That place looks quality! Awesome Kestrel footage and photos 👍

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Cheers dude!! great place well worth a visit!

[@NaturallyCuriousUK]

You made yourself available to luck and luck showed up. Stoat was a cracking bonus, but the highlight for me was the locked-off footage of the hovering kestrel showing how still the head remains. Something I've been after getting for a while. So far without success. Have a lovely Christmas buddy. 👍🎄👍

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Cheers Si !!!! Twas a good day buddy, you would be more than welcome to come for a day there any time buddy....

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Well I tell you what JP, that was a cracking film. Loved that - so many birds to see and film, especially loved the Barn Owl shots at the end but it was just great throughout. Lost count of the Birds of Prey!!!! Amazing Certainly a place that will go to the top of the list to visit. Excellent watch. Cheers for posting mate. 👍👍👍👍👍 Dave H

Great video buddy as always. Have a great Christmas and New year.

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Cheers buddy! And to you and yours too 😉👍

[@maryanketell7232]

Brilliant video! We chatted to you both when you were sitting on the bench before the owls appeared. We were just about to leave when we saw the SEOs from the car park and then had brilliant views of two Barn Owls from the car from the entrance track. Great ending to the day.

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

AH! Hello!!!! Yeah we saw you stop and got a few shots! Lovely to meet you both and thank you for your kind words Mary! I wish you and your husband a very merry christmas and we may see you over there again 😉😊.... JP

[@IanPhillipsWildlife]

Wonderful stuff mate!

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Cheers buddy, happy new year to you!

[@nickswildlifefootage9392]

Another fantastic vid buddy . Elmley is one of my favourites . Fantastic that the short eared owls have arrived there again. Any luck with the little owls. They can be quite hard to spot in that old brick building

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Someone got over the fence and trew things at them to get them to come out apparently 😡 tossers 😡 .... One of my fave places too they have all the good stuff there eh!

[@frankierobertson6060]

what an awesome video this was, it's always amazing to see so many birds of prey like that, especially the owls, my mum would enjoy seeing this video, i'm really impressed by all the footage you took, i hope to see you tomorrow if not later, see you next time JP, until then ciao

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Thanks for watching and your kind comments Frankie, yeah we shall catch up soon buddy!!!

[@KGsPhotography]

Kestrel, Shortie and a Barn Owl, happy days JP. Great video and especially like the close up of the Kestrel. Just amazing the way they hold their heads so still whilst hovering. Cheers Keith

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Fantastic isn’t it, such a fantastic bird 👌❤️…. Cheers buddy, appreciate it as always….. JP

[@CamillaI]

What a great reserve JP, love the Kestrel shots so close Awesome 👍😍

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

[@hedgecomber]

Wow, amazing shots buddy! And seeing a kestrel hovering so close up was awesome 🥰

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Aww thanks treacle !! Really appreciate it ❤️ x

[@joelhollandphotography]

Great video and insight in to Elmley. I’m thinking of getting the year membership; do you think it’s worthwhile? Is it the sort of place you could visit a few times a month?

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Hi and thanks for watching and the kind comment! I’d say yes, it’s a huge expanse of land (there is a downloadable map on their site ) and a lot of walking there are lots of different birds to see and the owls, raptors and bearded tits ( see my bearded tit video that was there ) are reason enough with out the other wildlife imo, we tend to go a few times a year. However it looks like it’s now 6 pounds for a full day PP next year so it depends on just how many times you visit which will even the cost out, also they have “friends” events so the odd late evening early morning days etc especially for the friends of Elmley members…. So in short, if you go a few times a month then the membership is a deal especially if you are a couple 😉👍

[@joelhollandphotography]

Excellent - really appreciate the reply. I can’t believe just how many different birds you saw in your one video alone. It would be for my wife and I (plus our baby!), so seems like it’s worth a shot, especially when we’re local too. Thanks again!

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

@@joelhollandphotography It never fails to turn up something of interest! If you are local I would! it's a nice quiet place and everyone has birding and wildlife in common so most people there are great for a chat.... You are welcome 🙏 😉👍🏼.... JP
