I've been out of action with a knackered knee for the last few weeks so I was itching to test out a new piece of kit I have on loan from Hikmicro. Finding wildlife can be a real challenge sometimes and so after Hikmicro loaned me one of their fantastic Lynx 2.0 Monoculars it was time to hit the woods to see what I could find. Join me for what turned out to be one of the most magical wildlife experiences I've ever had when I stumbled across a huge family of Red Foxes.

Whilst cleaning my camera gear and sorting my memory cards, this was the perfect video to watch. Hang on 5 fox cubs, now 6. Just wait a flipping moment am I seeing 7 fox cubs.. This was just the most uplifting piece of footage I've seen for a very long time. You not only inspire others, you also bring so much joy. Well done matey. And then near the end you counted even more...

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Thanks Simon, very kind words. Glad i was able to capture the experience and bring it to the viewers. ATB, Si 👀🦊📷

@robertlawrence7958 3 месяца назад

Definitely two different litters. That heat sensor is a useful bit of kit but at over a thousand pounds its kind of a pricey way to hone one's observational skills. I fear that successful wildlife photography is slowly becoming the realm of the wealthy. Lovely session with those cubs. That is a beautiful old Welsh oak woodland. So typical of how most of the valleys in Wales used to be before the march of industrialisation. Great images. Take care of those knees, once they are shot, life becomes a lot different....... I know ☹️ Best wishes.

Cheers Robert, when you compare it to the price of modern mirrorless gear I dont think its too bad but I get where you're coming from. Youre right, beautiful woodlands around here 👌🏼🌳🌳

@rashmore7237 3 месяца назад

Great video as always Simon. I took a look on the thermal scope website and as you mentioned...hunting. A story about how to get into foxing and it wasn't photography. How anyone can kill such a beautiful creature is sickening. I live in the countryside and seeing one is a rare treat.

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Yeh, its awful to think about it. It was certainly a red letter day to see them all so close up!!🦊🦊👀📷

@user-markparker 3 месяца назад

I’ve been looking at thermal monoculars as have wanted to get one for a while & this is by far the best video on that subject I’ve come across & you’ve sold me! As you said you wouldn’t have been able to scout that spot without the thermal monocular & it just outlined their importance as being in the kit bag for any wildlife photographer. I really like the look of the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 & am hoping you include it going forward in future videos. The images were fantastic but again that was down to being in the right place which was again down to the monocular. You made a great point in as much that to date thermal monoculars have been trained on the shooting & hunting markets but hopefully after watching your video will steer them into the wildlife market. I heard a nice saying; Wildlife photography is like hunting, you must have the same instincts as a hunter, but without the desire to kill. It’s the hunt of angels, you trail, you track, you aim, then you fire, but instead of killing that animal a photographer makes it everlasting.

@simoneardley 2 месяца назад

Very true Mark, another good one, " Leave only footprints, only take photographs!" Theyre not an essential piece of kit but as you saw they can give you that one special moment that can lead to some once in a lifetime images that make the expenditure so worthwhile. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. 👍🏼👀

@emeraldwildlife9716 3 месяца назад

I just bought an Infaray P2 pro $250 USD. It hooks to your phone. I bought it in hopes that it will make finding owls easier. I can't wait to try it out in the field. The test I did in the back yard impressed me. Excellent work, I can't imagine the grin on your face while that was going on in front of you.

Lovely mate! Took me a while to get around to it as I've been away up North and it's a long one, lol... What can I say my friend, pretty dam good. Top work and a great bit of kit for sure, this fieldcraft is becoming easier these days, lol... We had them back in the day when I was in the Navy and there were as big as a portable TV, lol... Good bit of kit and worth the money, looks like amazing quality. Nice one, see you in the next one. Rich 👊

@nigelroberson8911 3 месяца назад

Started watching this at 0800 and finished it at 1600. In between load car and drive home from Cumbria to Norfolk. All day wondering what the outcome would be. You smashed it Simon. Field craft is the key and you are spot on with the cammo. Ive had Red Deer nearly trample on me because concealment was so good. No photos though because he was too close. Ive a thermal monocular and I agree with your assessment and comments. The countryside is big and these animals are small and widely distributed. Dusk is a good time to have a mooch around. Good work.

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Cheers Nigel, I had one of the cubs so close I couldnt focus. Amazing experience 👌🏼🦊 Good concealment always pays off.

@TonyH_379 3 месяца назад

Another brilliant video Simon. I was only pestering my wife about a thermal imaging monocular last week so perfect timing 👍 I just wish they weren't so darn expensive (around $2000 🇨🇦 here). Lots of owls in the area I like to photograph but alas I struggle to find them, thermal monocular would be a game changer for me. Have a great week 👍

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

@woodymeristem2223 3 месяца назад

Super video -- well done sir👍👍👍👍 Agreed, some of those kits look significantly older than the rest, probably a blended litter where the female has somehow adopted another female's kits -- or two females used the same den and share maternal duties, although that's unlikely.

