[@Philsphotos988]

Another great video Simon and good to meet John. Been to his channel and subscribed and he has some impressive images. Look forward to the next "Trap-off" between you both. 👍

[@simoneardley]

Cheers Phil, hes captured some great images📷👍

[@michaelwallwork7482]

Yeah! What a partnership! 2 top guys, from my era 👍. Should be a great vlog. I'll watch it, when I get back from supermarket shopping 👍

[@Rob.1340]

Thanks Simon, not tried camera trapping, will have to do some research. Enjoyed your film as always. All the best. 👍📷😎

[@AndiusTeijgeler]

Nice video! I love the work of John and follow him for a longer period already. An important factor, next to getting everything to work, is to find a spot where the animals come regularly in a nice setting. Backgrounds should be clean and foreground preferably also.

Top guy John, stunning trap work he does, think you got lucky Simon....😂😂

[@littlemike50]

That was different. Nice one. I found it funny you with all your waterproof cold weather gear on and John in a jumper. Lol. You're going to have to harden up Simon. Lol😂. It can get tough in them hill's. But on a serious note, Nice bit of entertaining video. All the best, Mike E...

What a surprise! I've been following you both for a while and I didn't expect to see you together. What a surprise! I loved seeing you both side by side. Congratulations! Greetings from Spain.😊😊

I did enjoy the video with you and John. Gives me something to think about doing this winter. There was a skim of ice on our birdbaths this morning and with a bit of wind it felt a lot colder than that. But no snow yet. Thanks for another entertaining and informative program, Simon.

[@waynestreet4519]

An absolute joy to watch 👏👏. Loved it, and picked up a few hints and tips too - cheers for that. I've subscribed to Johns site too.

[@simoneardley]

Thanks Wayne, he'll appreciate that 👍

[@brianlaunchbury4491]

Fascinating video, thanks. Looking forward to the next competition. Just a point though, are these actually "selfies"? 🤣

[@mongoose9594]

Found John’s channel a while ago, what a really nice gentleman and so very skilled at what he does. The results he gets (and the patience he shows) are exceptional. Super glad you’ve got together, should be very productive for the two of you 👍. PS, The weather must be a bit sharp, the Welshman John had to put his big jumper on, brilliant!!!😂

[@satcat]

Followed John for a long time.. an he as helped me no end..i,m now starting to get a few results at last.. see you again soon Simon, cheers Den

[@michaelsaltsman7550]

[@briancox4339]

[@jamesbarnes3063]

Thanks for the tutorial, enjoyed the video

[@vincentspratling365]

Hi Simon. Your calendar arrived the other day superb shots.

[@StephenBrooks-e9m]

I’m hooked now, I’m going to have to get into camera trapping

[@briankirkup]

Hi Simon you and John make a good team. Brilliant video enjoyed it. Take care. B. K

[@Gazzab6]

Congratulations on your win Simon, the pupil trumps the teacher 😉. May be down to home advantage, is the rematch on John’s patch? 😂

[@royparkes6182]

🤔……I think you got blagged on this one John……….definately local knowledge was the deciding factor😂 - those images from Johns previous work were amazing, definately a wonderful way of getting up close but the trouble with trail cam work is that you really need ‘permissions’ to minimise the risk of loosing expensive gear. Looking forward to round 2 - maybe next time John spends a couple of hours scoping out the 3 acres & has first pick afterwards👍🤛

Good luck sending it to Canada 🇨🇦! We's on strike! Gonna be the nail in the coffin ⚰ for Canada Post 📫! Hubby's cuz sends a Heritage Castles of Scotland calendar Foundation, very nice, she's in Carradale, I've been 3 times, amazing place, gonna look better with native trees though, my daughter's off to Bali for Xmas with him and his family, gotta stop in London first, nice weather, no wonder Bali looks good! You 2 make a grand couple, very down to earth, my daughter's a biologist and my son's an arborist, great vid thanks, Josée (Josie)...

[@joseenoel8093]

Ah the grey squirrel, they're yanks, Chuck's favorite, r u aware of P'Nuts past plight? They're numerous here, couldn't make it in deep woods (Montreal's an island) the Cdn chipmunk is a ground squirrel which hinernates, yank's not too bright, his nest is high in a tree and the Quebec winter wind does blow! They don't carry rabies though and our racoons are immumized against, have a nice week!

[@simoneardley]

Thanks for watching and welcome along 😀

[@billpinnell9495]

Great video, keep the partnership going

[@19Photographer76]

So Simon, get ahead of the curve and start making digital calendars/apps. When the month changes, your image (screensaver) will change. It will link to an interactive date calendar. No shipping is required!
