Thanks for sharing, the owl especially. Lots for us to see on Valentine's walk today, including koala!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Woah, how lucky to see a Koala today! Thanks for watching!

[@psychosquirrel555]

It frightened us grunting like a gorilla! Also saw a sacred kingfisher, yellow thornbill, superb fairy wrens, red brow finches, grey fantails, rosellas,, tree creepers and new holland honeyeaters. Productive for an after work valentine's stroll!

[@joanneclark6405]

You make the most beautiful videos, Thankyou so much. You have a lovely voice, clear and calm, and the subtle music is perfect.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it and hope you'll check out some of my other wildlife walks (if you havent done so already)

[@jillmoore7908]

Thank you Liam for a great visit to Titchwell. It was so nostalgic for us. We cannot travel anymore but our favourite place to holiday was the north Norfolk coast. We watched Titchwell develope over about 3 decades from when Norman Sills,the original warden, made major changes to start it on it's journey to what it is now. We saw so many "firsts" there, including Marsh harriers, Bitterns and my favourite Bearded Tits. I can see from your video that there have been even more changes since our last visit. Thank you so much.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you for coming along. I am glad this video helped you to reminiss and look forward to taking you along with me on future wildlife walks.

Another great video, full of lovely birds and interesting facts, and best of all, that little stoat and the tawny owl. You do get to see some super wildlife on your walks!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I do get quite lucky on some of these walks but I dont think I could go to somewhere like titchwell and not see lots of wildlife. Have a great week :)

Thanks Liam, great vlog as always. Did well to get that tawny owl! Great also to see the snipe and curlew, two of my favourite birds. Nice one! 😊 👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Cheers! I was glad the snipe were there, especially as I had been warned the hide wasnt worth going into. I think people sometimes overlook birds if they are not "super rare" but I love to see (and share) it all.

Thank you Liam. I enjoyed this video. I enjoy these walks that you do

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. If I had the time, I would make more of this type of video, I love filming them but it takes so long to edit into something watchable. Cheers

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Thanks, Liam. That was possibly the greatest variety of birds you've ever shown us in one sitting. I enjoy seeing birds that are rare in my part of the world, especially water fowl because there aren't any proper wetlands here in the Pennines.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I think you are probably right, but I am definitely going to show you more in a future video... I have quite a few reserve visits planned for this year and some of them are almost guaranteed to show even more birds than this! Cheers

Excellent as ever! So great to see the marsh harrier, what with the precarious situation this species has been through in recent times. Nice one Liam! ⭐👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you! I was at a reserve in north lincolnshire over xmas and spoke with the warden there, they were really excited that a marsh harrier had been seen the day before. It really reminded me of how well they have recolonised and how rare they still are in other parts of the country.

[@alanjust]

Excellent video Liam from a reserve I know very well. Did you notice the Spotted Redshank with the curlew?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I didn't realise it wasn't a common redshank at the time, I completely overlooked it to be honest. Lesson learned for next time. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@DeborahGaudin]

We thoroughly enjoy your wildlife videos. Your enthusiasm and knowledge are delightful as is the area you walk. Although we don't live in East Anglia, we live in Shropshire on the Welsh Marches, my family come from Yarmouth, so I love to "visit". On your recent video A Winter Wildlife Walk, your first featured bird was a thrush; and you commented that you didn't think of it as having a song. Being a poet, and loving poetry I thought I should quote you a few lines from Robert Browning's "Home Thoughts from Abroad" " That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture!" We all have our own opinions, but please reconsider your view on the Thrush's plaintive melody. Looking forward to your next walk Best wishes Deborah

[@AShotOfWildlife]

I do enjoy the thrushes call, I just dont think it is so much singing but more shouting repetitively. My family is also from Yarmouth, its where my love for nature developed and where I still visit occasionally to see if my childhood wildlife spots are still there?

[@paddytakesphotos]

The Norfolk coast is a wonderful place. I've been to Frampton Marsh and I visited minsmere this week. I'll have to add this one to the list. Great video as always.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Its definitely worth a visit, although Frampton and Minsmere are also both fantastic reserves. Did you see much at them?

[@paddytakesphotos]

@@AShotOfWildlife I did, mainly what you saw. I believe I saw a willow tit. I always see at least one marsh harrier when I visit nature reserves. My local is Staines Moor SSSI, The place is full of short eared owls at the moment.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Yes indeed, thanks! My feet have remained dry thus far, fingers crossed it stays that way. Cheers

[@ronseymour4976]

Lovely video Liam. I used to go to Titchwell Marsh regularly when I lived in Norfolk and I saw some fantastic birds there. Some rarities that I was able to catch up with, such as Blue-winged Teal, Long-billed Dowitcher, Pectoral, Buff-breasted, White-rumped and Baird's Sandpiper, Penduline Tit, Northern Harrier, Whisked Tern, Gull=billed Tern, Surf Scoter, Coues Arctic Redpoll, Purple Heron and Spotted Crake, serve to illustrate what a fantastic reserve Titchwell is. Did you notice the Spotted Redshank which put in a brief appearance as you filmed the Curlew? This footage brought back memories of my days spent birding in Norfolk. thank you so much for the trip down memory lane.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you so much for watching, I am happy to take you down memory lane. Thats a brilliant list of rarities, none of which I have ever seen yet. I noticed a redshank but didnt realise it wasnt a common one, I will have to go back and see how you noticed the difference (and pay more attention in the future) Have a good week!

[@welshskies]

A few days ago I photographed a pair of snipe at our local reserve her in Mid Wales, interestingly there were pair of teal in the same photograph. Lots of Lapwings and widgeon were around too. Excellent content, thank you. 👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Oh nice, there do seem to be quite a lot of snipe at wetlands at the moment, lucky that you got them and the Teal together. Thanks for watching!

Song Thrush reminds me of the Robins here in the states.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

They are fairly closely related I believe. They're about the same size but of course American robins are more colourful.

[@mrsmith4662]

Certainly difficult to see that Tauney owl (love these videos and saves me getting cold out there).

[@clarsach29]

I would never approach Liam if I saw him because I get all embarrassed and silly when I see celebrities on the street and would make a fool of myself. Great video again, loved seeing the stoat too. I always thought they were white in winter and brown in summer but maybe I'm thinking of some other animal?

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Im sure you would be fine, I am definitely not a celebrity. Some Stoats do go white during the winter, but it depends on where in the country they are and how cold the winter has been. As it hasnt been a cold winter here, I doubt any in Norfolk have gone white this year. Thanks for watching!

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

👍👍👍 Well done for braving the cold. Hope you're settling in well in your new home! 🤓

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you Sir Graham! Right place at the right time, making my own luck and all that. Yes, settling in really well (I managed to convince the boss to let me have a wildlife pond so ive been digging that all weekend). I hope you are all good mate!

Hi Liam. Just to let you know when you were showing the Little Egret at 10:50, and the Curlew at 12:30, there was a rare Spotted Redshank in with the bird. Hope you see this and love your vids

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you! I did not realise when filming or editing that this wasnt a common redshank... I saw the general gist of it but overlooked it presuming it was the same bird I had seen earlier. Thanks for pointing it out and I will be more observant in the future. Cheers!

[@nanaman]

You are a great inspiration Can we get the word out about the importance of the trees to wildlife. I live in an area that has a large population of native trees however the local people tend to think that some aren’t as important as others. It’s a shame and a lot of destruction to see.
