วีดีโอ

Yes it was great thanks, have been going there years but never took my camera, least of all on a Kayak! Common Sandpiper are such a cool bird and so Tiny, Thanks for watching 👀

Glad you enjoyed it!

That sounds awesome, I've always wanted to hear/see Nightjars up the Chase, thanks for watching 👀

Thanks for the comment it is very important as you point out that these are Schedule 1 Species and have as little disturbance as possible, These encounters over the cliff top did not disturb the birds in their successful post breeding season and as you'll see from the images the birds were either leaving cliff ledges due to Crows mobbing or to chase a prey item. I will aim to point this out better in my videos as I learn to create more informative videos. Thanks again

Thanks, will do!

Thanks John, it's a great location to visit all year round 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed it, Amazing to see the Reds and so many at once

Thanks again John, closest place to the Midlands I can think of is Dovedale, there's loads if you want to see them 😀

@@LewisRound cheers mate, I will deffo have a visit 👍

Thanks for the watch Norm, If I was that close now I'd be brown bread haha 😄

Hope you managed to find some subjects, It does get tricky at this time I try to target seasonal location/events for the time of year ie Slimbridge for wintering waders, Rutting Deer, Bearded Reedlings coming to the grit trays in autumn etc glad you enjoyed the video

Thanks for watching and yeah birds are never give you this much time haha 😄

Thanks for watching and the sub!

Awesome, thank you!

Hi Andy, I'll have to pop up there then while it's hotting up, not sure of a location best for Rutting up there but I know where I've seen them the rest of the year so worth a look, Thanks for watching 👀 😀

Thanks for watching glad you liked the video 📹 😀

It sure is, I'm going to try and catch some roaring Stags and maybe a wrangle too. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂

Hoping to go to Richmond park for the red deer rut

Thanks again John, one of my Favourite locations to visit and in any weather too! 😀

Thanks John, they are a stunner of a bird aren't they. Thanks for the Watch 👍🏻

Oh wow! That's always the way isn't it but a great view none the less! Ahh ill keep that in mind, would love to get some Snake Photography done on Adders or Grass Snakes 🐍 thanks for watching

I have never seen so many Adders as this year on Cannock Chase (in 40 years), A couple of weeks ago I was walking down to where you filmed the Pied Flycatchers and saw 8 individuals in about 100 metres, once you get your 'eye in' it's amazing how many you spot. There are also plenty of Common Lizards and Slow Works still about.

Yeah you're probably right, I had limited time to get out on the cliffs as I was on holiday but next year I'm planning on making more of a dedicated trip for the Peregrines for sure! And yeah I definitely need to push the ISO more, guess I need to trust the kit more, Thanks for watching and the Advice

​@@LewisRound I typically shoot BIFs at a minimum of 1/2000 @ f8. For Peregrines, I'd be going at 1/4000 minimum, since they are such a fast bird. Some pros recommend shooting wide open (give it a try) at 1/4000 (Isaac Grant for example). I prefer to stop down to f8 although for me, that means pushing my ISO up by a stop. I use a R3 which is the current ISO king and it's good up to ISO10000 (I have shot some Australian logrunners at ISO25600 and they came out OK after NR and editing). With a modern camera, especially a MLC, you shouldn't be afraid of pushing the ISO.

It really does! For such a small bird it holds its song for ages with so much effort, Thanks for watching 👀

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it 😀

Glad you Enjoyed it, more to come soon. Thanks for Subscribing 😄

That's a Classic example of Bird Photography isn't it, one day you have all the gear you need for the moment but it never comes, the next time you have nothing with you and you get all the opportunity but are powerless to take advantage Haha 😅

You could very well be right it's just quite a bit smaller than other Greenshank I've seen, the more I look at that Bill it does seem on the longer side though 🤔

​@LewisRound flipping waders!... never thought I would mistake a Greenshank for a Wood Sand but until Christian mentioned it I never doubted you. Don't feel too bad though because many moons ago a super-rare Greater Yellowlegs turned up at Daventry, hundreds of birders turned up, many of them experienced twitchers (the finder was a really experienced rarity hunter) but later in the day, after many had ticked it off their list and gone home, a guy noticed a white wedge on the wader's back... it was a Common Greenshank! There were more than a few Rufous-faced bumblers spotted leaving the area after that one.

​@solitarysandpiper8491 that Story makes me feel a whole lot better haha! Waders are a nightmare as they come in some different colour morphs to throw you off 😅

Thanks Norm 👍🏻 Yeah a great Bonus, those eyes are menacing 👀

Glad you enjoyed it, I think the Sandpiper won't hang around while on migration and for good reason with that Sparrowhawk about!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes was fantastic, best view of a Sparrowhawk I've had down the lens for a while 👌🏻

Thanks for watching 👀 glad you enjoyed it

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching 👀 have a look around the Channel I have quite a few videos to watch now, have only started this year but aiming to keep the content coming, got some good stuff coming up

@@LewisRound you have made a great start. I will definitely look around and watch your other vids over time . Have a great weekend

Thanks for the feedback, Sometimes we can't always get the balance right for everyone, I'll be sure to try more of that going forward 👍🏻

Someone failed politeness school

Yes a fantastic location and in my view the best place to photograph Puffins, The Razorbills and Guillemot have left the cliffs when I went unfortunately and apparently the Puffins have left by now but there may be some stragglers if you get lucky, ahh interesting to hear little Owl have been on there with the lack of trees, I've seen Short Eared Owl there before though. The 2.8 would be perfect for them in flight I may get one and visit again next year with one

Thanks for watching and Subscribing, yes I'm very lucky to live a short drive away it's so diverse on the chase and Redstart are one of my favourite Birds for sure!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, I would say Freda's Grave area and a walk down to Sherbrook Valley following the stream is a good route alot of varying species to see

Thanks for Watching and Subscribing!glad you enjoyed some UK Wildlife I bet Sweden is something else!

Thanks 👍🏻

Hi there Thanks for watching, I like to go round the Freda's Grave area then down to Sherbrook Valley which is a great area too, Adders around there too

Thanks, it was difficult at first to get a close enough encounter to show their amazing colour but this individual loved the attention, Thanks for watching 👀 😀

Thanks a lot, yes great bird to go photograph and always a tranquil environment, the fledging young topped it off 😀

Thanks Norm, yes very nice to see these behaviours and very lucky to come across that nest just after the young Dipper fledged, more videos to come down the line 😀

Thanks 👍🏻

Will have to wait and see Norm, so much to see in the Cairngorms difficult to split the videos 📹 another 2 coming from Scotland soon

Glad you enjoyed it, more to come soon 👍🏻

Many thanks

Thanks for the Kind comments mate, Yeah it's a great reserve so much to offer, Thanks for the Sub! New video live now

Thanks for watching 👀

Thanks and welcome to the Channel
