  • We make a return to the Highlands again in the motorhome to search for Red Squirrels and Pine Martens. After last time when I only caught a fleeting glimpse of the elusive Pine Marten I was really excited to try again. In this first film of three made on this trip hopes were high as we crossed to border into Scotland and the weather forecast was superb. Join me to see if I succeeded in capturing the footage that I was desperate to get.

    Nice vlog Simon. I visited Plas Newdd in anglesey last week to photograph red squirrels but only saw a few. They were really timid. I live in the North West and was planning to visit Ainsdale. Didn't realise about the disease.. great photos thankd for sharing !!

    • @simoneardley
      @simoneardley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeh, theyre pretty shy creatures for sure. Might be worth checking on the Ainsdale situation before you go. 👍🏼

    Glad you got a couple of shots mate they are elusive buggers. I'd be forgiven thinking you were going for residency you've spent that much time up there, in fact I think they will be calling you McEardley soon. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤣 Look forward to the rest of the vids mate stay safe and have a McEwans for me. 🍻

    Hey Simon, funny thing... I was just thinking this morning that you haven't posted in a while and here you are! I really like the look of the hide ! Stone and wood. The markings on the Pine Martin are beautiful and a wonderful shot. I keep telling my wife we need to get back into the forest... fantastic video! Looks like a great trip! Say'in hey.... Greg

      @simoneardley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Andy, were back up in September hopefully. The midges are a pain in the ass but they seemed to come and go. Its them damned clegg flies that get me. They land without you feeling them and then they take a chunk!!😂😄

    Hi Simon, crackin pictures I hardly ever seen a pine marten when i lived in Scotland and i fished Invernesshire a lot, I never realised that here in Rhodes there is a huge population of Martens and the only time i see them here is dead on the road unfortunately, seen them fleetingly walking the dog, never quick enough with the camera, maybe i'll build a hide!. Atb Will.

    • @simoneardley
      @simoneardley  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like the perfect chance to get some great pictures Will, get that hide built asap mate !!👀👀📷👍🏼

  • @sarahkeast2943

    Lovely stuff, I will be heading back up to Mull in spring and plan on Ardnamurchan and a bit of touring too, do you know of any hides for Pine Martins?

    • @simoneardley
      @simoneardley  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Sarah, bet you cant wait. The Ardnamurchan area is stunning, I dont know of any commercial hides up that way. Might be worth putting some feelers out on the Facebook photography sites.👍🏼

    Wow, this footage is awesome Simon, sorry Ive just came across this one Im lucky Im in a red stronghold in West Cumbria, but cant get footage like this, need to change tactics a bit to get the backlit shots, though I do have footage of a red arguing with my tripod. Do you ever use a microphone when taking video or always put the music on if so what type of mic? I've a few clips where you can hear the reds splitting hazelnut shells, by gnawing around them

    • @simoneardley
      @simoneardley  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Andi, its something I need to look into a bit more regarding the audio. Certain species lend themselves to audio recording but the quieter birds I tend to put an audio soundtrack over them. Good luck with your squirrel project 👍🏼
