Wildlife Livestream - Best Moments | Morten Hilmer is commenting 

Yes, please! Keep talking to us while watching the clips. Seeing you enjoying the little things, some of which I didn't realize, and 'reading their behavior' from your knowledge makes it even more interesting as a viewer. I had never paid attention to badgers strength, most of the times I see them as a funny, charming creature. So probably from now on I will try to notice that. Thanks for your time and I am looking forward to watching the next one, hopefully a ''long'' one too.

I enjoy very much watching the livestream as it happens. But hearing the respect and appreciation you have for nature in your voice makes it even more enchanting. I also love your accent and British English pronunciations. Please continue the narration! Thanks for letting us into your world! Ann in the US

I've been watching the livestream as lurker for about half a year now and I love it. Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook, so I would be happy if some of the special moments were also posted as little videos on this channel so that I can watch them again later. For example, the action of the badgers last night from about 3:20 to 3:40? Many thanks for beautiful, relaxing, educational and also funny moments to Morten and the whole livestream family and friends. Ps. it wouldn't be the same without Bjorn and his special personality.

I watch it here in Brazil...🇧🇷 I love it because the animals are different and the landscape is beautiful..thank you for providing this spectacle of nature🙏💖

Love this format, really enjoy your extra perspective/comments...when you have time of course..huge thanks! G

Another fantastic video Morten! I really like the way you have thought about whether to have full screen of the live view, full screen of yourself or a little window in the corner. I think keep all three and change it around as you see fit to tell the stories you do so well. I think you could keep the clips a little shorter though. You should definitely keep commenting as you have great knowledge and interesting things to say. Can't wait for the next highlight video where you talk about the badger rolling the log into the pond!! :) :) I've been watching your channel and the live stream from the very start from Western Australia.

I enjoyed that very much. What a good idea to hear you commentate as we watch highlights. I hope you enjoyed making this video as much as we enjoyed watching so we can look forward to more through the year(s). Pica pica has given good tips in the comments on identifying the badgers. How I tell the male pheasants apart (we call all of them Steve) are by the thickness of the white ring around their necks and the gap at the front where the rings do not quite join. Thank you again for such a fun and relaxing video 🙂

I very much enjoyed watching these best moments with your comments. It is so nice to hear your enthusiasm and passion for nature as well as sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Morten, you do this amazingly, your enthusiastic adoration of nature gives a particularly nice tone to these videos and clips. Thank you very much, we really enjoy this. Greetings from Serbia.

Oh wow that's a lot of best moments to watch :D Let's give it a watch :) Re: identifying the badgers, we were in the dark for quite a while until someone more knowledgeable explained it would help if we looked at the shap of the ears. Belle (female)has very shapely and elegant ears like this ~ ~, Baldur has ears like this ^ ^ and Bodo (male) has one smaller ear on the left like this ^ i (he is also very bulky). This might not be entirely future proof especially with the cubs growing, but it is working very well so far. For people who are in the FB group there is an ID chart in the mammal log. Gitte also regularly posts a link in the chat to the backup log for anyone who isn't in the group. At 16:41 the cub is actually playing with Bodo (the male ;) ) -- note the ear 20:19 is also Bodo You could hear a raven in the clip with the deer. Have you ever seen it? Really liked watching and some very useful facts :) I assumed you were going to cut together some clips which would have been fine, but I really liked this concept along with the comments as well. Enjoy your holiday! Edit: martens didn't feature in the video, but they are identified by their bibs. (Also pics in the aforementioned log)

Morten, thank you! It was amazing. Please keep on commenting.

I have many trail cams set up in my woods, some next to a badger sett and fox den - I also spend many evenings in the spring watching them coming and going. To answer you question about the identification of badgers, I have found the easiest way to tell them apart is by the shape of their tails. When they are young, they tend to have very similar tails - bushy and healthy but as they get older and they get into fights and perhaps have bouts of ill health, their tails can change shape. One badger I followed for a couple of years I called Pintail, as his tail had lost all its fur (he had been in a fight), another badger had a kink in her tail and the end was turned to the left. Generally, I have found that badgers with big bushy tails are younger than the ones with thinner tails. I also find sometimes they can have patches on their backs which are lighter - this shows up better in night time black and white video - and some can have quite individual patterns but when the badgers moult for the winter this is often lost.

The personal touch you add with your commentary is a much enjoyed bonus. Your time producing these is very much appreciated.

