Re tripods I find sometimes the squirrels are wary of them Ive had many a red arguing with a tripod, shouting at it and flicking its tail.

Looks like a great setup - just getting all our fingers crossed for you guys to make loads of wildlife sightings before the hot drinks run out... Best wishes...

Exciting stuff Dan & Stuart, looking forward to seeing what visitors you get. Being on the edge of woodland, hopefully you will get some tawny owls visit your perches 🤞 All the best with it guys. Keep on keeping on! Best, Nick

Sorry, I would question Largest Land Animals. You know they are released wild Bison in the UK (Kent).

Great stuff, good luck both, should be very rewarding,

Poor Pops have fun😂

well im here again so yup defo one my faves lol

Love your videos mate keep them coming .. I would love to meet you at st aidens one day and spend a few hours with you to try and learn from you as I’m new to wildlife photography that would be ace I live in Sheffield myself

Good to see you using the speedigimbel, it's brilliant, no need for a tripod anymore, unless your after really slow shutter speeds.

What a fantastic idea you came up with I can’t wait to see what you and pops manage to photography through the winter 🥶 really looking forward to it take care. PS great to see POPs looking so well Mike.

Love to do something similar, live up in West Cumbria and have too many idiots who cant see anyone having anything, loads of places but

Can't wait to see what arrives at your hide. Great to see pops looking well. 😀

Hi Dan I see that the “dynamic duo” is back together again so at least there is one proper photographer in the video 🤣 I really hope Pops is keeping well after his health issues 🙂 .... despite his son’s cruelty 🤣 The Monal looks like an excellent hide for 2 people. I’m looking forward to seeing it in use. Tragopan do seem to produce some excellent kit. Coincidentally, I have just bought the Tragopan Grouse (single person) hide (plus a Tragopan chair) via Simon Eardley’s Tragopan shop which I will be using very shortly for the first time for my local Red Fox project 🙂 That additional scrim netting and natural vegetation is a good tip …. I am going to do that 🙂 Richard

Good luck with the new hide venture,great to see Pops getting exited. Had a visit to Simon Eardsly’s hide last week, brilliant set up and incredibly high end build quality right down to the sheep’s wool insulation. Never seen so many Jay’s and Woodpeckers and had a great time honing my BIF skills. Dave.

cant wait to see what u and pops capture with ur new wildlife.

I hope you get plenty of visitors to your hide. I use the Tragopan Grouse and the Lagapus and find them both excellent well made hides. Its a waiting game as you know but its cosy and with some food and drink no better way to spend time. My last Buzzard took 7 hrs to come onto the perch but was worth the wait.

Excited to see what you see 📷🦅

What a lovely Father/Son relationship you have. ❤ can’t wait to see what comes to visit.

Cant wait to see what you see :)

Hi Dan, great video and nice to see Pops too. I finally got to Scotland wildlife Hides. Two buzzards turned up sat in the trees and then left maybe they were spooked. But we had sparrow hawks so wasn’t so bad after all.

Congratulations to you and Pops. Can’t wait to see what you guys get.

Nice one Dan 👍 was thinking about doing something like this up my way...🙂.. your dad is well excited..👍🙂... looking forward to seeing videos from here....👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome project Dan, i hope we will see a lot of footage coming from the hide. Best regards to pops. 😉

Looking forward to seeing the local wildlife🐿🐦....Great job both of you👍

Great vid - look forward to following you both on this new adventure!!

Excellent video and informative plus tragopan have waterproof leg tripod covers be useful

Awesome to see Pops out with you!! Looking forward to seeing what happens with your new hide!!

Wow, Dan! That looks like a great setup! Thanks so much! I will have to try to find something like that here in the States.

Brilliantly done! So lovely to see Pops. I’ll be back again soon

I'm looking forward to seeing some interesting footage from the hide. I love hide photography, and I think the slot in the side walls to allow the leg of your tripod to be outside the hide is a great idea. Someone has put some thought into that addition. My only concern is that your fishing seats and possibly the hide will not be there the next time you turn up. I genuinely hope I'm wrong. It's good to see Pops back in action.👍

Had the same kind of setup in a private woodland for two years then the yobs found it, took the trail cam, two folding chairs and damaged the hide so just because you have it screwed down does not g/tee it's safe. Good luck with the venture hope it works as well as ours did.

Fantastic set up, often thought about doing something similar, so looking forward to what you guys see. :)

Great idea looking forward to seeing what you get 😎

Great video as always Dan. Great to see Pops again also. I'll be interested in hearing your long term review of the hide, I have been eyeing that one myself over here in the States.

Hi Dan, just a quick note that I saw being mentioned in another youtuber’s video, is that rodents got inside and started chewing parts of the hide. So this is something to consider if you are going to leave it up for as long as you are planning.

Really great video Dan and bet you really looking forward to spending time in the hide and seeing what wildlife comes to the area. Defo exciting times ahead for you both. 👍 now we’ve set down roots in Northumberland was defo looking to get a hide so will check out their website. 😀

Looking forward to more from the hide, Dan ! I wonder if it could withstand a Lewis winter !?

Exciting times ahead Dan, can't wait to see the results sometime soon. Simon has a good set up with his new hide, I spoke to him about it at the Bird Fair earlier this year, will be good to see what results you get at yours and his. Chris

Excellent work fellas .. add a small reflection pool and you'll be good to go. Hope I;m wrong but I fear your main obstacle will be ......SQUIRRELS !!! Good Luck.

internal height: 140cm x length: 220cm x width: 140cm

Looks great and I can't wait to see you visiting Simon's hide, he has a great channel too as you know

Looking good gents. Nice set up !

look forward to your sessions in the hide, paps camo head cover could catch on ! ATB

What happened to Aviemore Dan?, i use Tragopan gear and i have the V6 i use for my Kingfishers, look forward to your results .. stay safe

Looks like the beginning of a great project Dan, I’ll look forward to seeing plenty of videos from you and Pops, best of luck to you both

Brilliant exactly what I got on my peace of land for photography glad to see pops looking very well👍🏻👍🏻

Looking forward to seeing your adventures 😊

Great to see Pops again. What a fantastic opportunity for some amazing wildlife photography. Looking seeing you at Simons hide

I live in the forested northern Michigan, and we can have several reds AND several greys at the feed piles at the same time. Along with the chipmunks, black-capped chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, and the adorable tufted titmice. The chickadees fly millimeters from our bodies. We absolutely love the sound of their wings. I have thousands of photos of a particular 30 acre chunk of sugar and striped maple, hop hornbeam (locals call it ironwood), hemlock, balsam fir, basswood, and cedar with about a dozen other tree species. It’s a dune ecosystem. The red squirrels are our favorite friendly furry/feathered forest friends. ✌🏼💚

Have only come across your channel today.thanks Dan it is fantastic. My daughter and I have spent some fantastic times in mull camping and doing our photography. Your videos are fantastic glad to be a new follower.
