The Elusive Wild Boar in the Forest of Dean - Wildlife Photography - OM System OM-1

- I'm out in the Forest of Dean in the hope of catch sight of and photograph the elusive Wild Boar. There is evidence of their activity almost everywhere you look in the forest, but finding them to photograph is a different challenge altogether. Join me in this stunning woodland, where I wait for the chance to (hopefully) capture some photos & footage of this magnificent mammal.

Another fantastic video!

That was amazing, well done.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic Marc, really enjoyed that. Pictures and footage top drawer, particularly enjoyed the sounds of the forest👍👍
Thank you so much John! I'm glad I was able to bring across how amazing of a day it was. I need to spend more time in woodland, I absolutely love the sound of the all the woodland birds
Great video and has given me some hope of also catching a glimpse of of then. Spending a whole week in the forest especially looking for the boar
Thanks Jenny, best of luck! You'll have a wonderful time
Great footage, photos and loved your enthusiasm. It looked like a great day

Wow this is unbelievable! Great shots and great video!

Thank you very much 😊
Brilliant Marc am up there in September hope to see some 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Dave, brilliant - it's a beautiful part of the country. Best of luck 👍🏻
Brilliant video Mark must have been an amazing experience. Probably Dan will want to go out with you again 😂 Thanks for sharing as I’ve never seen them
Thanks Stephen 😊 It was bloody amazing! haha, you can expect to see my ugly mug turn up in a few more of his videos - as he was down in Bristol over the last week
Top vlog Mark 👌
Myself and two friends were down there three weeks ago......same area by the looks of it!
They are great animals to watch and photograph.
Cheers Ray, that's very kind of you! So nice to see aren't they 👍🏻 are you local to the area?
@marchumphreyphotography your very welcome mate.
No I'm not.....I'm based in North Lincolnshire.
It was my first visit there since 2019 unfortunately but was well worth the wait......had a brief glimpse of a Gos too 👍
@@raypurkissukwildlifeandlan5361 ah a fellow east midlander then! Gotta love a goshawk, I also managed a glimpse during that day - but it's only ever been a glimpse with me and Goshawks

I'm so glad someone noticed! I almost didn't put that clip in, but left it in because of that 😂
Can't say I'm a fan of wild hogs,some years back they were in a local wood that skirted a few houses and a golf course, I've no interest in golf but they made a mess of both, but regards to your video magical to see these elusive animals and great for you to pick up a new species, I'm new to your channel but enjoying the content and the enthusiasm you have, thanks Marc👍
Thanks Derek, yes I know that they can divide opinion! I appreciate the kind words, thank you ☺️
Superb Marc, it was such a relaxing watch and the sound of bird life all around was amazing, especially the Buzzard mewing and the Sparrowhawk calling, chiffchaffs... Sounds of Spring. Top stuff, not to mention those lovely Wild Boar and the Humbugs were so cute! Yep I said the 'C' word!
Always lovely to see the passion and excitement in your voice when you encounter a new species for the first time, also great to see your ethical approach to their welfare when you kept your distance, and you were told they were quite accepting of human presence, you still decided to back aways to give them space. Well done mate, you've got a really nice way of presenting your videos, looking forward to seeing more from you. Keep up the great work.
All the best Rich 👍
Haha the dreaded C word 😂 I think it's absolutely right to call the humbugs cute! I'm very pleased you enjoyed it Rich, thank you so much for your lovely comment - it really is much appreciated 😊
Great video!!! Having lived in the Forest of Dean all my life you can sometimes take these experiences for granted, but seeing you so excited by your experience just makes me realise how lucky we are to have this on the doorstep.
Thanks Ian 😊 I imagine boar are like part of the furniture for you living in the forest of dean! I was so pleased to be able to see them, I'm sure I'll be back soon enough - I'm based in Bristol so it's not far for me
Thanks for all the great videos Marc! I have only recently discovered your channel but have got so many great tips from them to help me with my wildlife photography. I look forward to more great videos from you.
@@IanDickinson-yx5tk Ah thank you Ian, that's so nice of you to say. I'm glad that you're taking tips away from the videos, it makes it all worthwhile
Great footage and photos Marc! And of course a great experience too. I went to the FOD and searched for boar, but to not avail… so I’ll definitely need to have another trip up this year for sure.
Brilliant, thanks Thane. I do think I got lucky... but I'd say it's definitely worth another trip for you!
As a fellow m43 shooter I've been wanting to photograph wild boar this year but had no idea where to start. Picked up some tips so thanks! 😊
Ah Joe, you're back on TH-cam! I watched your videos a few years back, I'll have to go and catch up with your new videos 😊 glad I could be of some help 👍🏻
@marchumphreyphotography haha that's pretty crazy! Yeah I'm back :)
Top job with the channel mate, your style is 👌
@@JoeMaranophotography thanks buddy, I really appreciate that!
that was great
Thanks a lot 😊 it was a very fun experience!
Another lovely video Marc, well done, I'm off to FOD in the next few weeks to a spot I know, never fail to see them. Agree with your wait-and-see approach, defo the best way. I was at the new Forest the last few days, looking for new locations to film wildlife, and found a couple of massive active badger setts. Always think there should be wild boar there, never seen any signs though.
Thank you Peter! Ah brilliant, well I wish you the best of luck - do you post your images/videos anywhere? I've actually never been to the new forest myself, but i've heard wonderful things. Am I right in thinking that there are pine martens there now?
@@marchumphreyphotography I see you followed my instagram thanks. I have some videos on my channel, never done a vlog though… 😳
@@marchumphreyphotography yes I just found that out, will look out for signs, defo right habitat for them. I think they are every big forest now. Wildlife cam and peanuts me thinks.
What a great experience Marc and some fantastic footage of the Humbugs :) Can I ask, do you take the slow mo video footage with your OM1 or something else? or do you slow the video down in post?...I ask as I have the OM1 and slow mo video with manual focus and panning at the same time is not that easy, I manage it for the little I take, but wondered how others do it. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. Chris
Hi Chris, thanks for the kind words! All the slow mo video is taken with the OM-1. I always shoot at 60fps and then I have the option to use full speed or slow down in post - I use a combination of manual focus and continuous autofocus, as you're probably aware the video AF isn't great in the OM-1...
@@marchumphreyphotography Great, thanks for that info Marc, I will have a look at my settings and maybe change them 👍
@@chrismc2090 No problem at all, happy to help!
Here in Germany wild boars are almost everywhere, even in cities. Do you know the animals are not harmless?
Urban wild boar would be great! I've been told they can be aggressive when they have young with them, so better to be safe than sorry ☺️ always worth giving the animals the space that they need
Brilliant what an amazing experience. Great images and video!
Thank you Sean, it was a special day 😊
