Going through my own health issues ( Type 2 Diabetes) I also had a full check up recently, including a PSA test. Thankfully, all came back negative 😊 ( need to work on the Blood Sugar though😬) Glad to hear Pops is recovered. Anyone still reading? In your 50's? Go get a PSA test. Beat it before it starts

[@danwillis_photography]

All the very best with your health issues. Take care 👍🏻

I would like to say. Out of all your pics, the best is of you and pops. Its great to see the relationship you both have. In one video pops was resting on your shoulder looking up to you with pure love dan. Think was the mountain hare one. Reminds me of times of cuddles with my kids when they was little. Keep up the videos and making many more memories with pops. And the wife also you shares your trip's. All the best to you all

A very Happy Xmas to you and your family Dan (and of course the legendary Pops). It has been a tough year for my wife and I due to my wife’s cancer (thankfully now clear) but your videos have inspired me and kept me shooting (which has presented a release from some of the pressures). Onward and upward into 2025 and a wonderful trip to Svalbard to look forward to (otherwise we would have been very tempted by your Kenya trip). Hope to finally meet you in 2025. Keep on inspiring us and enjoy your Christmas Day. Clive

Wishing you and Pops a very Happy Christmas and a Joyous New year. I have really enjoyed all your great videos which have inspired me in my wildlife photography. It has been great "coming along for the journey"😁Super of Pops to relate his experience of having prostate cancer. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 12 years ago and breast cancer 6 years ago. I was lucky that both were caught early before they had both spread. The more we can get men to talk about cancer and get themselves checked the better 😬 looking forward to meeting you both in person in the Masai Mara in October and maybe I can persuade you both to grow a Movember in 2025 😬

[@danwillis_photography]

Thanks very much and I hope that you and yours have had an amazing Christmas. Glad to hear another positive story about cancer and the importance of talking about it. Can’t wait for the Masai trip and really looking forward to meeting you as well. All the very best for the new year 👍🏻

The exploits, the dramas (broken camera), the banter, the sheer exhilaration on your faces when your target species blows you away (both Dan & ‘Pops’ otter shots come to mind), the tips, advice & knowledge shared - it’s been entertaining for sure! Long may it continue & the followers keep on coming for you, the collaboration with Des Ong can only be a good thing, congratulations on that too! 🙌 If I wasn’t already arranging a 2026 Safari myself, I would definitely be up for joining you in the Masai Mara, but alas I’m committed. Our paths WILL cross at some stage & I look forward to that. All the very best Dan & Stu & the family, keep on keeping on! Best, Nick
