Filming Geese in the Spring....

In early Spring I setup my Time lapse camera on a Canada Goose nest. I have been working with this pair in my kayak and gaining there trust until they let me near there nest to place my camera and film a few hours at sunrise of there comings and goings. Plus you'll see Flash my local male Mute Swan who nested very close to the Goose nest as did a pair of Great Crested Grebes.

Badger visiting my artificial den!!!!

In this post a Badger visits my artificial den I made for Foxes. After placing a Camera trap on the entrance I found the Badgers were visiting and eating the food I was leaving to tempt in Foxes to checkout my den. I think I heard a Cuckoo calling from the woodland in this video at about 2.28 seconds into the video.

The video below shows the Badger coming out of the den and then returning into the den exiting from another entrance at the opposite end of the den.

Thanks for visiting

Episode 1 Diaries of a Cheshire wildlife watcher

So here it is my first attempt on a longer wildlife video I hope you like as it took me a few weeks to put it together and to find time. From writing and record the narration to finding all the footage/photographs. Then putting it all together and creating something that shows my passion and love for Nature. I am working on Episode 2 which should be released this time next month. I'm also working on a weekly episode called "Diaries of a Cheshire wildlife watcher Notes/Shorts" which will feature more information on one subject rather the longer main episodes which are a combination of subjects, reviews, footage and photographs.

Thanks for watching

Cool evening walk as Autumn sets in

With the season changing from Summer to Autumn I have started going on an evening walk as I really love the evening temperature change as the sun starts to set early and a cold chill fills the air. While the nights are still light and relatively warm I have been doing a different walk each evening. The other evening we headed off on a walk which takes about 30 minutes on a round trip from my home. You get to walk down country roads, over rivers through woodlands and over farmland including crop fields. One thing that stood out was this young llama that seemed curious as we walked past it's field as it grazed with the rest of its family.

A rather nice walk especially as I don't have to go far from home plus on this same walk in the past I have seen Little Owls, Foxes, Buzzards, Hares and Weasels.
