Its that time of year when the hedgerows and woodlands are just teeming with new life!! In this film I'm heading out to a new permission to see if I can capture images of some of our delightful Summer migrants. Ive discovered that we have Pied Flycatchers nesting in the new boxes in our wood but when I've been out and about I've been picking up Common Redstarts also on my Merlin app. Join me as we go in search in a fantastic local Oak woodland to try and capture these stunning migratory species.

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.

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, if you aren't aware, Collins also have an app (paid) which is the entire book but searchable on your phone + recordings of songs/calls. If I see something new pop up on Merlin I often cross reference what I'm hearing with the call on Collins to check Merlin isn't wrong. Might be easier than hauling the book til you get that e-bike lol
@simoneardley

Thanks John, I wasn't aware of the app. I'll take a look. Like you say easier than lugging the book but there's something very tactile about a book in the hand!!🤔😃

Wow! Brilliant Simon. When I saw the vlog was 55 minutes long. I thought great! If I'm not in the field, I can spend an hour at home ,with a nice brew, watching what you do. Pied flycatchers in the garden!,wow! bet you never thought you'd saying that a few years ago. Like you said they are about in Lancashire, but harder to find. You're living the dream Simon. Good luck to you. It's amazing how many heavenly places are on nearly everyone's doorstep. I live in the middle of an industrial and residential area. And yet I've found badgers, foxes ,deer and at least 60 species of birds, within a quarter of a mile from home. Love it! It's my heaven. Love your video's always look forward to watching them. Don't ever stop 👍👏. Can't wait for the redstart/ pied flycatcher vlog. Ps, I must get up to the lakes to see how my nest boxes are doing. Not had chance yet 👍

Braver man than me lugging that fatbike uphill, it's rough enough on my full suspension enduro bike. Unless there's anything wrong with that bike, I think you would be better looking at one of the frame or wheel mounted conversion kits that you can stick on any bike. Better a few hundred quid than a few grand haha. Dan

Simon, that's the best hour I've spent in a long time. What an incredible video again. I think I have to agree, my favorite woodland bird is the male redstart. I bought my first emtb in 2017 and absolutely love it, I replaced it in 2022 with a full suspension emtb . Personally I don't think you need the fat tyres, mine is 29 inch front and 27 rear wheels that are 2.6 wide . The 29 front wheel helps with rolling over difficult stuff. I go everywhere, there isn't anything or anywhere I haven't been able to go. I have the Giant reign E+2 it's amazing I can get around 50 miles on a full charge covering all different terrain. Ps. I'm 60 years old. Hope this helps.

Thanks Stevie, so many choices to make with the e-bike. I need to do some proper research and try a few types out. 50 miles is a decent range 👍🏼👍🏼

Simon, regarding e-bikes, have a word with Andy (Kent Survival on RU-vid) who had a channel where he reviewed different types of bike so he should be able to give you some good advice. Regards, Simon.

Ay up Si. Get yourself a lottery ticket you spawny git! Honestly, you'd fall over in muck and come up smelling of roses you. Just rewards for efforts. Couldn't agree more with that old adage 'Study to be quiet'. Have to say, calendar quality photos!! (hint hint) Not just fantastic wildlife but some cracking trees. Spotted a lovely hornbeam among those spectacular Oaks. Only disappointment for me was the switch to hobnob, fig rolls rare up there? Stay safe and well mucker.

How strange, l too picked up a redstart on the Merlin app , but l have not heard it since lm still looking. Regarding E bikes l ride a cube e bike, it’s a mountain bike and it makes life a lot easier especially going up hill, be careful though because l was photographing bluebells this Spring left the bike by a tree middle of nowhere and some lowlife had nicked it would you believe it! Anyway great video Simon enjoyed this!

When I saw the thumbnail I imagined illegals hiding out in the forest etc.! This happened in Poland.🙂 To be fair there are a lot of words in the thumbnail saying that it was about wildlife, but my mind didn't see this.
