[@angelalayton1655]

Really enjoyed that Liam, so glad you got out of bed and went for a walk it was lovely to see so much wildlife in one short video. You make me laugh with your natural way and the way you film is relatable. Brilliant stuff

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

10 out of 10 for getting the stoat on video - they're so fast and don't break cover often so even spotting one is lucky. 😄 Incidentally, I'm told by farming people that moles only come to the surface a couple of times per day, and only at certain times, so it might be worth noting what time it was when you saw the one in the video if you want to spot them in future.

[@vetworker]

What a fantastic video. I must go and explore this place. I am often near this area. I get a great spotted woodpecker in the woods opposite my house and I hear him start hammering the same time every year, he should be around anytime soon. What a plethora of wildlife you saw. Great stuff. 👍👍👍

[@charlesbarbour2331]

I have never been able to see a woodpecker drumming or a mole surface. Thanks for braving the weather to let us see these beautiful things.

Love it! Thank you for this adventure entry on your diary 😊 would love to visit there, sounds like a piece heaven 🥰

[@tonycritcher3419]

'Inanimate pile of dirt' ! I had to chuckle there! What a great morning, worth getting out of bed for despite the cold and rain. Always a joy to see all you get to film, great commentary and informative. Don't be shy about talking to the camera in front of a couple of people you have over 41thousand subscribers watching!!

Great channel I love the wild life you find. A few years ago I was walking by a stream in Milton Keynes, I saw a mouse run across the path it was then chased and caught by what I think was a Weasel! But, once the Weasel got the mouse a crow came down from the tree and took both of them off! An amazing display of the food chain in action lol. Good luck with the channel 👍

Lovely video, reminds me a little of Brownsea Island with their bird hide and Sika deer. Always great to visit these areas especially now to see all the spring activity of the birds. Thanks for all your work, really enjoyable.

[@paulwarner5674]

Brownsea also has red squirrels

[@celestenova777]

@paulwarner5674 yes, I saw just the one when I was there - quite small I thought compared to the grey but beautiful colour and a joy to see.

[@SkylarkFields]

Really enjoyed this, Liam. The stoat was a real bonus - have seen the odd one or two but NEVER been able to film one - or photograph one. And how good was that to see the LTT nest! Great selection of birds and wildlife and the commentary was excellent, and with just the right amount of humour, and interesting facts.

[@alisonmansfield9052]

Absolutely great video, I don't usually watch these sort of videos but clicked on it as am getting more interested in birds ,have subscribed as you do a great job explaining everyone of the birds to, they are so clever with their nest building, I took my dog for a walk today and watched some crows building their nest, weaving the sticks in and out ,totally fascinating ,thanks for this and greetings from Penzance Cornwall

[@OspreyFlyer]

I hope you get the birding bug! 👍😂

[@williamrobinson7435]

Once you've seen corvids nesting it's impossible to deny thier superior intelligence. Crows are brilliant at teamwork and can do things like removing an entire slice of pizza from a bin without losing the olives. Once bits drop off and they're tempted to eat the thing they become a tad less civilized, but they are amazing.. 👍

[@PaIaeoCIive1684]

Those long-tailed tit nests are wonders of bird engineering. Light, almost spherical, snug inside and with a small aperture. My nephew played football with one and it was durable enough to retain its shape with only a little fraying.

[@williamrobinson7435]

This HAD to be rewatched. Sir David Attenborough MUST see this. I just KNOW that he will love it. I was enchanted by the Chinese water deer, and the story with the robin, mole and worms was fabulously real. I have seen a stoat, once I woke up under trees and saw him/her eating my salted peanuts. I saw another, zipping by, not unlike your one here, but the peanut eating one was by turns motionless (why we don't see them) and tumbling and chewing in appearance of delight.. Nice one Liam! A film to keep. 🌟🎥🌟👍👍

Fantastic, never seen a monkjack. Interesting fact about the shellducks. Using a burrow,I film a pair up at the mull of Galloway. You learn something everyday from enthusiasts like yourself. Any chance you could do something on the Watervole. I've scouredany a riverbank. And it's a long time since I encountered one. Are they in decline. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant video. Deffo seems a great place to spot many varieties of wildlife. Glad your camera survived the day out, lol. I've read and heard that Greylag Geese pair for life. But just before the first lockdown in 2020, I had been filming a Greylag pair nesting for a couple of weeks and I noticed the male was still mating with other Geese on the lake while the female was on the nest nearby. Is this normal or are Greylags prone to mating with just their partner?

Love the film mate , when I started a bit more walking I bought a pair of walking trousers they are so much more comfortable than jeans, also carry a bin bag to sit on and or in your case shove over the camera to keep it dry, I know this is a bit of an old geezer post but at least you get a comment for the algorithm

[@AShotOfWildlife]

To be honest, I wear jeans for everything so I'm used to them, but perhaps I should invest in some walking trousers. I also normally carry a carrier bag with me in case of rain but somehow managed not to bring one for this trip. Thanks, every little helps when it comes to the algorithm!

It was feeding off the surface of the water on a half submerged willow branch in a small tributary stream behind a weir on my local river. Still haven't been able to identify it .. but it made my fishing trip didn't see a single pike 👀

I saw my father at the kitchen door feeding a Robin some seeds from his hand! The Robin sat on his finger eating the seeds. It took some time for him to do that as the bird was a little timid at first, however as there was snow everywhere I guess the bird was very hungry!

It is true that the Negev desert takes 2/3 of Israel and there are a lot of prairies but there are still a lot of wetlands and marshes. Israel is very diverse even if it's pretty small, in fact most of the bird in the UK can be seen in Israel and I could pretty comfortably say the Marsh harrier is the 4th most common bird of prey in Israel (after the Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and Black winged kite(
