Spring, Northern Sweden and routines of a Wildlife Photographer

[@boerje8154]

Yes, spring is the best season. Dani, I think we all get depressed in dark January and cold February, here in Sweden, but then spring comes. 😀 Thanks for another great video. 🙂

[@RichartAsia]

Just listening to the narration is so calming

[@freddymerzbach4753]

You captivate me with your films just like David Attenborough. Never never doubt that this is what you are supposed to do. Beautiful!!!!👍

[@napeekapunpimtongnara9111]

I think you and the squirrel are friends. The squirrel accepts you and allows you to approach. Your world and the squirrel are so simple and close to nature that many people have never experienced before.

[@jarmo3171]

Super beautiful videos of spring in Skellefteå. It's amazing time when the nature wakes up after depressing dark winter time. Thank You Dani for your posts 💚🧡💛

How wonderful to hear all those birds singing without the sound of traffic. Whether to be at your desk or out in the forest enjoying nature must have been a no brainer.. I know which I would have done.

[@wildhearth]

Beautifully told - matching the lovely images. But those black birds are fierce!

[@mikkosuhonenphotography]

Spring is awesome!

[@sameeralazawee7524]

Really very nice and beautiful >>>>>> Thank you .

[@jollyjokress3852]

16:20 i wish most of earth was natural like this! This pristine nature is what it is about. The most beautiful creation on earth! 😭😭

[@olivernash2240]

Really enjoyed the black grouse!

[@kjbunnyboiler]

Simply beautiful 👍

[@bonilsson3161]

Have you ever thought about making a video from Finland about the flying squirrel? Pteromys volans, Tey are similar but quite a different origin I think, but quite interesting animals. And an excuse to go ti Finland...

[@Mr31formula]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

[@dlejon1044]

There are many signs of spring, but "squirrels lactating" took me by surprise! Never heard that one before!

[@DaniConnorWild]

Hahaha

[@kelvinsmallwood6315]

Another wonderful video. Love the squirrels & the scenery. I agree it is too nice to be inside. Thks for posting.

[@Osmone_Everony]

And you wondered why people preferred a spring update over another arctic video in your poll. :-) You nailed it perfectly. 💚 Top notch quality. I soak it in like a dry sponge. 💛

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always and beautiful scenery 👍🤗

[@SergeyGolovanov-gsa65]

Добрый день. Ваши фильмы мне очень нравятся. Они спокойные и красиво сняты.

[@russrichards]

Brilliant, as is the norm from you Dani. That river though, oh that river!! 😊😊

[@derelicts9503]

All the stress of the day just melted away and for 17 minutes everything was wonderful and dreamy! :)

[@grahamsmith5780]

Very enjoyable video, great shots of the birds and squirrels.

[@FancyPants43]

Love the photo touch with the sun shining off your hair. It gives a halo effect. 😇💚 Aren't you glad winter has ended and spring has sprouted? The forest is extremely active and thriving. The sounds are so peaceful. Must be a great experience. ❤

[@63phillip]

You have an amazing stress free job and lifestyle, I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing another great video.

[@sameeralazawee7524]

I wish you all the best >>> Thanks

[@marcel9568]

Beautiful video as always!

[@jeffreywolff4961]

Fantastic photography and production as always 👏👏👏

[@shirleyboy8859]

Dani Please keep making videos like this as they warm my soul...... You are a Delight..... Thank you...... :-))) xxx

[@pedade02]

Great and inspiring... Slow, respectfull, passionate and truthfull approach!

[@kennyw6932]

Absolutely beautiful photography of the grouse lekking, in all their puffed up majesty. It's similar to the sharp-tailed grouse swagger in North America however the black grouse is much more colorful. Their red eye combs are such a brilliant color contrasting with their black feathering. Thank you for sharing.

[@mousehouse4617]

Hi Dani. Love the arrival of Spring. For me it's the first sighting of a bumblebee🐝

[@danielyang3995]

Thanks for sharing!

[@othmarzimmermann5924]

Beautiful!

[@michaelsivertsen4381]

Amazing videos and I’m glad you enjoy nature . He is a amazing God and created you and all you see. I doubted that it was true but he has shown me he is real and loves you.

[@jenniferb.7250]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us! I really enjoy your channel.

[@jedionboard1233]

I so look forward to seeing your videos and photos. Just glorious. I have your squirrel calender, and its glorious.

[@tommyarvemark8117]

Your videos always makes me calm down. I love forest too and next year I will sail my motorhome and buy a house in the wild too.

[@lorettabray1483]

Spring is such a happy time. Thank you for another wonderful video!

The subarctic spring is such an intense change, almost abrupt. Light, birds, crazy snow melt, green leaves, insects, flowers. I grew up a bit north of where you are, and I now live in Stockholm - a fair bit to the south, and even here, the springs are much less intense.

[@andersneiglick6473]

Another great video!!! Thanks Danni!! 😊

[@SergeyGolovanov-gsa65]

Спасибо Вам за ваш и фильмы.

