I'm an amateur naturalist living in Hampshire, England. As much as my work allows, I'm out walking in nature and trying my best to capture it's beauty. Anything that pleases my eye from birds to butterflies, mammals to reptiles and anything in between. We're fortunate to live in a fantastic part of the world with chalk downs to the north, New Forest to the west and the Solent right on our doorstep. I hope you enjoy my videos and would be grateful if you could like and share with friends and subscribe to my channel, it's absolutely free. I also have pages on Facebook and Instagram plus I occasionally write a blog on Blogger. Links attached.
First time I had got close enough to a red kite. Just got lucky for once. Took a few years so fingers crossed you get a chance in the future. I often carry my small Panasonic camcorder which has longer reach and is very good but the quality isn't quite as good as my nikon mirrorless. My footage was handheld too, so a little jittery but I was so excited to see one so close!
Thank you Tony. It's been doing the rounds with the tit flocks over the past few weeks in the orchard opposite us so these photos and film were over a couple of it's visits. Before Christmas I had 4 feeding through the front garden. One was inches away from my face as I looked at it through my window as it fed in the climber on our trellis. Been very lucky with them here in winter
No, I was there for a week. Just got very lucky with the Plover. It turned up for a couple of days. The whole week was very special. Great views of all sorts of species. May is a great time to visit
@@smudgersnature7289 Fantastic, always something to see, yes May is a magical month. New arrivals, some late or non breeders hanging on and the dawn chorus. Beautiful!
Beautiful bird. I had never seen this bird before since I have not been to your country earlier. You got lot of beautiful birds around you. Like to have a visit. Thank you for sharing. Greetings dear friend.
Very beautiful and unique looking bird 🥰 I appreciate the post bc I love birds, I have a sanctuary for them on my own property here in the US. I’ve never seen a bird that looks like this one. Quite lovely, thank you for sharing!