Well this is longer than I expected. Looking forward to watching Edit: Just got to the end. I liked this, hope you keep the commentary. Would love to see you maybe get say Susie or others to do some commentary on clips related to their fields (So have a badger clip episode and get Susie on to talk about it) if you can convince them :)

Hello from Florida in the US! I check this cam out because I love that big tree in the background. 💚

I remember once while we were watching the live stream there was a little fight between badger, fox and a deer. I was really amazing to watch who is the boss among them :)

I think it is very good idea to comment these beautiful highlights. The mic reminded me yput forgotten podcasts. Hope they will be back soon. Greetings from Slovakia. 🇸🇰

Morten, in the video you talked about jays that collect nuts and hide them in the forest. Squirrels do that too. However, there is interaction between the two species. I observed a pair of jays in the neighbor's garden, who in turn observed a squirrel and also followed it. I guess the jays wanted to know where the squirrel buries its nuts. I bet they want to raid the hideouts later (maybe in winter).

Always love to watch your Videos and this one is no Exception. You did a fantastic Job on it as also you and your Family and Friends on your beautiful Lifestream. Got it recommended by RU-vid at the End of last Year and I'm daily watching since then whenever possible. You're living in such a lovely little Piece of Paradise, thank you so much for sharing it with us. ♡ You definitely should make a Compilation of the funniest Badger Moments. There were so many already, I'm sure they would fill up more than just one Video. 😂 Keep it all up, Morten. Looking forward to many more beautiful Videos by you. ♡

Thank you for these Best Moments! I really like your commentary with the self-video because you pointed out highlights that I didn't see before. I am looking forward to the next one!

This were 43min watching? Doesn't felt like 43min. Thank you Morten for this first video. I really enjoyed it. The infos about the jays were really interesting. Looking forward to the next one. Maybe you can keep it like said in the video, sometimes it is with you, sometimes without. It will always be a surprise and that would make it more interesting for me.

You have done a great job with these clips from the livestream. And, well, I would be disappointed if you did not comment further. Your comments enrich the videos. Please continue.

Hej Morten. You asked for some feedback regarding this video, so brace yourself, here it comes 😉 I really like the idea of showing highlights on this channel. However, personally I think shorter videos would be better, using a strong thumbnail and title to attract more viewers. Why not use a theme for each separate video? There is so much footage about all the different species on your farm! Including the cute little mouse 😃. I can even imagine that a short video would be nice for young children to watch before they go to bed. The commenting is a nice asset because you are both pleasing to the eye as well as the ear 😉. You don’t need to talk the whole time, though. Sometimes the footage says it all. And of course it needs to stay doable and pleasant for you to make. Hope this can be of any use. Thank you for creating an animal sanctuary on your land and for sharing it with us. Greetings from Belgium.

Which luck you have with that backyard and the animals. Great! Very nice what you can get out with the livecam. I am thinking about to install a small creek with an electrical solar pump in my garden 🤔. But there will be no badgers and foxes.

I love the spider, and that it’s made the camera it’s home. I feel like I’m sitting in his home, getting a spiders eye view of the forest. The view out his living room window, if you will. 🕸🕷🤗

Great idea Morten, I am looking forward to watching this later.

I loved hearing your comments and sharing your enjoyment of these special moments. I'm sure you already noticed but you asked about identifying individuals. So for others who may not have noticed, in the second to last clip the bigger badger is the mom. If you look at her belly you can see that it's a nursing female.

Thanks Morten for subtitle. I don't speak inglish and this is important for me 🙂

Really enjoyed this. Please do the talk through if you have time, it's always a delight to be taken into your bubble of nature reverence.

the commentary gets very interesting 😉when the cub goes for the camera box. 🙌 # great idea

Thank you, for your live camera my family's favorite ❤, from Chicago

Beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍🙋 from Rome

Love this! My fav if where someone scratches so hard they falls over, i wont spoil in case you use it in another vid. And please keep the commentary!

I love this live stream, it has motivated me to create my own in the desert of Southeastern Utah USA. Should have internet available there soon so I can set it up down in a canyon that I have seen Cougars, deer and coyotes in getting a drink. I would love to know the technical specifications of your camera and streaming setup.

It would not be the same without you commenting, Morten.

Ja takk, det er veldig bra at vi både ser og hører deg når du kommenterer det beste av livestreamen. Et fantastisk konsept du bare må fortsette med. Dine videoer er til stor inspirasjon og jeg har begynt mine små steg mot det å være en naturfotograf. Foreløpig er jeg i min egen hage og tar bilder og videoer av dyrelivet i mitt nærmiljø. Takk for at du deler av din kunnskap. Hilsen fra Norge :)

I watched it all and it was really great. You should do it as often as possible. People can learn a lot. Maybe it would be oerfect to nake videos like this about birds and their sounds. That would be perfect. Looking forward to next videos.