[@Robt137]

You bring such joy with pictures and narration

[@MrFvibes]

I enjoyed this video a lot! Before I realised, it was finished. You have a nice calming voice! great work!

[@blucat4]

Brilliant, just wonderful, thanks Dani. 🙂🥰 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since the BBC axed Springwatch, these feature videos are even more important to the nature lover in the UK, Cheers guys

[@ciara1045]

springwatch hasnt been axed, its on at the moment!

[@blakecook7469]

Hi Dani, you have a knack for making great content, the pizza looked amazing...

[@datalasse]

Thanks for a great video!

[@KalleFlodin]

You really put words on all my feelings about this spring! It feels amazing that it's finally here! This video was one of the best ones you've done so far, keep em' coming ❤

[@Park_Squirrels]

02:25 такой лихой вид у белки, усы длиннющие 😀🔥🐿👍

[@Cambourn81]

brilliant many thanks.

[@patcollins6087]

[@MetteKjorstad-vb5ym]

thank you Dani! I stay in the Stockholm archipelago during the summer, put my tent up this weekend, the birds start at four in the morning when the sun comes up, its wonderful! what beautiful photos of the grous, thank you! greets/Mette

[@PinfoldPhotographic]

Great footage of the black grouse! It's on my to-photograph list for sure! Lovely video as always 😊

[@SimonBullArt]

My wife and I watch all your videos. We love them all! The music on this one made it hard for us to hear you talk. Just thought we would let you know. 😊❤

[@randyschwager2515]

This inspirational video was the perfect way to start my day! Thanks for taking me along!

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Absolutely stunning countryside. Every time I see pictures of Sweden, I’m even more impressed. New subscriber. Have a peaceful week.🌲. The squirrels are adorable.

[@mistydawncreates]

It's wonderful seeing sitting come again. I'm glad it bright you out into the light with motivation. Danni, i know i would love another one of the longer, no voice over videos. I love to rewatch your videos when I'm creating. Beautiful shots of the grouse. Wow. Aren't they flamboyant

[@gadezso]

Recently discovered your channel , stunning videos pro editing ,keep up the extraordinary work.......maybe consider adopting a dog ,will make burnout stuff to go ...dogs love is so precious....

[@SergeyGolovanov-gsa65]

Добрый день. Спасибо огромное Вам за ваш фильм. Очень талантливо снято и смонтировано. Хорошо что на планете есть люди влюбленные в природу.

[@opheliase7473]

Ah that was so beautiful and calming. Sorry about the discomfort of the cold and wet, but it looks as though you succeeded in capturing some excellent grouse lek activity. Amazing the day-night transitions being so different from N America where I am. Your food looks delicious btw 💜

[@annika93dk7]

Wow, fantastic ✨

[@BengtLindkvist]

Thanx for this beautiful video. Beside: If you like Abba's music, I can hint that Janne Schaffer, who played together with Abba, is playing at a festival in Mobacken in western Skellefteå.( He's behind their guitar riffs). There is also a forest here where the rare white-backed woodpecker has settled. It is a primeval forest, which in the summers becomes a djungle. Welcome ..!

[@BengtLindkvist]

I forgott to tell d festival is 9-11 june.

[@kevinmallick7742]

Great video. Very inspiring!

[@lordrindfleisch1584]

Äntligen är våren här! Väldigt fin video! (I am assuming you know some Swedish by now)

[@daveexplore3856]

🌹😎love what you present Dani. My drug is photography. I deal with mental health issues. And nature & photography really settle me down 👍

[@Onni.Noscofv0234]

Love it... Beautiful Dani.. 🤘👌😉🙃☕🍵🍔🍾📹🌟❤️

[@telemaq76]

another great inspiring video. the sounds you captured from those birds around 12 or 13:00 are crazy, i thought the sound was coming from outside my window, i had to stop the video twice to be sure lol. great sound capture, the stereo effect is awesome.

[@kashesan]

Dont burn out Dani!

[@hey_mickey7770]

Your content is so comforting, thank you❤ I live in Florida when it's 65 degrees here we're "freezing" ❄️ 😂

[@ilpoheikkila4773]

Great video again!

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Dani, I just spotted your aerials on the roof, I recognise the TV areal and I think I know what the other areal is but I am not sure if it is an old CB areal or ham radio, it looks like a “big Jim” that can be used for both CB of ham radio.

[@LoudnessJP]

Great footage:)

[@777pusher]

It is hard, to get over my infatuation with you as a spectacular woman, and just enjoy the content of your work. Thank you for what you do, presenting my beloved creatures of this Earth in such an immaculate way.

[@gruu]

My gooosh,, that sunset at the end :O

[@brianbrooking496]

Nice story….. what was name of the company that do the tour? As I have seen these Tundra vehicles and does not really appeal to me….. looking at a ship tour in Svalbard - but this is something I am interested in..

[@antonjohansson8033]

fantastic videos you make

[@NYWildflower]

Wonderful video Dani! I think my favorite part was just listening to the sounds of nature all around you. You captured it beautifully! You've done quite a lot this winter so it's expected that you're feeling a bit burned out. Your walk through the rapids is a great cure for that! Thank you for showing us your beautiful Sweden!

