Lovely idea to make a video of the garden wildlife before the house is handed over to its new owners. What a great variety of creatures! Amazing. Enjoyed this one a lot - thank you for sharing it.
Great memories buddy, similar memories here from searching my garden as a kid and ragging around the land behind my childhood home in Blackshots 😉👍 great vid 😊
Yea, Ive been meaning to do it for a while, but was always busy sorting stuff when I was there, but we were all sorted by this point so I grabbed a couple of hours and made this video - cheaper than therapy! lol
Ah this reminds me of the many hrs I spent in my garden as a child looking for newts, frogs, hedgehogs etc! Great idea for a video and interesting to think about the amount of wildlife that can be found in gardens!
Touching video. My partner gardens to attract pollinators etc. My favorite patch is the 'lambs ears' which attracts wool carder bees. They are fiercely teratorial, armoured and hover like hoverflys. Chasing and butting all that stray into their territory. A real treat and fantastic photographic subjects as they always land after mating and surveying. Also possible to catch them hovering. Have you filmed wool carder bees?
Thanks Yes Im lucky enough to get them in my garden too. I leave the hedge woundwort alone until they have stopped visiting the garden, despite the fact it spreads like crazy! Ive got some ok photos of them and a bit of footage (along with green eyed flower bees), they were in a video I never got round to finishing about garden macro. And you can probably guess my plan this year is to film them both!
