  • In this film I share my journey from a boyhood obsessed with nature to globally recognised wildlife documentary maker and artist.
    You can watch me create more wildlife art here: • My Wildlife Art 🎨🖼️ | ... and learn more about my gallery here: www.robertefuller.com/visit-us/
    Or, of course, you may like to purchase my artwork which you can find on my website: www.robertefuller.com. Many of my paintings are portraits of the wonderful characters you watch here!
    ABOUT THIS FILM
    ____________________
    As a boy I spent most of my time observing wildlife and documenting it in paintings and drawings and by my mid-twenties my dream of owning my own gallery was a reality.
    The story behind the paintings
    I prefer a detailed, realistic style and to achieve this I spent most of my time watching, photographing and filming the animals around me. From mallard ducks to kingfishers and puffins at the coast, my focus at first was local.
    My garden
    To make this possible I turned my home into a wildlife haven, planting wildflower meadows and putting up nest boxes to attract owls and kestrels. I even built a badger sett to watch these animals underground.
    Kingfishers
    One of my biggest projects was to watch kingfishers inside their nests. I made an artificial nesting bank rigged with hidden camera and over the course of six years I filmed every stage of the breeding process, from egg laying to the chicks' first flights.
    Following the lives of individual animals
    It wasn't long before I had cameras in all the nest boxes in my garden and soon I was following the daily lives of tawny owls, barn owls and kestrels - getting to know their individual characters.
    Wildlife characters
    From a tawny owl named Luna, who adopted two chicks when her own eggs failed, to a male kestrel who surprised wildlife experts everywhere by raising his chicks alone, the stories kept on coming.
    Sharing the stories
    I began sharing these stories on social media in 2010 and shortly afterwards caught the eye of the BBC who invited me to co-present short films for The One Show.
    TV work
    A few years later, I my observations of stoats and weasels were filmed for a worldwide program co-produced by PBS in America, and the BBC Natural World.
    Social media
    By February of 2020, we nearly had 100,000 people following our social media, but after the UK went into lockdown in March this soared. I began livestreaming the wildlife cameras and the audience grew so fast we had to employ a group of moderators to monitor the community.
    Online community
    People from around the world got really involved, even voting to name the owls and kestrels and the emails of appreciation began pouring in.
    Media storm
    When Niels, a bartender from the Netherlands who shared the livestreams on the big screen behind his bar instead of sports, the news went global.
    Collaborations
    The interest led to collaborations with companies I admired like Sony, DJI and Swarovski Optik. I also began a new partnership with a UK based tour operator, Wildfoot Travel.
    Travel
    With the support of Wildfoot Travel I began to watch wildlife further afield. Filming sloths in Panama, polar bears in Svalbard in the Arctic and lions in Zimbabwe.
    ABOUT ME
    ____________
    I am a British wildlife artist and filmmaker on a mission to share my love for wildlife with the world. As well as creating detailed animal film and art portraits, I promote wildlife tours around the world and do all I can to help conserve and protect wildlife here at my home in Yorkshire. I hope that by putting nature in the frame I can foster a deep love for wildlife amongst my followers.

    Robert, thank you for giving your own story arc "Boyhood Obsession to World Stage" in this beautifully edited film of many familiar characters and exotic animals in remote locations around the world. Loved the bar owner who put on your live feed of barn owls, tawny owls and kestrels instead of competitive sports. I love that you let the animals tell their stories, and you capture so many intimate and special moments with them. So much appreciation for your special artistic gifts, and wonderful ability to communicate love.🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

    I have been wondering for some time about your past and how your devotion to wildlife came about. I always enjoy watching Luna insisting on brooding 2 half grown chicks and Mr. Kes trying to figure out how to feed his 6 ravenous chicks. If you and Dodo had stuck with just social media, I would never have found either of you so this channel was another good thing that came out of lockdown for me. This whole video "was absolutely magic!"

