I am now going to have to try using a 400 plus mm for some flowerscapes. Great Video!

[@awildvision2017]

Glad you enjoyed it and best of luck with the photography - plenty of subjects over the next couple of months!

Thanks, I enjoyed the video and your photos, especially the long lens shots with the dreamy background. Also loved watching you and Sky walk the well trodden dog paths together.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, plenty more to come!

Some great shots there Rob, I really like how you have put this together, well done mate. Great to see England in the Spring. I use to work on a farm near Fordingbridge, Hampshire and the farm cottage backed onto a bluebell wood, it was a pretty special spot.

[@awildvision2017]

Thanks, these videos do take a lot of effort to put together and I have lots more stuff planned. Bluebells are one of nature's most spectacular displays and I had to document them in some way. The rain is finally due to arrive today!

Enjoyed the informative content. Well worth the effort producing the video. But let's have a bit more wild vision for ground nesting birds in May ...dogs on leads ... please.

[@awildvision2017]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the content. You are absolutely right about ground nesting birds at this time of the year and I'm very careful about where I let the dog off the lead - this was filmed in locations that are busy public access places.

My thoughts exactly. I guess there must be a sign up for the birds... 'Warning for Birds. Don't nest here, humans with loose dogs rule'. Dogs trampling on wild flowers too. Only watched 3 minutes.

@@CarolineOrdHume to be fair I have seen worse examples Caroline but my patience is at an all time low with dogs running amok locally!
