Simon thank you so much for sharing this beautiful beautiful wildlife! I live in Waco Texas USA and I am wheelchair bound so I can not get out to the beautiful wildlife places you get to. I really love your incredible videos and I always look forward to seeing them! Thanks so very much. Rob.

Great vid mate and stunning birds! So lucky to have them breeding so close to where you live. Cracking stuff, still on catchup with your vids 👍

What a brilliant video Simon, one of your best and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I could relate to it because it’s something similar to what I do when I’m not under my bag hide observing owls. Finding the first Common Redstart nest wasn’t a fluke in my opinion. Due to your knowledge, you heard one and then tuned in to its location. You made me laugh when you had that big grin on your face while admiring the scenery - you looked like a kid in a sweet shop 😂. The thermal monocular looks to be worth its weight in gold because to find a heat source in a log is an absolute game changer for wildlife photography. I’m the same as you when it comes to identifying Waders and Warblers. When I learn one, if I don’t see one regularly after that, it’s completely gone from my knowledge base. I have the same Manfrotto Fluid Head you have and I do find it heavy sometimes especially when having to do a bit of walking to get to a location. After doing a bit of research on the Komodo I noticed it is a lot lighter. I was wondering how you find the Komodo Fluid Head compared to your Manfrotto? I’ve lost my mojo recently for wildlife photography but his video has really inspired me to get back out there so a big thank you for that. All the best Si.

Simon, you're a treasure, thanks for sharing a little bit of the UK with the rest of the world! Cheers!

Beginners luck 😀that was your reward for climbing the hill on that bike which I thought was electric ! Gary Gough did a video "beginners guide to e bikes Cyrusher trax " might be worth a look for you!! Great location you have and fairplay you for reading the land so well !! great to see you using the thermal what a great piece of kit !! super abundance of wildlife !!

Brilliant result

Great video Simon I know what you mean by feeling like you could live there forever we moved from a pit village in the NE of England to the sticks in Cumbria in the middle of nowhere I was just a birder back then no photography had a private wood I got permission to wander about in buzzard nests badger sets all sorts missed opportunity there, enjoyed the vid awsome stuff ,some nice shots at the end there to 📸👍
-
Great video yet again :) One of the shots with the Great Spot' with it's head out of the hole is a juv' bird as you can see the yellow gape around the beak. Also young birds make the constant begging call. Keep the vids coming :)

What a great watch. Superb.
