[@lizziet9871]

Great little educational film - thanks everso for sharing. 😀 Enjoyed that and learnt lots.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Brilliant! I'm glad it was useful and hope you know where to come for other british wildlife videos :)

[@lorraineclarke4868]

Stunning footage. I've an amature photographer and I do enjoy snapping away on wildlife. Butterflies don't taste their foods by their tongue they taste by their feet.

[@Kiddsmajic]

What a fantastic video Liam and easy to listen to

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you Janice :) I cant wait until it gets a bit warmer and insects start to make an appearance again!

[@michaelkeane5254]

Yet another brilliant video Liam, excellent and informative, thanks again for taking the time to educate us

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks Michael. I will be making a trip back to Foxley this spring so stay tuned for that :)

@@AShotOfWildlife bought the book now. It’s fab. My Butterfly knowledge and my enjoyment of Butterflies is increasing exponentially simply because I watched your vid. Thank you.

Comma, my favourite butterfly! Although I love moths too, possibly more than butterflies. Beautiful photography mate!

[@martinrejzek7674]

Great video! I watched it this morning and it made my day. Thanks for sharing it!

[@wallyjumblatt]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@antonellamenegatti9158]

Nice video 👍🙋😘

[@simonfunwithtrains1572]

There's me thinking that looks like a Ringlet and then you tell me its a Speckled Wood. Completely new to me as to I do not get to see this Butterfly so far North. Always learn something new from you. Thanks.

[@auroraborealis2442]

Fantastic video, thank you. There's an area on Mousehold, called Hairsteak hollow, named after the butterflies, which apparently can be seen there.

[@berthendrikx]

Thank you for this beautiful and interesting video.

[@tonycritcher3419]

A beautiful informative presentation!

[@AlexCollinsWaC]

what a great video

[@UkAmphibians]

Love this thanks for sharing 🐸💚🐸

[@paulmcwilliams8641]

When you go to Foxley the first turn from the car park is a left and it threw me, because I was concentrating on the environment and not my spatial awareness. The natural route is to turn clockwise from then on and the natural instinct is to try to get back to the car park using that rotational direction. I got lost too. My best memory of my last visit was when I went off piste accidently and had to push my way through bracken and other vegetation. The butterflies murmurated into the air like a Hollywood fantasy, making me stop from time to time. Foxley wood must be one of the best butterfly sites in the UK.

[@nathonhamilton4524]

a very nice video ...thanks very much.

[@AmyCHollingworth]

This was an interesting and relaxing video to watch :)

[@keithedmundson2318]

Great video 😊

[@theotheseaeagle]

I have tons of buddlia that grows in my garden so it attracts tons of butterflies. Normally I see red admirals or peacock butterflies

[@Bertil_Lundin]

Beautiful butterflies and great film Liam! Although hard to film I think you have managed very well. Thanks for sharing. I'm now trying to make something out of footage I managed to capture with the iPhone the other day of some Banded demoiselles flying around down by the river. Have a great weekend! // Bertil.

[@rorysmith2415]

Butterflies are nice insects.

[@GregsWildlife]

That was a lovely selection of butterflies! I've yet to see a fritillary of any variety and I've not seen a White Admiral since that one we saw last year at Hickling.

[@OriginalnaPL]

Just found this awesome channel. Subbed

[@angelpresley4899]

Great video x

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

An excellent selection of Butterflies there Liam. You scored well! Shame about getting lost! Glad you found your way back OK. You should get yourself a little battery back-up pack for your phone though! 👍😎👍

[@CamillaI]

We have a lovely nature reserve Martin Down Wilts / Dorset UK near me which produced a similar display to yours the other day, another informative and pleasant video thanks for sharing 👍

[@andyrob64]

Nice video Liam, love Foxley Woods, I was lucky enough to photo the Purple Emperor on my last visit but couldn't get the Purple Hairstreak! A great site on my doorstep!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Wow! There were a lot of people there when I visited looking for the PE but I don’t think it had been seen that day. Does the site have any wildlife highlights at other tunes of the year?

[@andyrob64]

@@AShotOfWildlife mostly for the butterflies Liam although I have photographed Garden warblers, Roe Deer, Greater Spotted Woodpecker and you do get a good range of passerines through the year.

[@macroandnatureworld-gdoremi]

A lot of Nymphalidae 👍👍👍

[@malcolmdocherty2254]

Really enjoyed your film. It’s hard enough even photographing them. I notice a decline in the numbers here in Scotland. No red admirals where I live now as compared to 2023

[@brianjackson2131]

nice vid , many thanks.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!

[@janettempest716]

I saw my first peacock butterfly this year 🤩

[@joshwalowe756]

Lovely video, would have been helpful to have the names labelled on screen whilst you were showing them :)

[@kev1kaz1]

Glad you passed your test and drive now, you’re interesting to listen to, is zoology what’s taught you about wildlife?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I’ve always loved wildlife but the zoology degree did help to increase my knowledge :)

[@tonybambridge3667]

An amateur you may be???, but that was another stunning video; thanks

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks Tony!

[@aprillroberts]

Hi please help. Just found a peacock butterfly in my house He’s very dormant what should I do ????

[@lullabiesofthedusk]

God's beautiful creatures

[@Kiltoonie]

Lost: oh well!

[@ضوالبيت-ح5ر]

Sudan land should save butterfly life for tomato farming in peace way completely

[@kayangel5042]

You are not giving full information about each butterfly and the type of caterpillars to look out for