I look at the projects that you do and I'm truly amazed by the detail that you put into the I believe they're called sets for all the different kinds of animals that you have on your property and elsewhere. You are a master crafter and a master at capturing the videos/ photos that you do! On top of all this, you are a master artist. Your pictures of your animals seem to come alive off the canvas. We are truly blessed to see your artwork in all forms. Thank you so very much for what you do not only for us, but most importantly for what you do for the animals.

    I only discovered your work just before lockdown, and have been obsessed since! Visiting your gallery in the snow last February was one of the most incredible experiences, especially after having been able to see some familiar faces from the fotherdale livestream! I’ve learnt so much from your channel about wildlife all over the world, but the local stories I find especially inspiring. I’m always out and about with my camera when I get the chance, exploring wildlife influenced by your videos. I love art too so that makes your gallery even more impressive. I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed to narrow down everything you do into this 25 minute video but watching your short films is always a great way to end the day. When I came across one of your videos for the first time, I binge watched for over a week to catch up! Thanks so much Robert and the team for sharing all this beautiful content!!

Everyone - and I always say this to the photographers who come to Paderborn because of the kingfishers - everyone is not only a nature observer, but also a protector of the environment. Thank you for your great and informative videos 👍👍

    Interesting Journey. Wishing nothing but the best for the team and really liking the close-up qualities of the videos + secret nest cams which give insights into the reproductive journeys & the ultimate evolution to their respective adulthoods. I do like particular videos whereby the birds give light-hearted and animated reactions to the situation like when Luna gave a bewildered reaction upon seeing Bomber exiting the nest after spending some time with the adopted chicks or Mr Kes' reaction & action after his mate never came back. Great job, REF & the team!

I look forward to traveling along with you as you give us more amazing footage of the animals in your backyard and abroad.

Like who else in the world has filmed kingfishers in the nest. That's got to be unique. Hats of to you Robert 👏 . All what you do is a great watch. All the hard work you do, it's a wonder you find time to sleep.👏👍

    Your wildlife videos are the best I have ever seen in my 70 years of life. It will never cease to totally amaze me how such tiny, fragile looking totally bare creatures such as kingfishers, kestrels, owls, etc. have the strength to peck their way out of their shells and not only survive but thrive and grow to fledglings in such a short period. Thank you so much for sharing this truly remarkable process with the world. I love the stoats, such beautiful, mischievous little animals. But I do have to say also that your filming of the pond teeming with all sorts of wildlife and the 3 lion cubs in their natural habitat with the pride was outstanding!
    Once again thank you, and may God bless you and keep you safe on your travels. ❤️🙏

    Your stuff is absolutely astronomical, the best I've seen on TH-cam for wildlife stories in the UK. I grew up absolutely in LOVE with raptors and birds in general, a love I maintain to this day. Seeing a hunting Barn Owl quartering a field at Martinmere was a dream come true, and six Marsh Harriers and a Bittern there was a plus I'd never imagined.
    Your stories about your local birds, the raptors in particular, never portray any one species as the villain or 100% innocent either, and that's not an easy tale to weave. Simply put, they're a delight to watch.
    May you have a wonderful Christmas.

    ❤❤Robert: I loved this video. It is awesome. I never knew you were a wildlife artist. I've done art since I was a kid, too, but could not do wildlife. I've hiked in the woods daily since I was 11. We lived across the street from a mountain & I always hiked straight up, always watching wildlife. Still get my enjoyment in nature watching deer, hawks, owls, etc. Love your art. You've led quite an interesting & productive life, especially traveling to see various animal species. Great photography!! I really enjoy seeing the birds in their nests. I watched 10 Mourning Doves fledge in one season. The parents are so proud & loving on each other when that happens. I liked watching the Great Horned Owl mates talk to each other for years down the river before a storm downed limbs on the Eucalyptus tree they nested in yearly. Quite a handyman, too. Thanks so much for bringing all this wonder to your grateful audiences!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
