After a few months away from the pond, I return to see how it's holding up. I spent a few days filming all the different wildlife with the Sony a1, 200-600, and 90mm macro. This update shares the story of the pond during the fall.

I'm in awe of the Chickadee hopping onto your hand. The Boreal Jumping Spider is my favourite spider and i've been fortunate to have found a couple feeding happily in my back yard. Mr Inairo your pond work is sheer genius. Thank you so much for posting.

They're definitely up there for me, as well. Such likeable spiders! Thanks for watching!

Man I wonder why this channel is not famous as other useless Facebook channels. My childhood watching discovery channel kicking back watching these videos. I also did some wild life photography before 4 years but I lost my interest eventually and I sold my camera. Thank you for opening my eyes again. I will get back to wild life photography when i have resources to buy a new camera. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️

@meganpryor1081 2 года назад

My 7 year old daughter and myself look forward to your videos! She has fallen in love with bird watching over the last year and enjoys taking photographs of birds in our backyard, when we travel, and she even bird watches on recess at school! Your videos show her another person's passion for bird photography and she is able to share the excitement through your videos! Her favorite part of this particular video was of course when the Chickadee came to your hand! The way you explain your process of capturing your pictures is stunning! The way you describe in detail and use beautiful vocabulary to share what you saw and what the video contains is absolutely breath taking! We both hang on to every last word it seems!! So, thank you for being such a wonderful influencer in the bird world! You have sure made an impact on our family and we're thankful to be able to see how another individual explores and experiences wildlife (especially birds)!! Excited to see what the next video will bring! Thank you for sharing!

@StefanoIaniro 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Wow, that's amazing that she's already into birding at that age. I wish I had started earlier. It's nice to hear my videos are resonating with people. Thanks again for sharing!

My favorites moments when you get so into the different sounds the birds make, identoifyu them right away and then apologize for losing your trail of thought, I am enjoying your videos way too much, thanks for your work bringing us this great takes on nature. I also love how you let nature do it's thing, everything seems to fall right into place, the opposite of what we see in our society, where we keep tropical plants and animals in environments that don't really suit them.

@nathanyouseman39 2 года назад

Such a great video and I really loved the narration, really relaxing listening to this. As a gardener I never really considered the value of leaving plants that had gone over as a food source for birds. Definitely something I am going to take forward as the healthiest garden is always the most diverse and I've been embracing more "pests" to feed birds etc so seeds will be a nice thing to include too.

@StefanoIaniro 2 года назад

Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Not only will leaving plants provide food for the birds, but over the winter, beneficial insects will overwinter in the hollowed stalks of the plants. It's neat that at all times of the year, they can provide food or cover, in one form or another!

@ashokkr 2 года назад

Great video. I always believe that wildlife photography is not about good photos, is always about observing the wonders of nature. Your video just confirmed my view 😊 hope many more birds and insects visits the pond in next season.

Big kudos for such a splendid videography with exciting topic, not to mention the proactive creative idea of providing the pond yourself. And since now it seems set that you're gonna have continuity in doing this one, what about throwing in stats as well in your observations, then we'll see which ones like it very much to return as your regular customers, which doesn't return anymore, which has begun to show dwindling numbers etc...

Hey Stefano ! First time commenting after weeks of watching and getting loads of ideas 🙂 so cool to see the chickadee landing at the start of the video. I really like this story telling style to the video. Also I wanted to ask about a piece of clothing you use. It’s a light camouflage hoodie that you use in your Turkey Vulture video whilst you’re in your hide. It looks light and worth purchasing. It’s my birthday at the end of the month so wanted to treat myself 🙂

@StefanoIaniro 2 года назад

So happy you enjoyed the video! I got that Realtree hoodie a few years back while in one of the big chain stores in the US, a Wal-Mart or Target or something like that, I don't quite remember now haha.
