Relaxing roe deer kid

Look at this serene scene of a roe deer baby munching and dozing in the summer sun. In this instance, the deer were on an upward slope so I could shoot from a worm’s eye view without lying on the ground - always a bonus. The only downside was the amount of flies in the air - I didn't have time to switch to manual focus, so all the insects dancing about in front of my lens caused the auto focus to jump around a bit.
I captured the footage in August 2024 using my OM-1 and M.Zuiko 100-400mm lens handheld. I filmed from a respectable distance using my long lens to avoid disturbing the deer.

Singing willow warbler

มุมมอง 1.7Kหลายเดือนก่อน

Sound on to hear the song of the willow warbler. It has a complex cascading structure, starting high and descending in pitch as it progresses, and a gentle, lilting tone. It's the perfect soundtrack to spring and summer. I captured the footage in May 2024 using my OM-1 and M.Zuiko 100-400mm lens handheld. I filmed from a respectable distance using my long lens to avoid disturbing the bird. Oppo...

Singing wren

Sound on to hear the unmistakable song of the wren. If you listen carefully you may also be able to hear the bird that it is responding to. Can you hear it? I captured the footage and images in July 2024 using my OM-1 and M.Zuiko 100-400mm lens handheld. I filmed from a respectable distance using my long lens to avoid disturbing the bird.

Fulmars on the cliffs at Dunstanburgh Castle

มุมมอง 1523 หลายเดือนก่อน

Watch this pair of fulmars nesting on the cliffs next to Dunstanburgh Castle in Northumberland. The best time to look for them along our coasts is May onwards when they return to their nests and lay a single egg. I captured the footage and images in May 2024 using my OM-1 and M.Zuiko 100-400mm lens handheld. I filmed from a respectable distance using my long lens to avoid disturbing the birds. ...

Noisy great spotted woodpecker nest

มุมมอง 2123 หลายเดือนก่อน

Sound on and watch til the end! It was the noise that caused my partner and I to stop and take a look at this dead tree. Watch this video to see (and hear!) great spotted woodpecker chicks being fed by the male (identifiable by the patch of red feathers on the back of his head). If we hadn't decided to investigate the strange noise, we would have missed this lovely springtime encounter. So, if ...

Moorhen nest in a tyre

มุมมอง 4294 หลายเดือนก่อน

These moorhens had built their nest in a tyre hanging from a barge moored on the canal in Hamiltonhill in Glasgow. In this video, you can watch the parents feeding their tiny chicks. Just to note that this activity was captured using my long lens without disturbing the birds. Moorhens are an often overlooked species but one that's worth a second look. While the adults are easily recognised by t...

Long-tailed tits nest building

มุมมอง 1706 หลายเดือนก่อน

Watch these adorable long-tailed tits busily building their nest. I captured the footage and images after discovering this nest on one of my lunchtime strolls. Long-tailed tits create their nests using moss, lichens and cobwebs and line it with around 1,500 feathers! They can take up to three weeks to build these incredible and flexible domed structures. The spider silk stretches to accommodate...

Predominantly found in coastal areas, estuaries, mudflats, and marshes, you can also spot redshanks inland around freshwater habitats such as flooded fields and wet meadows.

Watch and listen to these whooper swans as they call on an icy loch. The adults are white with a yellow and black bill, while the juveniles are grey with a pink and black bill. The whooper swan may be a rare breeding bird in the UK, but from October to March, around 16,000 spend the winter here, with the largest concentrations found in East Anglia, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
