- Come along as I try for a lifetime first, looking for a rare visiting bird to Norfolk, the Osprey. My luck wasn't great at first but as can happen with wildlife, things changed quickly and I had the best 5 minutes wildlife watching I have had so far this year!

Cheers.
Your style of commentary suits me perfectly. Thank-you again and happy wildlife watching. 😊
Thank you Jenny!
Thank-you soooo… much for doing these videos.
You're welcome. I think there may be a settings issue on my camera as it used to be a bit clearer than it currently is but I'll get that sorted for next time. Thanks for watching!
Hazy or not, some fabulous shots, Liam. Enjoy the rest of the weekend
Thanks Andrew. I'm leading a wildlife walk in an hour so fingers crossed for plenty of activity. Cheers
Your luck was really in that day, Liam! How lovely to see the otter, osprey, harrier, GC grebes, GS woodpecker, and you mentioned a kingfisher flying past too - all great sightings! Days like that make it all worth while, don't they!!
Totally jealous! All those in such a short time!
An exciting time with much seen ..The otter was amazing too Glad you got the focus. on a Osprey .The shots are natural and brilliant ....
Beautiful video and great you saw the otter. You definitely have to keep your eyes alert all around as sometimes these sightings can be so fleeting and makes me think of all that we miss at times. Great work and thanks for upload.
The video truly matches your channel title. A shot of wildlife indeed. Stunning video
Great video Liam and congratulations to your first sight and capture of an Osprey! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day! // Bertil.
Great stuff, Liam! That hide must be a recent addition there, unless I’ve missed it in my previous visits...which is not inconceivable 🤣
What a lucky chap you are seeing all those in one day, days to treasure. I’m lucky having a woodpecker in my garden who visits most days for a feed. Another lovely video thank you
What a brilliant video, thank you.
A really good haul there Liam. It looks like the activity below the waterline dictates wether or not these apex fish predators will appear, so, like buses they come in numbers or not at all! Plenty of extras also; I love watching pairs of great crested grebes.. Nice one Liam! 🌟👍
Beautiful video Liam. I don’t mind the haze at all. What a great day you had. You are a wealth of knowledge and I love what you share. Thank you ❤
Saw my first Osprey at Rutland Water about 15yrs ago....was a sight to see....in addition to the Osprey saw my first Bittern too...happy days.
Fantastic.
Danke! I really enjoy your videos, Liam.
Thank you! I will try to keep supplying the goods, I'm currently editing one which is a bit hectic but was really fun to film. That should be out this weekend.
Love you videos! I'm still yet to see a woodpecker or a kingfisher in the wild, despite living close to wooded areas and a river. I've also never seen a native wild UK snake either! But I did spot a white tailed se eagle a couple of years ago on a visit to Scotland, and that was 100% the best UK wildlife experience I've ever had.
Thanks Liam. Very true. It can be like that with wildlife, certainly need time and patience. 👍
Lovely to see and you’ve summed up the wildlife photographer timeline perfectly. I was busy filming mating GCGs and ignored the nearby “Carp” surfacing in the reeds, turned out it was an otter 😖
Awesome
Wow great video Liam, lucky you seeing an Otter and a Osprey, loved the video 👍
Thank you Raymond. I filmed 2 videos this day and the second is just as exciting as the first (with 2 more species I have never filmed before)! Stay tuned for that.
Surroundings were beautiful as well 😊
Yes, a great place to spend a morning :)
Luv these 2, never seen either outside a zoo. Must be mad seeing them out in the wild, hope more ppl like yourself can ensure the protection of these places where they live. Ty for bringing us glimpses of them & how they survive
Thank you!
At last... an interesting video 😉 Mate, *all* your videos are interesting! Thank you, and keep the good work, I love your output! 🙂
Fabulous, thanks for the upload. Seen plenty of Otters but never seen an Osprey. Let's hope they make a successful comeback like the Red Kite.
What a fun video, thanks for sharing. The male osprey has been a daily, hourly attraction since late March and remains sadly alone. He seems to have made his home at Ranworth for now, perhaps he'll meet more luck later in the season. Good otter footage, there're sightings most days and, occasionally, beneath the visitor centre's drawbridge. The Alder Hide can indeed be deathly quiet at times, but it's proving of benefit for the persistent with daily kingfisher and bullfinch sightings plus the occasional passing otter - and it's great for bat watching late in the day. So glad you got to see the osprey. 🙂
Again Liam...lovely video content and interesting dialogue... keep up the great work!!
Rob
Thank you Rob! I filmed 2 videos that day and the next one will be out before the end of the week, I think it'll be another good one with 2 more rare animals that I have never filmed or included in a video before.
Thanks as always for your support and for taking the time to leave a comment, it really helps!