[@JakeGriffithsPhotography]

Love your videos! Keep it up!

[@frednorman1]

Love the black grouse…

[@goranolsson914]

Yea its beautiful and its not only we people who dress us of a little even the many animals change to spring and summer

[@olafwiese6728]

Hello Dani, thank you very much for this very nice video. You really can't miss the short but fierce spring. I'd rather wait a few days longer for the next video. This is certainly not altruistic either. Because you will let us participate in this spectacle. Just like in this video. I wish you both an exciting time and many wonderful experiences. Very warm greetings from Germany

[@christianalgo5065]

Loved it! 💖

[@andreaschudzinski-buchholz4221]

A really nice new video Dani 😍, I hope spring 🌱will help you get your strength back, lovely greetings from Andreas and Balou 🦃 🐿 ❤️🕊

[@arieknops6616]

Really awesome video Dani. Hope we all come to a conclusion in Europe we have to safe all this nature, not only in a particular place but from east to west and north to south. Really enjoyable video. Love it💚

[@valdkynd]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing all of this beauty with us. 💚 I was lucky enough to film wild bunnies and their babies on our local meadow the other day and had to think of you and your work. You would have taken stunning pics of them for sure. I sadly lack the pro equipment, but am quite chuffed with the footage my little bridge camera was able to take. 🙂 Love your work and your channel!

[@howierfs5471]

Hi Dani, once again such nice video. I fully agree with your thoughts. Spring is the best time when first colours coming back and the wildflowers covers the ground in the woods, the tiny bushes get their first green leafes and than in days the forrest explode with new leafes. The first green of the forrests hurts my eyes. Nice to watch the birds talking to each other. In my garden I've provided wild bees cleaned appartements and they are very busy. One of my nest boxes has been rented out and such makes me feel good. Nice footage of the black grouces. Btw, the Dani styly pizza looked very yummy. CU

[@peter486]

Glad sommar, Dani

[@ingvartorma9789]

Hi Dani! You told me about your near burnout and lack of motivation. Tips for you but also your guy, then when you feel that way and you are natural people. Take and go out into nature far and take and pitch a tent by a river. Sit down and make a fire, enjoy the peace, listen to the water rushing by, listen to the birds. Breathe in the clean air. Enjoy all of this and you and your guy will feel better. When you sleep outside in nature up here, you will notice that you will sleep better and for a shorter time but still feel rested. Take the time to just be and enjoy that there are no obligations but enjoy the moment, and you and your guy will feel much better. Up here it's very common during the spring winter as it's called in Lapland, go out into the forest and just be, make a fire and enjoy just being, this creates calm for us and we don't get stressed and it's good to take it calmly When you live up here, you have to learn to relax and take it easy, because we up here don't stress unnecessarily, become a northerner. Up here in Lapland it's spring now and the sun doesn't set anymore until around July 20th.

[@DaniConnorWild]

That’s a great tip. My issue recently has been that every time I go to the forest, if I’m not taking photos or video, I feel I’m being unproductive and go home. But it should be somewhere I switch off. I like the idea of camping!

[@ingvartorma9789]

What you then have to tell yourself is that you are not unproductive just because you are not constantly taking pictures, but you just want to enjoy the moment. If the thought should still appear, think about something else or talk about something completely different with your guy, so the thoughts go away. Sit down, take deep breaths through your nose and let the air out through your mouth and smell the fresh air. Camping is wonderful, I myself have slept by the riverside under the open sky and without a tent. What you and your boyfriend will notice is that everything tastes better in the forest.

[@johnsnoopyhenson545]

Dani!! Love the video!! Keep on showing us these special views of nature!! When will your calendars for next year be on sale? I want to get several! Always love the squirrels videos too!!

[@DaniConnorWild]

Hi John, hoping to sort calendars out soon. Not sure whether to sell from Europe or UK. Would be easier in Sweden but it’s so much cheaper for me and the customer in UK

[@johnsnoopyhenson545]

@@DaniConnorWild I’m in the USA and if you do two different calendars I’m going to get two of both. Thanks ;)

[@Daytona2]

Just stumbled upon the study about the reintroduction of Pine Martins increasing the red squirrel population. It sounds intriguing - Is there any update to it do you know ?

[@BerishStarr]

Heard on the radio today that the water level of Torne Älv is about 5 meters higher than normal, and in general there is a lot of water coming down from the mountains this spring 😁

[@reubenpelham5735]

Very nice video, good work!

[@MorganHJackson]

Coming from subtropical Australia, 4 hours of almost dark is wild. It's cold here and the sun sets at 5.30, it's depressing haha

[@griechland]

There is of course the flipside in northern Sweden during the winter when the sun never rises over the horizon for a month depending on how far north you live. My father used to tell stories about a tradition in Kiruna where people gather outside in early january to catch the first glimpse of the sun as it peeks over the horison for roughly 20 minutes.

[@MorganHJackson]

@@griechland that sounds very depressing haha
