Join me for a wildlife walk at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen in Norfolk, which almost ended in disaster. From now on, I will make sure I have something waterproof with me to put my camera in if it rains. #norfolk #wildlife #nature

Really enjoyed that Liam, so glad you got out of bed and went for a walk it was lovely to see so much wildlife in one short video. You make me laugh with your natural way and the way you film is relatable. Brilliant stuff
What a fantastic video. I must go and explore this place. I am often near this area. I get a great spotted woodpecker in the woods opposite my house and I hear him start hammering the same time every year, he should be around anytime soon. What a plethora of wildlife you saw. Great stuff. 👍👍👍
🏆Here you go! one filmaward and a medal!🎖 Your clips are always just what i need! i'm glad you kept it dry, and i think a tip about drybags is quite unnecessary 😉 Thanks a lot, best wishes and greetings from The Netherlands 🖖
Just discovered your videos and they are great, just what I have been looking for, excellent descriptive narration, looking forward to getting through all the ones I have not yet seen. Regards from the Isle of Man. Mark.
Cheers Dan. I plan on doing a lot more videos like this over this spring and summer so I hope they're up to expectations. One thing is for sure, I'm going to make wildlife education videos for as long as possible so stay tuned!
I saw my father at the kitchen door feeding a Robin some seeds from his hand! The Robin sat on his finger eating the seeds. It took some time for him to do that as the bird was a little timid at first, however as there was snow everywhere I guess the bird was very hungry!
I've seen tits tapping like that on our kitchen window and my workshop. I put it down to then pecking at tiny insects caught in fine cobwebs but now realise that they might have been attacking their own reflection (like my old dog did the first ever time he saw himself in a mirror).
10 out of 10 for getting the stoat on video - they're so fast and don't break cover often so even spotting one is lucky. 😄 Incidentally, I'm told by farming people that moles only come to the surface a couple of times per day, and only at certain times, so it might be worth noting what time it was when you saw the one in the video if you want to spot them in future.
Absolutely great video, I don't usually watch these sort of videos but clicked on it as am getting more interested in birds ,have subscribed as you do a great job explaining everyone of the birds to, they are so clever with their nest building, I took my dog for a walk today and watched some crows building their nest, weaving the sticks in and out ,totally fascinating ,thanks for this and greetings from Penzance Cornwall
Once you've seen corvids nesting it's impossible to deny thier superior intelligence. Crows are brilliant at teamwork and can do things like removing an entire slice of pizza from a bin without losing the olives. Once bits drop off and they're tempted to eat the thing they become a tad less civilized, but they are amazing.. 👍
Those long-tailed tit nests are wonders of bird engineering. Light, almost spherical, snug inside and with a small aperture. My nephew played football with one and it was durable enough to retain its shape with only a little fraying.
Really enjoyed this, Liam. The stoat was a real bonus - have seen the odd one or two but NEVER been able to film one - or photograph one. And how good was that to see the LTT nest! Great selection of birds and wildlife and the commentary was excellent, and with just the right amount of humour, and interesting facts.
'Inanimate pile of dirt' ! I had to chuckle there! What a great morning, worth getting out of bed for despite the cold and rain. Always a joy to see all you get to film, great commentary and informative. Don't be shy about talking to the camera in front of a couple of people you have over 41thousand subscribers watching!!
I absolutely love your films Liam. Properly charming and informative. I could listen to you all day, brilliant imagery. Superb. Thank you for your constant work.
Another great video! I'm learning so much from you, and it makes me much more condifent when chatting to fellow amateur twitchers and naturalists. Thank you.
I love watching your birds content as I get to learn different types of birds, educational for people like me that find all birds majestic almost like in a fairytale. Above all, a fairytale like story with your British accent and nothing could be better than that! Look forward to be watching more of this content! God bless you for sharing🔥
Lovely video, reminds me a little of Brownsea Island with their bird hide and Sika deer. Always great to visit these areas especially now to see all the spring activity of the birds. Thanks for all your work, really enjoyable.
