Corr, time has flown since then. She is 6 weeks old already!

I was having trouble sleeping a couple of weeks ago and went for a cycle ride along Marriots Way at 04:00 in the morning. Much to my surprise I could hear an owl or two and saw a muntjac dear.

[@Leningrad_Underground]

Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you do. We all wish you well, now the wild life will be closer to home.

[@PeterGaunt]

Thanks Liam. I can never decide whether I like Carrion Crows or Magpies better. Lots of both around my part of north London. Congrats to you and your partner on your forthcoming offspring!

[@andrewwaddington7521]

Congratulations on impending fatherhood and in some of the best and most interesting wildlife videos available on you tube.

Congratulations on your great news, and hope the house move goes well! Your gull certainly looks good as a Caspian to me.

[@Mgh-r]

Lovely beautiful creatures thank u many appreciation ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Alan.92n]

Hi Liam, another great video, as always. Congrats again on impending fatherhood, and hope the house move goes well and not too stressful! Particularly liked the shots of the Jay, Caspian gull and the waxwings. Also didn't realise that there were so many types of duck. Yes, that heron did look grumpy! A great day filming a good variety of wildlife. 👍

[@philiptaylor7902]

Hi Liam, congratulations on your impending fatherhood and good luck with the move. Caspian Gull and Waxwings - that’s special.

Good luck with the move! Hoping you're new location well lead to even more wildlife adventures (and videos). ❤

[@kevinmarten292]

This was my childhood playground and where I became interested in British bird life. Population of some species have changed over the years. (Waxwings,Jays and magpies were a rare sight). I worked on the Bowthorpe estate before coming to Australia in 1977.

The geese are beautiful 😍

[@timroot4207]

Congratulations & Thank you !!!

[@FifthRobin]

Had a great walk recently where I saw several views of a kingfisher as we followed it down a lake and its colours were great. We also saw a Goldcrest for the first time, as well as Robins, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Moorhens, Squirrels, Goldfinch's and many more. It's impressive how much wildlife you find and the goose you found I had seen in the past, unsure what it was.

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Likewise, the carrion crow is my favourite corvid. I enjoy watching them & trying to figure out what they're up to.

[@tims9434]

Excellent video Liam. I went out on a hike the other day, didn't see too much wildlife but was treated to some mandarin ducks. I saw them in the same location last year so was really happy to see them there again.

[@roddymcniven8734]

All the best for you and your family Liam 🎉🎉

[@j.harbottle8928]

I've seen a white Egret in the stream that runs past my house in the winter, doing its funny leg stirring thing ! The Crows always give me enjoyment as they have such great personalities ! They and Jays tease foxes for instance , very clever animals I beleive

[@ElleDubya]

Congratulations, wishing you all the best! ❤

[@Artie1460]

Congratulations Liam and family. During Covid on my daily walk in Moston Manchester, I was treated to a show of a flock of lesser spotted wood peckers roughly 7 in a tree adjacent to old wooded land in a cemetery. I am not a bird watcher but was fascinated. I came home and looked the bird up. I was so surprised and amazed at seeing something so rare. During Covid there was no traffic and hardly any people, whether this made a difference I don’t know. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera or cell phone with me. But the memory is very precious. God has made a wonderful creation. I really enjoy your walks.

[@stnldvs]

I don’t mean to deliberately ruin your excitement, but lesser spotted woodpeckers are now a quite rare bird in the UK, and the main strongholds for the species are in the southeast. There possibly could be one or two pairs left in the Manchester area however if there is any, the locations are kept strictly private due to potential disturbance. I think it’s quite unlikely for 7 to be in one tree anywhere in the UK, even in their strongholds, as they are uncommon and do not typically flock.

[@Artie1460]

Thank you for your reply. You know more than me about wildlife and I appreciate your courteous reply. However I know what I observed. I must just put it under the heading ‘Stranger things can and do happen’.

[@kiwi_sodas]

Congratulations!!

[@Iceni_Paul]

Congratulations Liam, lovely video as always. I keep expecting to see you do a video in my locality, Dickleburgh Moor, we’ve got some interesting wildfowl here at the moment as the moor is flooded.

[@clarsach29]

Congratulations to you and your wife, that's great news. I had no idea that green woodpeckers didn't peck trees like other woodpeckers, so have certainly learned something new...they're not as common up here in Scotland but I will keep an eye out

[@barrieainge4937]

Great video Liam, you certainly packed in a lot of birds in your short walk, only wish I could get the same luck. Keep 'em coming and congrats on your upcoming parenthood.

[@Compo67]

You brighten up a grey day Liam 🌤️👍 ☺️ making the most of a soggy walk. Good to see your wellies are holding up and not out of their depth this time!😅 Wishing you all the best with fatherhood and house moving. Quite a massive step change for you. Exciting times ahead🙏🙂

Lovely video Liam Yea I like crows too shame they have a bad name generally I like it when they swoop and play on the wing you can tell they’re having fun they’re so clever Congratulations on your baby m8 Looking forward to your next video 🍻

[@shauncraffey3580]

Great vid as usual Liam and congratulations you will enjoy passing your knowledge on to your offspring 😊👍

[@mrsmith4662]

So interesting and informative.

[@williamrobinson7435]

My warmest congratulations on your forthcoming arrival Liam! Perhaps a factfile on storks would be appropriate.. I have noticed how changes in water levels can mix things up a bit, I've recently seen the non native Egyptian geese, which are v naughty and irrascible, coming away from the river and causing hilarious little problems in suburban gardens, which waxwings can also do. One lady I visited was SO keen to show me her winter garden, full of colourful berries, but the waxwings had got there first, so no berries at all.. All the best with the move. You'll be extra busy but v happy. Nice one Liam! ⭐👍

[@kendallkahl8725]

I found out recently that the preferred spawning habitat for Carp is flooded grass beds. A few days after the rain things must be flooded with carp fry and no doubt other cyprinids do the same. It allows them to escape big predatory fish but birds can get at them wherever they are.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

There goes my accent confusing people again, I said I am going to be a father, not that I am going in to farming. Baby is due in June so we are moving to a bigger house away from some of the stresses of the city :) Wildlife videos will definitely continue.

[@paulwarner5674]

Lol , Life will definitely be changing for you both. The trials of becoming a parent. Maternity units abs visits followed by Nurserys, schools, doctors, hospitals, shops and easy access to transportation. So you do the opposite and go rural😂😂😂. Once again a great video I love crows they are so intelligent. If it's a flood plain they will definitely build houses. I heard they found Golden Oriole in Cornwall Any info?

[@34outdoor]

i've enjoyed the trip, thanks for the video Liam you got so many video's out, i'm sure i can find something to watch when you are busy being a dad :) ATB
