  • Testing out my brand new tripod at one of the best birdwatching locations in the south west of England, the headquarters of WWT, Slimbridge Wetland Centre.

    Great video, really need to visit Slimbridge sometime. I'm in the Forest of Dean so not too much of a drive.

      Oh yeah definitely worth a visit. Lovely to go in the winter too for all the ducks and swans :)

    Lovely footage! Canada geese seem to be everywhere, lol. I live on the US Canadian border, so we have them aplenty needless to say.

    Very nice nice video George! If I was better at math and more able body I definitely would have rather done something namely with wildlife, animals, birds, or aquatic mammals instead of boring business. I took some wildlife law courses just for fun and enrolled in some online ornithology courses at Cornell.

      Thank you so much! 😊 It's great to have nature-lovers in all industries and sectors so they can bring the wildlife friendly approach to every area of work. Would you ever consider looking at the environmental sector? Not all roles would need maths or to be able bodied? Theres definitely less money in wildlife roles though :/

      @@georgecuckoo Yeah that’s what I heard that not every wildlife job has to be physically able and full of math. I was doing Social Media Marketing and thinking of becoming an Eco- Blogger but my relationship with social media has become strained and complicated. Well, all I know is I want to keep educating myself on such subjects whether for a career or not. Nevertheless, even before all this climate change stuff when I was young I was interested in conversation and protecting species since I was 9 or 10. I was always watching those wildlife documentaries on Discovery channel, TVO, and PBS.
      Yes it’s a shame wildlife occupations are do not have higher pay since they are so obviously needed.

    Maybe a selfy or a hand held tripod would have been easier.

      Definitely! However with my large telephoto zoom lens, its so large when extended that the tripod needs to be big and sturdy to stop camera wobble when filming birds. It is very heavy though 😫
