Loved the video Darren. The little deer 🦌 looking back was lovely and the pop up makes a perfect changing room, ideal. Take care and stay safe.

Morning Steve, I was a lovely sight to watch on play back, I’m just gutted I missed a still of it. Take care bud and I hope you enjoy your weekend 🍺

Great video Darren. When I'm on youtube I always think, I'll take a look to see what Darren has posted. I love your enthusiasm as someone who is fairly new to wildlife photography. I have been photographing wildlife for many years but I am not by any means, an expert. I still have to google to see what I have photographed when I get home. I have recently moved from Canon to Sony and I am very happy with the results. Thanks again for making my weekend.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Morning Andy, Thanks for the lovely comment and I’m pleased you enjoyed the video. I’ve always enjoyed wildlife but trying to identify different species is a huge learning curve, especially birds who look completely different when they have their fledgling coats. It’s also made me appreciate my local area as it’s never really inspired me for landscape photography. 2020 has been sucky, but at least there has been some real positives Take care bud and I hope you enjoy the forthcoming weekend 🍺

[@AndyBeattieUK]

Great video Darren, the fawn is first seen at 5:50 (its ears are by her fore leg) it's why she was bobbing her head, to get the fawn to stay down in the grass until she's certain you're not a threat. If you were, she'd have bolted and left the fawn hidden.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Morning Andy, Upon play back, I noticed the kids ears in the long grass as well. It just goes to show how good their camouflage is. Slightly gutted I missed the photograph but it was still pretty cool to get them on camera. Have a great weekend bud and I hope you’re well 👍

You have been framed Darren. Apart from that great video and cracking images the deer and the horse. thank you for sharing and take care no more paddling .

[@kathleenhickey7793]

You had quite an adventure! Your enthusiasm is infectious. I loved the video of the deer and the horses. Your deer are different from ours. Been there on the falling and the wet. I used to be a trail runner, so I’ve picked up mud and left blood all over the place. You got some wonderful shots. I’ll look forward to more.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Wow, you sound quite the adventurer yourself Kathleen. 👍 I’d love to hike (not run) the UK’s coast to coast trail. One day 😉

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Loved it Darren, thanks so much for sharing,I hate to admit but I had a chuckle when you "fell in" awesome images too!

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Cheers Jon, The weather in the UK has taken a dip since this video was shot and so I’m glad I fell in at around 20 degrees and not 10 degrees like now 🥶 Take it easy bud 👍

Ah the head bob, it's 'mind your footing there's a bog over there near that rabbit!' What an enjoyable watch with great images, lifted my day.

No clue needed Malcolm, I was at Roydon Common. I was over there today and it was blowing a gale, plus the Heather is really fading now. I’m pleased you enjoyed the the video and we’re recording another Pubcast this Thursday and so we should be back up and running on Saturday. Take care bud 🍺

[@peterblackthorne1262]

Once again you have me whispering after watching your wildlife videos. Your enthusiasm for wildlife photography is contagious. I think I'm going to try doing more of it in the future. I've done a little in the past but I'm not very good at it. However, the real fun is in just getting out and experimenting with something new. I also really like your portable hide I'm going to have to look into getting one. Thanks again for sharing and go get something warm to drink while you dry out☕️☕️🥃?

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Morning Pete, For me, wildlife has been a real blessing during the last 6 months. It’s taken me to places that I wouldn’t have visited more than once for landscape photography. Plus it’s something that can be done anywhere. A park, a back garden, local river. Good luck with it Peter and I’m sure you won’t regret pursuing it. Take care mate and have a great weekend 🍺

[@stephendarlington]

Good stuff Darren. Always a special moment when you see wild deer, more so when they are happy to stay around even once they have seen you. I am not sure I have seen you smile so much on a vlog. I am fortunate to live 5 minutes walk to a deer park - still a challenge to get decent photos, but at least I know that there are 300+ deer around even though sometimes they can seemingly disappear completely. The falling in was comedy gold. So glad you were filming at the time. At least all the equipment was saved. Last time I fell in somewhere, I went face-first complete with camera. Fortunately no one was around to see or film. Keep up the great vlogs

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Morning Stephen, There’s a deer park in Norfolk that I going to visit in the next few weeks purely because of the rutting season, but if I can photograph them in the wild i will. I’m so pleased I packed my main camera away, because most of the time I carry it over my shoulder on the tripod or on the strap. That would have been a nightmare Thanks for watching and Happy shooting bud 🍺

[@JamesRBurnsVLOG]

Really well put together that matey. A good story of ups and downs and humour. Great character . That shot at 20:05 with the white pony.... very nice. 👍👍

@@DarrenKnightPhoto I did feel for you mate when you went in & I'm sure we've all done the same thing one time or another but it's how you worked the camera at that exact point Darren 😂 so perfect 👏

[@ianspicer1529]

Fantastic and hugely entertaining video Darren; what a fabulous moment to capture! Like most wild animals, deer will spot movement very quickly; it's a very typical roe-deer trick to watch you intently for some time and then drop their heads to feint going back to browsing only to snap them back up directly at you, hoping that you'll make a mistake and move. The doe was also obviously being bothered by flies, again common in summer. You obviously had the wind with you as she didn't seem unnerved by human scent......and I'm sure there was quite a lot of 'scent' in the car on the way home after falling in the ditch! :-) Great stuff!

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Ian, The whole of Cambridgeshire could smell my scent 😂 On a serious note, that was a great comment . very interesting and informative. Cheers bud and I hope you’re not going to be affected by storm Alex today. Stay safe bud 👋

Enjoyed that one as always Darren. Clearly you are taking to wildlife photography and it suits you well. Lovely shots of the deer in beautiful light. Where I live, the deer are more of a nuisance as the come out of the hills and feast on everything in our garden. Despite that, they are still fun to observe. Ugh, I hate wet feet! Cheers mate. 👍

It made me smile when you were showing the B roll of the hide The Lens poking out of the front & all I could think of was exterminate, exterminate! A camo Dalek but when you went into the bog I was pissing myself. Great comedy & I was impressed that you could laugh at the situation because when most of us do it, the air usually turns blue. Love the images & probably one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while.

Then I’m guessing your a man of a similar age? Only someone of 50+ would remember the darleks. I’d be safe, there’s no way they would get across the drain......they couldn’t even go upstairs 😂 🍺🍺

That was bloody hilarious mate!! Not only do we have Norman Wisdom on the Pubcast we know have Frank Spencer...brilliant! Back to the photography, those deer shots were lovely.

The golden rule of landscape/wildlife photography, always have dry socks and shoes in the car because falling in is inevitable. Its a novelty when you don't.

Looks like a perfect clearing to guarantee getting wildlife shots of something every time you go. Still, you had fun :-)
