward to more videos during your UA-cam year 2. 👍
👍 i think i have seen that location , in a landschape channel of Tomas Heaton , maybe you know him ? its always good to be outside , and enjoy what nature gives us , there is a hole world waiting for you to be discovered and then for us to enjoy the movies , good luck and i hope to see more soon 👍
Thank you David 😀 yes you're right I think I've seen Thomas Heaton spend a good bit of time in the Lake District on his videos, they are awesome 😊 maybe one day we can get photos like he has! 😅
Thanks for sharing your experience! Life is a challenge. Ellen DeGeneres once said, 'When you take risks, you learn that there will be times when you succeed, and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.' - - Remember when we were babies, we fell down, got back up, fell down, got back up, and so on. Then one day we stayed up and walked... then fell down again! Just keep doing what you are doing, and as long as you both enjoy it, that's what counts. Your views will come along for the ride! Good luck in 2025!"
Another amazing video well done girls x Looking forward to what you bring us in 2025 I too started my channel in 2024 May I’ve not got as much talent as the both of you and still not found my voice I will endeavour to get some voice overs in 2025 Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video x
Happy new year Girls, hopefully plenty of grand vids in 25. R u doing your 5 owl challenge again? I've started with the L.E.O again so hopefully I may do it this year..
Happy new year Jonathan! I think we will definitely try and do the owl challenge again, I actually FINALLY saw my first LEO this weekend too, it was very much sat around not doing much so we'll have to try and film them when they're hunting! 🦉😀 keep us updated with how you get on with the owls!

Great video!! I've been checking, waiting for the next video to come. I love the honesty, that it's not all chocolate and roses, that there are bumps and hurdles. Bring on this new year, onwards and upwards.

Totally agree Terry! Absolutely wonderful place 😊
You guys are the best! X
Tommy YOU’RE the best 😀 x
