Dani, for someone so young, you have found your place in this world and this fills me with Joy. I've got all the gear and then some (I like to build RC camera stuff) You are a very real inspiration, I hope children, mothers and farthers are watching this. To your viewers who think photography/videography is financially out of reach the Pentax K-r will knock your socks off. Considered outdated, the camera and lenses are very affordable and will give a budding photo genius a cracking head start.

[@tonym480]

I agree with everything you say Paul, both about Dani and that you don't need expensive equipment to be a photographer. It's nice to be able to afford all the latest shiny gear, but at the end of the day it's what you do with it.

[@kevinrickey3925]

I really liked you comment and your advice. Take care Paul.. I wish all of us the best during these times.

[@tsilveira5866]

What can I say, I never tire of watching these beautiful creatures.

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

Don't feel too bad about being outsmarted by squrrels - Mark Rober built an entire obstacle course for those little buggers.

[@LilliSkog]

😍Your videos and squirrels are honestly THE best medicine for a bad day - thank you for sharing these glimpses

[@M-MMo]

So wonderful to watch those normally very shy creatures coming so close to you. They recognize you and they know that you love them!

[@Grandpa-Chris]

I’m not sure if there is a more beautiful lady on KZbin than Dani Connor , an utterly captivating and gentle personality , Dani your work with the Squirrels is enchanting… thank you for filling my evening’s with such relaxing and enjoyable viewing. C

[@annetteu.7226]

Your videos always make me happy 🥰

[@nicolasnegri1846]

They’re so cute 🐿🐿🐿🐿

[@shirleyboy8859]

Wonderful, Peace and Tranquillity..... With a few Squirrels for extra Cuteness...... Have you had any other requests for Squirrel sound bites since you hit the Big time?? :-))) xx

You are the nr1 squirreltalker 🥰

[@marsupialdungbucket]

Thanks for another wonderfully cheering video. If you're looking for a good, small woodburner for the front room, look no further than the Morso Squirrel. I just looked it up and was amazed to find that they still make them. I bought one 40 years ago when I lived on a bus and every day, after a day climbing and walking in the rain in Scotland it would turn the bus into a sauna in about 10 minutes. When I moved into a house it came with me and heated the whole (small) house for years. About 10 years ago I gave it to a friend in need and have missed it every winter since. And yes, it has squirrels on the sides. 🙂

[@littleoneadventures]

The footage you capture of the squirrels is just so amazing! They are so funny and sweet.

[@englishexplorer5985]

So lovely there's a family of squirrels in the copse by my house back and front and I allways keep my eyes open for them when I come back from work I'll sit in my car watching sometimes I get lucky and see one or sometimes several.

[@SevenStanesMBT]

Few pleasures can match the joy of making a simple bond with a wild animal. However fleeting :)

[@danielberma]

"For a week" - yes that is Swedish summer!

[@sueg2658]

I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Ghost. Re mushroom/fungi identification there are quite a few apps that will help, you just take a pic. Excellent video. Thank you. Enjoy.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Thats beautiful to see 😲😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 Thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@МішаСошка]

видео изумитильне супер

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Sorry to hear about Ghost. He was quite a character. I know some other dogs who love blueberries. I also read that they are very good for dogs health. Dog knows best.

[@carmmk6630]

🍃Dani sorry to hear about Ghost she was a beautiful unique squirrel it is always hard when a wild friend moves on. The two little squirrels you rescued certainly wanted to reconnect with you how delightful. Your videos are so welcoming and a pleasure to watch due to you telling a story which makes them engaging. Keep shining! 🤗🍃

[@dahemac]

Your photography is exceptionally good. 👍🏽 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Joe-B1]

So glad you uploaded this in 4K

[@5555filly]

There are many good books on mushrooms get a few for your area. I triple reference before eating and stick to ones i identify certainly. Some of the ones i see in this video could be boletes. Nice to see our squirrel friends💕

[@erikjohansson4390]

Amazing channel! Glad i found this, looking forrward to see more of the house 🤠😇

[@Horsemanguy]

So lovely animals indeeeed

[@ChloeRoseHarrison]

I am so sorry to hear about Ghost... I can only imagine how that must have felt after forging such a bond. But also how wonderful that the new squirrels occupying the territory may be the babies! A perfect showing of the cycle of life and death. Albeit, I wish humans did nt have such an influence on the death side of things.

