Thanks very much guys and thanks for the coffee, always appreciate it 👍🏻

[@dalemews1]

Such an important message. And all credit to you for revealing your diagnosis Pops. I urge all of your male viewers, If you are going to the toilet more frequently than normal get your PSA levels checked. It may simply be an enlarged prostate. In most cases it is, but if it is cancer the sooner it's caught the better. All the best Pops, I know you'll be in good hands.

[@stuartwillis]

Many thanks for your kind words, I was more than happy in revealing my diagnosis if it encourages any of Daniels subscribers to get their PSA levels checked. As I said I had no symptoms (not even going to the toilet more often) just very lucky it was picked up during my annual checkup. Pops

[@danwillis_photography]

Very wise words and a really appreciated comment Dale, thanks very much. All the very best 👍🏻

[@dalemews1]

No probs Dan. I'm sure Pops will be back out capturing more wonderful images before you know it!

Great video Dan, it definitely helps when the wildlife are accustomed to humans, even if the humans walk in front of the lens. The full frontal Cormorant was absolutely wonderful, the eyes were like precious stones, and some superb Heron footage, great to have a camera on loan. Wish Pops the best of luck with his upcoming procedure, he'll be fighting fit in no time, just sitting watching Bullies Siskins Redpoll and a lone Brambling still hanging around the feeders, all the best Derek 👍

The cormorants are in breeding plumage Dan. The white collar & bright green eye is a signifier of this. Another excellent vlog from you two great guys again, & as you know I was privy to Pops’ ‘news’ prior to him announcing it here - but… Well done Stuart, good on you for facing up to it head on; & not only that, but big respect & a huge well done for spreading the word on the importance of getting yourself checked! I don’t want it to become the main focus of my comments on your wonderful videography & photography skills, but from my own life experiences I know where you guys are coming from & what’s still to come. Reddish Vale looks a great little venue (if a little busy); & you captured some great stuff. Keep on keeping on guys! All the best, Nick

Found your channel a week ago - immediately subscribed. I don't know an ISO from my a**hole - strictly point and click is me - but I do know someone who is enthusiastic about nature and helping others develop their own skills when I see them. Your videos are both beautiful and fun to watch. I'm making it my hobby to see as many mammals as I can (UK on the list for next year I hope) so your tips on setting up for photography are also excellent for maximising chances of seeing wildlife. My best wishes and prayers for Pops to recover quickly and be back giving you some stick, Dan! 😁

[@danwillis_photography]

Thank you very much Warren I really enjoyed reading your comment and appreciate the sub. I think you are about to embark on a wonderful journey with your new hobby, photography has given me opportunities to see so many different animals in the UK and for me the photographs are just the bonuses of that. We have some truly amazing wildlife which is often overlooked. All the very best 👍🏻

[@SwanSycorax]

Great video Dan, really enjoyed this. Firstly, very best wishes to Pops for the treatment and hope all goes well. Great photos of the heron with the frog. We regularly get a heron visiting our garden ponds and i have seen it grab a frog from time to tilke and fly off with it but never managed to photograph that particular situation, however, just a few days ago I did photograph a heron with one of our fish and took a sequence of close ups as it juggled the fish before it was swallowed. I too bought a Z180-600 just a few weeks ago. I had a Z 100-400 which had served me well for the past two years but I was frustrated by the lack of reach needed for locations such as Pulborough Brooks. I tried a borrowed 180-600 and carried out back to back tests against the 100-400 with the 1.4xTC and, despite not being an S-Line lens, the 180-600 was noticeably better than the 100-400 set-up so I had to do it. I think this is possibly the best performing and value for money lens in Nikon's whole Z range.

[@stuartwillis]

Many thanks. Pops

[@danwillis_photography]

Thanks very much Brian, I always appreciate your comments and support. I must admit having used the 180-600 over a couple of weeks I think it’s a tremendous lens and at the price point is sure to become a huge asset to many people. Its versatility, focus speed and sharpness make it a fantastic tool. All the very best 👍🏻
