We took a trip to the Knepp Estate Rewilding Project in hope of finding the amazing white storks. We also headed over to our local badger sett to check in and see if they are still using that same area and if they're currently active. We'll be back at Knepp very soon for the incredible dawn chorus there, as well as bringing you more updates from the badger sett.

Knepp is somewhere we've been meaning to go for ages. It's always delightful to see badgers on a trail cam and you got some great views. We had them regularly in our garden until a couple of years back and they weren't phased by me taking flash shots of them, as long as I gave them peanuts! This year we've had three fox cubs in the garden and they've been a delight to watch. You can see a short clip of them frolicking around on my channel if you have 30 seconds to spare....

Can highly recommend a trip to Knepp, Tom! You’d definitely have a lovely time. Just seen your lovely clips from the garden, looks like you have some fantastic regular visitors 😍

I didn't even know there were storks in the UK! This is one of the things I love about your videos, you take the time to give interesting background information about the featured content. This was yet another great video from you both and I loved seeing the badgers. Thanks ❤

Thank you so much Stephen that's very kind of you! Hopefully we can video the badgers again very soon with the 'real' camera and provide some updates 😀🦡

Wow, Storks and Badgers. I’ve never seen either in my part of the USA. The largest bird here is the Bald Eagles, which have made a great comeback in the past 8 years or so. I think it has to do with the reduction of certain chemicals in agriculture. Love the channel and really looking forward to seeing if you can spot badger cubs! How exciting!

@AWilderLife 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much Kelly! Very much keeping our fingers crossed for badger cubs 😀 so great to hear that the Bald Eagles are doing well, we'd love to see one one day!

Hello from a very WET Scotland!! I first heard of Knepp estate from a feature in the BBC a few years back. I read Isabella Tree’s book Wilding which was an interesting read., It’s a joy to see the majestic storks thriving in the UK. I just love watching you two enthusiastic young people get out there and enjoying nature. Thank you for making these great vids. Looking forward to seeing the future badger updates? They are very sweet animals and it’s a great shame how much they are persecuted

@AWilderLife 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Rose that's so kind of you! Hoping we'll be back soon with some badger updates for you! 😀

Great to see the Badgers. I tried Knepp a couple of weeks ago but abandoned as my ancient knees didn't like the muddy ground. I was lucky enough to photograph the Storks over the last few years in good light with blue skies though.

@AWilderLife 5 месяцев назад

Great to hear you've had luck with the storks too Dave! It was incredibly muddy when we went, even in wellies we were occasionally getting stuck 😅

@jonathanwilkinson1461 5 месяцев назад

Wow, didn't know we had breeding Storks in the UK. Lovely Badger footage too..

@AWilderLife 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much Jonathan! The storks were really amazing, definitely worth a visit to see them if you're ever near Sussex! 😀

Great video - looks a bit muddy at Knepp! Another place on 'to visit' list

@AWilderLife 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Neil, you're absolutely right it was definitely a wellies day! Knepp definitely worth a visit, it's a lovely day out and it's so big you could even spend more than one day there! 😀

Thank you for an awesome video. 😊 Random question: I love the baseball hat you was wearing what make is it may I ask? All the best

@AWilderLife 20 дней назад

Thank you so much Ads! So glad you enjoyed the video. The baseball hat is a Patagonia Maclure 5 Panel Cap 😀 I think the colour is 'Ochre' 👍

@@AWilderLife Did you ever loose a welly in the mud? It has happened to me! Mud so deep that I couldn't pull my leg out, I had to leave the welly after me🙂

@@dmnos6824 Haha luckily we have managed to keep both wellies attached so far but there were definitely some close calls this time with the amount of mud! 😅

Badgers have a very bad reputation with farmers, rightly or wrongly, but they are part of biodiversity and without them something bad could happen, they are doing some job on something I assume and are important.
