Cracking vid Ryan! I haven't been to Minsmere since the mid 80s but spent a lot of time there with my dad, when we went on annual family holidays to Suffolk.
It looks to have changed a lot... unsurprisingly...and after watching this , I've decided that I need to make the trip and go back.
3½ hours from me in Sherwood Forest, so will likely do 2 days to make it worthwhile.
Love your enthusiasm...it's infectious! Also your honesty when you get identification wrong...many folks wouldn't own up to that but we all do it and it's refreshing to see.
Oh...and great photos too!
Keep em coming mate 👍👍

Thanks so much mate really appreciate the comment !!!
It's a fair distance from me as well but only a couple of hours, but still well worth the visit. I can't wait to go back !!!

Thanks Shaun and I can see why !!! Was a phenomenal reserve and I will be going back for sure.

Another great video Ryan, so great to see you enjoying every step of the way round!
I've only been to Minsmere once (September 2023) and it was magical! Going to hopefully try and get there again for a few days this Summer or potentially next Spring/Summer!

Oh that will be amazing if you can get down there this Summer, I want to try and visit again this year for sure.
