After a dearth of wildlife recently, we were treated to a smorgasbord of birds on this walk. As well as the usual expected suspects of Robin, Mute Swan and Mallard Duck, without a doubt, among the highlights were the Treecreeper, Kingfisher and Stonechat.

Some of the footage is not as sharp as we would like but, unless we have hours to wait in each location, it is very difficult to capture wildlife in its natural habitat. Unlike photography, which is just a fraction of a second in time, each clip we take is 5+ seconds in length. During that time, most birds will move much and often very quickly!

There was little drone footage for two reasons; firstly, it was very windy and, secondly, we did not want to disturb the wildlife unnecessarily, so just a few high level views.

All background and natural sounds were recorded during our time filming.

We hope you enjoyed watching as much as we enjoyed walking. If you did, please remember to click the thumbs up (like) button, and leave a comment.