Loved the best moments clips looking forward to the next one thank you Morten 🦡🦊🦝

For info, In English a Male deer = Stag, female = Doe (pronounced like toe), keep up the commentary!

enjoyed it very much. I like the format too as you talk over the footage. Nice job.

We're going to watch it right now, with a nice cup of coffee 🤗

Best moments was really nice Morten! Like the commenting. It was a bit low on volume at times so maybe next time you could make it so that the volume of your voice is just a tiny bit louder then the sounds of the clips? and that if you want to let us hear the sounds of the video wait with the comment or give it before you play a specific part of a video? But love the best moments with the comment. Maybe you could also do a funny moments video and/or do a video with clips about one particular species? Maybe every once in a while switch between video's with and video's without comment (depending on your time you can then decide which kind you make) 😉 As to how often a video should be placed on the channel...I'll leave that up to you. It shouldn't take up time that you can spend on other important and nice things just to please viewers. Your life, your choice ☺💚

My wife and I love to watch your videos, Morten :) They are very nice. Especially that kind of videos. You know, when you drink coffee and comment what is going on on the screen it creates very lovely and home atmosphere. I fully endorse that format of videos :)

I really enjoyed the video and I love that you comment on what we are seeing, it gives the videos a more personal touch. I would suggest making use of videos (if possible), that others have shared on face book as well. There are some clever people on there who have captured some wonderful footage, that people can catch up on at a later time. I'm not fussed as to how often we get videos, I'd rather you did it when you had time to do it. I say that because it has to be enjoyable for you also and not become a chore. Unless of course something happens that just can't wait. We have had some lovely footage of the badgers being cheeky this year, so one thing I would love to see, is maybe once a year a video with all the funny moments, so for example the cow invasion, or the badger going to war on the camera. You could show this video at either Christmas time or on the 1st April to tie in with April Fools Day. Also in English a male deer is called a Stag and a female deer is called a doe. The word doe is pronounced in the same way you say dough, as in pastry dough or play dough. It might also help to think of Homer Simpson and him saying "d'oh". But for now, a lovely first video, keep up the good work!

Morten, din Wildlifestream har været en af mine natlige favoritter i over et halvt år - tak for din indsats!

Where is this camera located?

Most enjoyable 45 minutes of viewing, thank you.

I adore your livestream. This is my first day visiting your site. Your love for the animals and nature is clear and appreciated very much. Blessings on you and all the creatures.

I am very much enjoying your comments, your passion and love for the animals makes the entire viewing experience enhanced in my opinion. The knowledge you impart is really helpful, and I hope you decide to keep yourself in the "best moments" clips collections in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little piece of the world with us all. Much aroha from New Zealand.

Прекрасно!

Hello Morten. Thank you for this fine video with a compilation of clips. And please keep your commentary. It’s so interesting to hear your thoughts. And we are lucky to be able to “see inside the head” of such a nature lover and idealistic as well as realist man. Thanks ☺️ ✌🏻

My first time watching. Thank you. Your English is very good. We are so language challenged here in USA (Texas) I found you through Emma Carlyle. You look great - very nice in that green shirt.

I love watching the live videos. I'm from Brazil. Thanks Morten!

I don't like coffee so I'm having something slightly stronger 😀 But I've spent over 4 hours downloading pictures taken yesterday from a bird of prey session and I'm not finished. The Z9 is wonderful, until you have to download the large files!

Desde España, muchas gracias por los vídeos, soy un gran seguidor, es espectacular, muchas gracias.

Hi Morten! What a nice and interesting proposal you make us!! I learn a lot with your videos and I enjoy your passion for nature. Please continue in this way: Always respectful and simple with your equals and with every living being, always transmitting love and care for our world. Thank you dear!! I will continue to listen to you and watch you!! A hug from the City of Buenos Aires.-💚

I love watching the live stream and really enjoyed the Best Moments commentary. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Thank you for the live stream. I just discovered it yesterday. It's wonderful.

Hi Morten, I was wondering if you can share your equipment setup for the live stream/service etc. I would like to set up something like this on my lake home in Minnesota.

Do you have archives of your live stream? I would love to see a section from Sunday evening (18th Sept) from the Wildlife Scout Camera, Mystery Forest.

Hello from Norway ❤️ I love this stream so much and I always keep it on when I am at home to get some nature and relaxation into my life. The thing that has interested me most is seeing the animals interact with other species, especially the badgers and the raccoons! Also funny when the marten is up in tre tree watching what is happening from a safe distance. Thanks for this!