[@АндрейИльичев-е8у]

ДАНИ, СПАСИБО ТЕБЕ, ЧТО ТЫ ЕСТЬ

[@Harald787]

I think I have seen all you squirrel videos here on YT and I am still amazed how they behave arround you. It must be a fantastic feeling every time you meet them. Thanks for sharing here.

[@alunjones2550]

I used to be a gliding instructor and at certain times of the year we could see the rings of mushrooms on the airfield. We'd land next to them and collect them in the sick bags that we kept in the aircraft.😃

[@thewhitetiger3430]

I love your way of life, wildland, wildlife... that's life!

[@karex99]

Dani: there is a book called Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and Europe by Edmund Garnweidner. I have one of his older books is Swedish called Svampar, published by Bonniers. You might want to check him out. My book has very detailed descriptions on what is edible, what is poisonous and what can be eaten but does not taste good, where certains mushrooms grow, etc. The old book I have is specific to Sweden.

[@dmitriygalaganov8238]

Aaa, it's so cute ))) Thank you 🥰❤

[@ESPattenden]

Beautiful mushroom specimens. So nice to see the squirrels being so squirrely 😊

[@777pusher]

I can do this with birds. Life is spectacular when appreciated!!

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

The best way to learn how to identify mushrooms is to go out with someone who already knows. Books are great, but experience is better. If you do go for a book, make sure it’s one that shows the stages of growth, plus what they look like when cut in half as it helps to work out which ones are safe, and which ones are safe to have when you’ve have some alcohol

[@tuijaruotsalainen7840]

Very nice video, thank you

[@davepollock9362]

Thank You for the laughs, it was so funny that it brought tears to my eyes.

[@johnchecketts1732]

Morning Danni love your brilliant videos on wildlife keep up all the good work take care of yourself

[@j.kimmer1509]

Just wonderful.

[@haraldirmler-foto]

Hallo Dani, your video was very nice.

[@pattieh5118]

I to am very sad about ghost. I’m very excited to see her youngings grown up. Looking forward to more videos of them.

[@PinfoldPhotographic]

A wonderful video! I also laughed out loud at the squirrels trying to stay on the tiny tree 😂

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Hi Dani thanks for sharing these delightful creatures who can out smarten any other squirrels around including Greys who are the bully Boys of the Squirrel Kingdom.

[@ingvartorma9789]

Squirrels are very smart individuals and adept at solving problems. Saw this year an American program about squirrels, where they studied the squirrels' wits to think and solve problems. The American guy built a long course that the squirrels would walk before they were finally rewarded with food.. A squirrel walked the long obstacle course to get to the food, but it only did it once, already times after that the squirrel had figured out how it could crawl on the track to get to the food faster. However the guy made new paths to reach the food which they did only once then solved the ptoblerm to bother and quickly reach the goal.

[@the_hazel_nut]

The trust they have in you is outstanding! Lovely video, Dani. Thank you.

[@hilaryledingham2906]

Hi Dani, I'm so hoping that it wasn't Ghost on the road, it breaks my heart thinking about it. I have a black squirrel who has visited me for three to four years in my current location. She will take food from my hand . Once she disappeared for a while, and naturally I thought the worst. But she came back one day up on my kitchen window box. She stood on her hind legs amongst the flowers and I saw her protruding nipples. Yay! she had had babies. That's why I hadn't seen her. When I open my front door all squirrels dash away, but not Lily. That's how I always know it's her, besides obvious physical traits such as her shortened tail with a white streak and only three digits on her left front paw. God bless little Ghost. I hope she's at peace. ♥

[@magictrifle]

🐿️♥️

[@kelvinsmallwood6315]

Thks Dani for sharing another video with us. Those squirrels are fascinating to watch. It is obvious that you are no threat to them as they come right up to you.

[@skjelm6363]

Love that camerawork and Postpro, love the squirrels and love the Landscape... Thank you for encouraging me with your example, that one day I can make it out there, too!

[@pdxyadayada]

Keep on building your life. I love your passion, talent, and the fruits of your labor. Cheers to ya..