This is absolutely brilliant! So much packed into the film, the woodpecker footage is PRICELESS. I love the audio, the particular sound, which I've heard live, of a favourite hollow drumming tree comes across SO well.. You've suffered for your Art Liam! We are grateful indeed. 🌟👍
Fantastic, never seen a monkjack. Interesting fact about the shellducks. Using a burrow,I film a pair up at the mull of Galloway. You learn something everyday from enthusiasts like yourself. Any chance you could do something on the Watervole. I've scouredany a riverbank. And it's a long time since I encountered one. Are they in decline. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Keep up the good work.
Great channel I love the wild life you find. A few years ago I was walking by a stream in Milton Keynes, I saw a mouse run across the path it was then chased and caught by what I think was a Weasel! But, once the Weasel got the mouse a crow came down from the tree and took both of them off! An amazing display of the food chain in action lol. Good luck with the channel 👍
This HAD to be rewatched. Sir David Attenborough MUST see this. I just KNOW that he will love it. I was enchanted by the Chinese water deer, and the story with the robin, mole and worms was fabulously real. I have seen a stoat, once I woke up under trees and saw him/her eating my salted peanuts. I saw another, zipping by, not unlike your one here, but the peanut eating one was by turns motionless (why we don't see them) and tumbling and chewing in appearance of delight.. Nice one Liam! A film to keep. 🌟🎥🌟👍👍
Brilliant video. Deffo seems a great place to spot many varieties of wildlife. Glad your camera survived the day out, lol. I've read and heard that Greylag Geese pair for life. But just before the first lockdown in 2020, I had been filming a Greylag pair nesting for a couple of weeks and I noticed the male was still mating with other Geese on the lake while the female was on the nest nearby. Is this normal or are Greylags prone to mating with just their partner?
Thankyou for that very enjoyable video ,my favourite reserve by a long way .The snow drops looked marvellous ,but the bluebells are well worth waiting for .keep up the interesting & enjoyable work .😊
Lol, You’re funny in a dry sort of way. I like that. The kind of humor you have to listen for. Great video, glad you didn’t ruin you camera and it stopped raining.
@A Shot Of Wildlife thank you so much, i very much enjoy your information about nature regarding our beautiful birds, squirrels etc. I want them to always be protected along with the rest of our Wildlife.
Hi ... I hope all is well. iv seen ur RU-vid channel for a while now... id like to say .. loving ur channel... I'm looking forward to GO on an RSPB CAMP /FOOD /PUB weekend
Well! A very dramatic start to the vid. It kept me on my seat! Again Liam, what an absolutely brilliant video. These are sooo informative and also humerous. Kept it up mate and happy wildlife watching 👍🏻
Lovely vid of Strumpshaw, I visited there in May about 5 years ago as they are one of the few places to see Swallowtail butterflies, I was unlucky on that occasion, but I did see Bearded Tits from the viewing platform. The Marsh Harriers are magnificent.
Great video. And camera work, those marsh Harriers 👍🏻 On Sunday morning i saw a blue tit sized, almost all rusty red bird with a black triangle shape on it's tail feathers. It was feeding off the surface of the water on a half submerged willow branch in a small tributary stream behind a weir on my local river. Still haven't been able to identify it .. but it made my fishing trip didn't see a single pike 👀
When I used to feed the birds here at mine in very rural North Yorkshire I would feed them sunflower hearts and the gold finches would flock in there droves to eat them you’d even get goldfinches fighting to get on the feeder I stopped feeding them cause the bloody grey squirrels would come and ouch all the food and it go very expensive feeding grey squirrels.
I love the long tailed tits. They are so very cute. I spotted a lot altogether in my garden, and when one flew away, they all did like a little cloud. I'd never seen them before. These and the little wrens are so pretty.
Doh! as soon as wrote this comment a whole load of your mech popped up! I had no idea you had a store selling T's and hoodies! Not sure how I missed that before.. Maybe add a note when you upload a video with a link or pin a comment?
Well, it did almost end badly. I almost drowned my £1200 camera, that wouldn't have been a great ending. Seems to have intrigued a lot of people thus far with the majority of comments saying they're glad they clicked. I do get your point, but if it works without being too clickbaity, I'm okay with that :)