@michaelwallwork7482 3 месяца назад

FANTASTIC! been watching your vlogs since you started. You were good then, but now! Your video's are professional wildlife documentaries. I've not got the ability or the confidence to do a RU-vid video. And the work involved and keep finding different content to film must be so time consuming. The comment you made about finding your own wildlife, is so true. My best photos have been of wildlife I've found myself. I also love doing the field work to find it. And the thermal monocular. I'm going to buy one👍. Keep up the great work Simon, I look forward to the episodes. Hope the knee heals up well 👍

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Aah thanks Michael, very kind words. It is a lot of work but I love doing the films and great when you get nice comments on them. Have a go mate, nothing to lose. You might be a natural. Everyones got to start somewhere. ATB, Si👊🏼

@Sw33ty75 3 месяца назад

Fantastic film & incredible footage Simon, hope that your knee recovers quickly & hope it didn't happen on the bank in your garden if it sadly did it's time for a path to go in I would say

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

No mate, did it at work!! Paths going in soon anyway 👍🏼

@glynwilliams1225 3 месяца назад

Excellent ‘ noticed the difference straight away with two off them cubs “ Much more developed. I think that’s two litter in one large earth. That thermal is a game changer . Really enjoyed that Simon

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Thanks Glyn, yeh definitely two litters using the same earth🦊🦊

@steve_colwill 3 месяца назад

Unbelievable, mate! What a fantastic experience. No doubt about it, thermal scopes are a game changer for wildlife watching. I was there at the NEC when you were at the Hikmicro stand! 😁 Great advice re concealment and a top tip about footwear. Hope the knee’s feeling a bit better. Take care and can’t wait for the next vid 👍🏻

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Cheers pal, its just small things that can make a big difference. Footwear can be one of them. Thanks for watching Steve👀👊🏼

Thanks for sharing this with us, it was amazing :-) You are so right about Cam & Concealment and your movements to get into position, also being aware of the wind is bang on :-) From a veteran Royal Marine, this video is exactly what draws me to wildlife photography. Sometimes it's not the photo but finding and tracking and waiting for that moment, hoofing thanks again :-)

Absolutely amazing footage Simon and stunning Photography! Top drawer this stuff. Definitely agree with the camo gear giving you the edge, I once had a badger come within 3 feet of me and stood on its hind legs sniffing the air ..I held my breath that long I nearly passed out. Once again brilliant work and a speedy recovery with the knee. Here's to the next one 🦊

@raytaylor3090 3 месяца назад

Hi Simon, excellent video with a great lesson on fieldcraft and concealment . Those shots you got of the cubs were amazing, a big thumbs up for them. I always use the mask and jacket and have had deer so close it amazing, they see something but don't know what it is so come closer, also hares. Keep the videos coming, its great also to see the excitement and enjoyment you get from making them.

@simoneardley 2 месяца назад

@richardpill8322 3 месяца назад

Absolutely fantastic! Well done Simon, you remind me of me as I use very similar techniques! I would say that there were two litters there, perhaps a surrogate mother because something has happened to the other mother as foxes have 3-5 cubs? All the best.

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Yeh, my thoughts too Richard. Cheers for watching

@paulcbennettphotography7959 3 месяца назад

Morning Simon, can I just say I thoroughly enjoyed what I believe to be one of the best ones you’ve done to date !!! And I make you absolutely spot on when it comes to to finding your own subjects and how to approach and how important the right concealment is to achieving your goal, is without doubt the difference between success and failure. But even more important than the results is that your subject whatever that may be is either completely unaware of your presence, thus behaving in a completely natural manner or even if they are aware of your presence you don’t represent danger or a threat as in you don’t represent the human form. You’re a man after my own heart in your approach and your passion for doing it your way and the right way. All the best Paul x

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Thanks Paul, its got to be right up there mate when it comes to the subjects welfare. If I can get in, get the shots and away with no disturbance then its a massive bonus!! Thanks for taking the time to watch. 👊🏼👀

@rlrphotography-uk 3 месяца назад

Amazing well done, I can't remember where I saw it FB ,News, or spring watch but I think they said the most they had ever seen was 7 cubs, Do you have a record 9 in the bag? Possibly .always look forward to your brilliant, down to earth vlogs. Best wildlife entertainment on YT. Thanks.

@simoneardley 3 месяца назад

Thankyou very much. Looking back at the footage and hearing from other people it would seem more likely that there was 2 litters in the same earth. Possibly adopted by one vixen. Hard to say without some lengthy observation.

One of the best videos you’ve ever done on the channel. I’m definitely saving up to get myself one of those thermal imaging monoculars. It’s going to give you a massive advantage.🙂👍🏻

Fantastic footage, and great info about what you pack and how you approach, another enjoyable watch, I’ve got a thermal they are very impressive but tempted to upgrade the colour seems to help mine just shows white heat.

Thankyou, yes my favourite is the Fusion setting which shows subjects really well. Nice to have the 4 options. 👀👍🏼

Hi Simon, great video and I totally agree with you regarding camo and wind direction. However, the best tip I would say is staying still and if needing to move, is doing it really slow so not to spook them.

Living the dream Simon. Absolutely amazing. 9 Unbelievable. I had to look up the price straight away. Around £1000 depending where you look. Cheap if it gets you shots like this. Great to see you back doing your thing mate. Are you going to buy one. Hope the knee is better soon. All the best. Steve.

@simoneardley 2 месяца назад

Yeh i think its a worthwhile investment depending on the type of photography you do Stevie. I will no doubt invest soon, once youve had use of one its hard not to have one in the bag!!🤣👍🏼

Absolutely loved this video, as always great content & delivery. I can only imagine how you were feeling sitting there watching it all unfold infront of you👌definately its all about the preparation, concealment & patience. Lovely bit of kit but pretty pricey, i bought a set of Nightfox Vulpes bino’s, reasonably priced and as you say, these things just give you an edge to an oppotunity that may otherwise be missed. Admittedly when wearing them at times with the head attachment i do look like i’m about to storm a building 😂

@simoneardley 2 месяца назад

Haha, i bet !!🤣 Thats one great plus for the monocular, the size. Great for slipping in the pocket. Cheers for watching Roy 👀👊🏼