[@matthiasjakob1931]

So much Fun to watch, Heartwarming. Keep going, Dani. Be blessed.

[@jv7070ful]

Very beautiful video.The way the squirrels look at you and come so close by is only because they trust you.

[@eichhornchenaufdembalkon5345]

Many thanks for a new briliant video of my favorite animals 🐿❤👏👍

[@MrCaprinut]

Hurrah, the girl with the relaxing voice is back! 🙂 Love the squirrels! I moved a year ago to the countryside in Norway, and I think I've only seen 2 or 3 squirrels so far even that I'm surrounded with threes in about every directions. Looking forward to the next episode 🙂

[@NOMADCREATIVESOLUTIONS]

Thanks for the views of baby reds, utterly beautiful intelligent creatures

[@berry42069]

What a beautiful video. Your journey with these squirrels is truly a joy to behold.

[@jabberwocky9968]

For getting more into mushrooms I would recommend getting in touch with a local expert, if available. Often, people who live nearby the woods and nature grow up learning about mushrooms and other foraging items from their grandparents and parents. Also, professional mycologists can usually be contacted via a hotline or sometimes have regular dates at the local pharmacy or perhaps even doctor's, where you can go with the mushrooms you picked for identification. Make sure to always bring every part of the mushroom you need to have identified. The stem is equally as important as the cap for identification. Maybe, if you ask the locals, you might get lucky and hear about guided tours accompanied by experts in foraging that you could take.

[@gregs2466]

I do love your squirrels and the way you interact with them so well.

[@bonilsson3161]

If you can wait until next late spring or so maybe I can give you some mushroom guide books. My dad used to do workshops/ classes about mushroom foraging, I got a huge bunch of his books when he passed away last year and since I am quite interested I already had a lot of them so now I have several in duplicates and triplicates. I am planning to drive up to Jokkmokk, Gällivare and into the national parks in the mountains next late spring (end of april or may) so I will drive by Skellefteå. Maybe we can meet at some place and I can give you some. I could ship a few to you if you want but I am still sorting through them but definitely possible. I will be happy if the books come to someone interested and I love to see your videos !

[@bonilsson3161]

Most of the books are in swedish but I have several in english, just dont yet know if I have english written ones in duplicates, will check.

[@adamwoodhouse5356]

amazing!

[@KGsPhotography]

Hi Dani, was great to meet you at the photography show recently. I have an app on my phone called “seek”, it identifies mammals, birds, plants and possibly mushrooms when you scan them with the app. Beautiful video thanks for sharing, regards Keith

[@andreaschudzinski-buchholz4221]

Thank you so much for that wonderful new video Dani, you capture such a beautiful atmosphere with your Camera that I feel at home in your squirrel forest 🍁🍂 🐿 ❤️

[@eyeam19able]

Great videos Dani. I subscribe and watch a large variety of content, but I like yours especially. It's wholesome, interesting, and high quality.

[@snugglesjuggler]

The hedgehog mushroom (Hydnum repandum) cannot be easily mixed up with other mushrooms. The meat is thick and dense with a peppery taste.

[@HowieBaldman]

So nice to see and follow you :) im impressed.

[@nawar9261]

I love your Videos .. Greetings from Syria

[@runfridr]

Lilla svampboken is the best East befinner friendly bok för swedish muschroom :D I learnt from that one.

[@matthewcunningham8691]

Dani your videos are so brilliant, thank you 🙂

[@crazyshortguy2200]

My heart, so wholesome! 😭🌅 Also the bit of the jumping pad made me chuckle out loud, amazing 🤣

[@kathrinzettel5638]

I will have a look, what I inherited ftom my father. There might be some books about mushrooms. As a child I passed about 14 summers in Finland. But also in Germany where I come from we where picking lots of mushrooms every year. My father and my grandfather where very sure at choosing the right ones which are the most tasty and edible - which is very important !! Easy to recognise are chanterelles, porchini mushrooms, birch mushrooms, redcaps and anice mushrooms. I most loved mutabilis. They are little compared with other mushrooms. But you might need a good book to distinguish them. And when you collect anice mushrooms you have to be shure about not picking up a death cap mushroom which is also a white lamella mushroom but poisonous.