Great video my friend, have a nice weekend 👍 Serge 🍁😊
Thank you Liam for this wonderful video of wild life I learned a lot my favourite is the Slow worm !!!
Enjoyed video. We saw 2 pair yesterday. We are lucky enough to know 4 nests within 6 miles of our house
Wow, you are very lucky! I am hoping to film some nests a bit later in the year but I will wait until they have chicks to feed I think.
Lovely footage! Glad you enjoyed your visit 💚
Thank you. I'll be back for a boat trip some time soon!
Great video thank u
Morning. 🎉🎉
Good morning Jenny!
This is paradise to me Liam.
So pleased I discovered your channel today, Liam. Never seen an Osprey, but I would love to watch one of these magnificent birds live. Your entrancing video is the next best thing. See Otters here occasionally on our small local river and have a pair of Kingfishers nesting nearby. Thanks very much for sharing.👍👍👍
That's a great experience!
Cheers. It was a great 5 minutes!
Well done on filming the osprey and otter 👍. Your piece to camera at 04:55 was relatable
One of my fav places to go on the broads! Love the boat trips NWT do on their private broad. Cant wait to go back.
Amazing to see them all in one go
I visited Llyn Brenig, North Wales recently and saw an Osprey there! A first for me with birds, so I was really happy 😁 Would love to see otters one day, as well as beavers
Just come back to this video and seen my old comment here. I have now seen an otter! Beavers are next...
Nice one Liam. Looking forward to seeing more from you as we enter mid Spring early Summer.
Brilliant ❤
Thanks Sally!
What a great day you had!
I was at Thompson Water on Friday 28/4/23. I went on the trip on the off chance I might see an otter. I took a photo of what I thought was a buzzard on the far shore. On Sunday I went through the photos I took that day, only to find that the buzzard, was actually an osprey.
Woah, how great! I havent been to thompson water for a while now, last time there was a couple of cuckoos singing so I will have to go back soon. Cheers
Wow, Osprey and Otter, your luck was in that day Liam. 😂
Cheers Philip, it certainly was. I actually filmed 2 videos that day, the second of which will be out soon. I managed 2 other rare firsts for he channel so keep an eye out for that.
Bit of a red letter day, or at least a red letter 5 minutes! Nice one Liam. Looking forward to your Osprey vid! Hope you get good views and footage. Rutland Water? Also, always good to see some fluffs to camera. I'm a one-take wizard personally. NOT!!! 😆 👍👍👍
Cheers Graham. I filmed 2 videos that day and the next one was perhaps even more exciting... 2 new species that I have never filmed before!
Yes, I was thinking Rutland water, it isnt too far from where I went camping in september and I did say I would go back there and make a spring video so perhaps I will do 2 birds with one stone (or maybe even more than 2 if im lucky!)
I am definitely getting better at speaking to the camera and have recently started to have a go at doing them in one take, with the authentic emotions that come with it but sometimes I cant get my words out properly the first time round. Cheers mate!
Brilliant
Wow I would love to see an osprey. We have sea eagles down on the Isle of Wight and they are incredible to see
you sure did see a lot that day, that was some amazing views of the Osprey and otter... i do enjoy seeing the great crested grebes - i have yet to film anything like that at all. you definitely had lady luck on your side this day ;)
Just found this channel !! Great content !!
Thank you!
WOW you had a very successful 5 minutes.
I’d recommend you try out Watermead Country Park in Leicester. That’s where I normally go, and it’s beautiful. 😊❤️
Thanks Charlotte. I have looked at it online and it does look like a lovely place to visit. I'll try to get there some point this summer I think!
wow u was really lucky there wow
Hi Liam! Have you ever noticed that you don’t ever see fields or streets littered with dead goldfinches, robins and blackbirds? My question is….. where do the UK’s millions of birds go to die? (Natural deaths). Thanks.
😄👍
Nice one. I like watching the dyfi ospreys. Do you know the origin of the osprey you saw (ring number)?
Thank you. As far as I'm aware, this osprey isn't ringed and as such, I have no idea of its origin. Ther has apparently been 2 others seen in the area recently so there's hope it may start nesting there this year.
@@AShotOfWildlife ok, ty for information. The ospreys migration is amazing. The pair at dyfi are a joy to watch, I’m always happy when they return 😊. It would be awesome if a pair nested in the broads
what luck!
do ospreys and otters also feed on waterfowl and marine reptiles? considering that they are often found in ponds and lagoons
Hi Raph. Otters definitely eat waterfowl and amphibians, I dont know if they come across reptiles very often but if and when they do, I suspect they would be prey also. Ospreys almost entirely feed on fish, but have been recorded occasionally taking aquatic mammals and birds.
What camera are you using?
It's a nikon p950 (or maybe p1000). Pretty decent camera all in.