I enjoyed this video very much, one of the reasons is your comments which are insightful and informative - thank you! The deer you were trying to remember are Red Deer with stags and hinds.

Lovely video, a female deer is called a doe in the UK. Don't know if anyone else has put that it the comments, if they have, just ignore me. Nice to see so many jays, never seen that many before where I live. We do have foxes and badgers, we have a young cub at the moment, but we have been told we can't feed the birds or foxes and badgers. Very upset at this. I don't feed them every night, as I think they have to learn how to find their own food, and not become dependent on us.

With you commenting the video might be much better. You are doing an excellent job Morten. Keep doing this, please.

Thank you for the intelligent commentary and information .. but most of all thank you for the live stream .

I usually lurk, but I do appreciate your commentary on this video.

The best bits commentary is really worthwhile. It answers questions as well as raising others. Curious to know whether you get both species of Marten. Also what species of tree forms the "archway"? (Goat willow perhaps》and what the other tree and shrub species are within the frame. You may have already said this, i'm new to your site. But thanks and keep up the good work.

I would prefer a commented video, but a little shorter 12 - 20 minutes.

I Like this format, with your comments en questions. This format lets us look better at your videos and in this way we can enjoy the suprising nature in your backyard. Thank you for your efforts to make more people to get enthousiastic about nature in our direct surroundings. More than welcome in The Netherlands at this for us crucial times. Keep on the the good work. Thanks

Your efforts are absolutely top of the class!! I don't know how close to a badger you've ever gotten (physically) and honestly,, you've come much closer to these exceptional animals than I ever will but if I may further explain; of all the animals that I've ever seen, the badger has the most softest fur of all. Compared to other rodents, the badgers fur is almost as soft as the rabbit. Surprisingly so, especially how violent the badger can be...the badger 🦡 has super soft fur.

Just by way of a comment, the English term for a female deer is Doe (pronounced like dough as in bread).

Hi Morten, i have a question regarding your installation. You get the electricity from the solar panel but how do you manage the data ?

Maybe start a journal and take still pictures of each animal to keep in the journal and note the differences (markings or identifying marks on each so you can tell one badger from another, or one fox from another, just an idea. Love your live web cam!!

It's great! Keep the same style for future videos. I like your comments, thanks to you now I know much more about those cute animals!

The baby fox that showed up, was it he/she making that noise. Chirping noise?

Very nice, it will nice to mix your comments and silence as you almost did in this video. Do you know if somewhere they put screens in home for old people? Im sure they would love it. Thanks Morten.

😀 👍👍👍

You have a beautiful house and a beautiful garden you are doing great job

I personally love to hear your comments. If anyone wants to see without they can watch the livestream.

thsank you so much.. please carry on to comenting the videos!

Lovely video, thank you for all the insight you gave. The little mouse visits are always enjoyed in this house too 😊

Great channel! Can I ask which camera do you use? Thanks in advance.

I love hearing your commentary and seeing you talk to us as we watch the highlights together, so keep these videos coming! Watching from the US!

I watch it from Bavaria🐁 I love it. Thank you Morten 🌸

Tea? Coffee? I had a beer whilst watching 👌🏻

Yes I enjoy your talking and observations .

Hei! Ny her på kanalen din :) Jeg bare lurte på hva for ett kamera du bruker ? Dette er jo helt genialt, det er jo så spennende å se! Du har virkelig funnet den rette plassen å sette opp kamera :) Fantastisk! 👏🏻

I watch the livestream as and when I can. As we don’t have these mammals in our country I learn so much. Its so peaceful listening to the wee stream too. Totally enjoy your commentary and love the delight on your face as you see and comment on the animals antics. A great way for us to learn and deepen our love for the wildlife. Thankyou so much.

One night on one of the place somenting rare apear on camera i have the short video

I love this idea. This will be a perfect video for me to watch this evening :)

When they are together it’s easier to identify the differences between them

Fandemar dårlig upload 360p👎

Thank you for these beautiful moments 🙏💛! I noticed that there is always this little bit annoying bird when the fox is around. As if it wants to warn somebody..: ), I like your comments, greetings from germany

I enjoy the commentary.

Love to hear the badger snuffling through the grass for food. Maybe you could get some clips from the trail cams ? - I like the talking, but if you wanted to, you could just introduce each clip ? Either way, I do enjoy these

The bird is having a fit!

😊❤😊

is it denmark?

Thank you for both the live stream and this video with your commentary. Your commentary is super valuable and helps me learn so much about your observations and the wildlife.

I love your comments. Your voice and accent are soothing. With the deer: Male/Stag, Female/Doe, and the young are fawns. Your English skills are amazing.