[@jameshamilton6863]

“You didn’t find us,Newmama,we found you!” RIP , loyal and photogenic Ghost.

[@laurelb8372]

Love your videos Dani. Alison Pouloit has a wealth of knowledge on the fascinating mushroom world. She is from Australia but goes to Europe quite often.

[@howierfs5471]

Dani, seems my thoughts, my wishes coming closer: you feeding your "relatives" by hand when they are relaxed sitting on your shoulders or leggs. Guess they feel safe already and than their flow of adrenalin will not be that much anymore. I think your fur nose is a gourmet and of course we do everything for our best animal friends. Well, having an own house its forcing you to jump into any kind of craftsmen work which makes you stronger to compete with all other kind of issues of life as well. Stay safe, stay healthy CU

[@Rob.1340]

👍📷😎

[@adama8570]

Dani, thanks so much for all your lovely work! We are an anglo/swedish family living in northern part of "Östergötland" and you have inspired us to get some quite good shots of squirrels in our garden with a new squirrel feeder, similar to the ones you use!

[@wildlifeexpedition9720]

I being watching your videos for while and always get amazed with them. I wish one day I be able to make good videos like yours.

[@jozsefkuti9974]

🥰

[@lenaljungholm2258]

You are amazing!! Wonderful to see people dare to learn. It is so nice to be able. Regarding mushrooms mabe Elle Nikishkova can be the one to give you inspiration.

[@datalasse]

Thanks for your great and amazing videos. They are a great way to relax after a hard day of work.

[@leifa.lindholm4480]

So calm, so cute, so nice. I enjoy Danis videos. My best relaxation. And the fotage is great. Very talented. Keep it up Dani! You are good!

[@777pusher]

She is otherworldly

[@pjw3438]

cute

[@Viclief]

So nice that you have the patience and fun to sit so peacefully with them

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

Absolutely wonderful Dani. Following from the start of the squirrel adventures and before, I was wondering if you could somehow meet up with the little ones again. They just have to be, why would a squirrel be so trusting like that so soon. Fabulous to follow as always. Keep loving the life

[@AndrewSRapp]

It would be so fun to see these little ones with some big giant walnuts. Would they know what do do with them? On a side note, the little gray I raised from 3 weeks old finally had a baby survive on her second attempt. Her motherly instincts finally took over.

A beautiful,heartwarming video,so much fun to watch the squirrels,it’s amazing seeing how comfortable the squirrels are being close to you and watching their antics it must be so rewarding for you making these fantastic videos thanks for sharing them ❤take care and stay safe ❤❤

[@opheliase7473]

I loved watching the progress you’ve made with your lovely home. As soon as I saw you tackling the wallpapering alone I kept muttering how brave you were. In my experience that’s been one of the most miserable tasks I’ve taken on, so you have my respect. And the return of the squirrels, which I’m convinced are in fact two of the babies come back (🙄). I think I recall Baby Pear had longer ear tufts, while Cheburaska had larger eyes, so I’m pretending to identify who’s who. I was openly laughing at their cheeky cleverness at getting to the food and thwarting your plans. Excellent example of getting unexpected results, though still great. So glad that things seem to be going well, and am excited for both the home tour and the edit of Baby Pear’s footage. Take care 💜

[@laurelb8372]

Alison has a few videos on identifying fungi, on you tube

[@henrikmorth7468]

Mushrooms! As you know, mushrooms can be very dangerous. I would recommend that you find someone , up where you live, that can guide you through the world of mushrooms. I would never ever trust a book, you tube etc, is too dangerous. It’s so easy to mix them up. A tip is to start picking "easy" mushrooms as the yellow chanterelle. BUT before you start, find someone that can guide you. 🙂

[@LoudnessJP]

There's apps that identify mushrooms with your phone's camera. Try that. Otherwise there's good books for identifying mushrooms for certain areas.

[@bob1598]

I live in Northern Virginia, NOVA. The grey squirrel dominates. I usually have a handful of nuts, but they always want more! I've seen grey squirrels eating mushrooms. I've heard the grey squirrel can even eat poison mushrooms! I've seen them eating fermented pumpkins. Nothing is more pathetic than an inebriated squirrel.
