Film that I have made using only trailcams. Lots of wildlife that most people don't even realise is there.
Some of you will recognise where it is, prob even had your coffee club there 😉.

Buzzards, Badgers, Foxes, Roe Deer, Hares, Tawny Owls.
More videos on my channel too.
Enjoy and feel free to share on social media 👍

 
That's great, especially loved the badgers scampering around. They looked like they were enjoying themselves.
 
I like badgers.... but they have decimated the hedgehog population in my area (which is urban) - b&w barstewards!
 
We are fortunate enough to have a couple of hedgehogs, a fox and a red kite that visit our garden daily.

We all love a bit of wildlife. We had some US family over a few weeks ago. They don't have hedgehogs in the us so they caused quite a stir.
 
We went for a walk along the old Hornsea rail trail yesterday and saw a flock of Fieldfare, they were eating the berries off the shrubs. I can’t recall seeing them before, however, they soon legged it when a Merlin appeared on the scene. Our lass is a keen amateur photographer, and she manages to get some really good pics of fauna and flora, some of which have featured on Country File and ITV.
 
Excellent. I have one of those trail cameras as we used to get lots of wildlife in our garden. Until we got the fence fixed. Id love to get some footage but no idea where to start?
 
I loved that thanks. I hike in NYMs but don't see much wildlife anymore. Havent see a dear for years. We have several hedgehogs in our front and back garden. Sometimes owls come, foxes daily. Once had a sparrowhawk make a pigeon kill in the back garden. It was nicely captured on our CCTV. Swooped in and bam

My wife use to help setup camera traps in Zambia, some amazing things to see at night over there :)

If you put it in a public place you need locks ( my first two got stolen)
Find somewhere no one walks off the beaten track. Look for signs that something passes that way ie ground disturbance or tree bark worn or scratched. Make sure the camera won't be triggered by grass blowing or plants moving. My first go had 1000 videos and 950 was grass blowing in the wind 😳.
Try it out at home on a birdbath or feeder to get used to the settings 👍
 
Absolutely fantastic! Really good editing on the video as well.
The only improvement I could possibly imagine is if you could narrate it in the voice of David Attenborough 😂
