Hi Everyone, I really hope you enjoy this video. It took far long to edit than expected and I poured a lot of energy into it, so please do like and leave a comment. I’m not sure when I’ll get the next video out but hopefully the next episode will be out soon! 🐧

Hello from Northern California....after dealing with the annoyances of city life, traffic and trash and just NO thank moments around me. I could not click on this beautiful video fast enough. I am a nature girl, not a cement, asphalt and tall building kinda soul. So, when I return home, to the more calm and woodsy parts of my home, I am at peace and Dani's videos are a goddess send for easing my over stimulated brain. Thank you, for sharing images of the beautiful ducks, the arctic sea and for sitting in a little floating hut for these beautiful shots. My you have abundance, lots of happiness and love.

The way you speak is so easy to understand for non native English speakers, I could listen to your voice for hours ! 🎧 I love the new squirrels shots 📸.

Superb video from start to finish. Around the 19:00 mark, when the surreal music rises to meet the falling snow is when the video becomes awe inspiring, like I'm not just "seeing nature" with my eyes, but witnessing it.

A perfect illustration of what I miss, and why I left, my home country. Beautiful nature but freezing cold. Love you vids.

The time and effort you put into your vlogs is so very much appreciated. They are stunning and an absolute joy to watch. Thank you!

Dani, I barely get 30 seconds into your content before hitting the "thumbs-up" button. Keep doing what you do, Cheers ~ Peter

Dani posting a new video reminds me that it's time to flip to the May page in the Red Squirrel calendar 🐿

Wow. This armchair adventurer thanks you a thousand times. What a delightful peek into another world. You guys get better all the time!

A piece of trivia about eiders that I find very interesting: As you probably know, the eider's down feathers make for some of the best and most sought-after stuffing for pillows and duvets. For centuries, they have had a kind of symbiosis with humans, especially in the Lofoten and Vesterålen area, where people build little shelters for them which the eiders use when they lay eggs and for the first while after they hatch. The humans provide protection against predators during this period, and in return, when the birds leave the shelters, the humans collect all the down feathers which is then used for duvets and pillows and possibly other products as well.

Simply amazing, everything, thanks for taking us there.

Båtsfjord one of many Fishing villages and communities in Northern Norway, not easy to travel to and can be very remote and cute off from the rest. Interesting and kind People live there I Hope you could experience that. Thank you for sharing those amazing shots from the birds they are looking so cute 🙏❤ Best regards from more South in Northern Norway.

If you travel some day to the Canadian forests, be very careful with "Lyme" disease, transmitted by ticks that are added as parasites in moose, deer and other animals in those forests ..... congratulations and thanks for this report. Cheers from San Luis Potosí México

Hi Dany, first f all many many thanks for all your efforts and depriviation to provide us such incredible shots and footage. You can be proud you did such great shots. In such condition I would dying soon, to cold, to wet. Yes, as long as you take care of your toes and keep them warm(the old people did well with paper in their boots) your whole boddy would feel warm as well. Anyway, hope your nose recovered soon as well. You have a damned good character when you still can smile and making jokes in such conditions. Waiting for your next adventure, CU

What beautiful ducks! The flight shots were great. It can't be easy braving the cold for long periods. Your work is beautiful Dani!

You always find something to photo, always inspiring. So soothing, the gulls in beauty scavengers keeping our planet clean💕

So enjoyable, that was so lovely and peaceful. You looked soooo cold and tired there though, and yet still got so many fantastic shots! Professional!

If the sight of those beautiful ducks gliding along doesn’t calm an overactive mind, I don’t know what will!

EXTRAORDINARY! The slow motion videography was just MAGICAL. And I had no idea gulls flew that far north! They looked like lesser black-backed gulls and how incredible to see their intricate nests among the sills of the building! And I loved seeing your joy after the boat ride. You're an adventurous spirit and it flows right into your viewers! On day two I swear I almost cried at the beauty you captured of the gulls. They are my favorite sea bird! You left me awestruck! I'm curious if Orcas come into the harbor to eat them? Well done on this second of the series, Dani!

Thanks Dani for taking me here 😎👍🌹🇨🇦

Hi Dani, thank you for the wonderful photos and videos. It's good that you also show the hardships you have to put up with. You often don't think about how hard it is to get such photos. You have a wonderful sense for telling your stories in such an divertissant way that I'm always surprised how quickly a video like this ends. I wish you continued wonderful adventures and experiences and I am glad that you let us be part of it. Greetings from Germany

Wow Dani, that was amazing! The King Eider was splendid as was the Stella's Eider. Loved all the video. Thanks for posting, best regards, John.

Such an awesome episode! ♡♡♡

Well Danni as usual all I need do is look out my windows and listen to the ruckous of the nesting seagulls, which accommodate the surrounding roofs where the next generations will fly from in months to come. And Aberdeen in Scotland being an old past generations sea port for Herring and Haddock, most fish landed are refrigerated in boxes so not a draw as such to the waiting gulls . The things you guys and gals put your bodies thru is incredible, trust your toes have thawed out and no frostbite recorded ?

Love especially the shots of the stellar eiders chasing each other on the water (17:02 in) and the gulls in flight against the blue of the boat, and nesting. The museum is charming and the Hide is the Lap of Luxury! Stay Warm. Great work, what a pleasure to see.

The long tailed duck is too adorable!

Hi Dani, I have just found your channel and I am already really enjoying your content, Your gentle , almost serene demeanour is enchanting… your natural beautiful reflects that of the natural surroundings of your ‘office’ . Thank you for coming into my little world. I look forward to seeing a lot more of your art. God bless. Grandpa Chris.

How absolutely magical! What a life you lead Dani, thanks for sharing it.

Thank you for another beautiful video Dani, all your work brings so much joy and is so brilliantly done! My maternal great grandfather was Norwegian but I never met him and know little of his life, but I'd really love to visit the land of his birth but I doubt I ever will, so thank you again for showing me what he might have experienced in his early life. And chickens shovelling snow is not something seen every day!! 🙂

Talk about dedication to the Art Dani...... Wonderful video... :-)) xx

The Common green feathers are awesome.. what a beautiful sight.. 😮

They are sooooo ADORABLE! I love your passion for wildlife ❤❤❤❤

I've been to Norway, it's the coldest place I've ever been! Especially up North near the Attic, I visited Bergen, then drove through the Mountains up north to an island called Giske. At one point on the drive a Giant Moose jumped out of the forest on one side of the mountain road right in front of the car! As we looked back at it just standing majestically with his huge Antlers (?) in the middle of the mountain road framed either side by two huge mountains, I thought to myself, that shot would win any nature photography competition! But by the time I got out the car and started edging closer.....he jumped over the small barrier and bounded back into the steep mountain forest! It was an amazing animal encounter though. It's As close as I'll ever get to the Pole! As well as being the coldest place I ever been (beyond cold!), it's also the most beautiful Country I've every seen....by far! When you've seen things like a massive lake so still the surface looks like a giant perfect mirror reflecting two huge snowcapped mountains either side it takes your breath away. 😮❤🙏

Thanks!

Wow, this was an awesome video. Both the wildlife and from the shore, with the "museum" and all. A proper job, Dani.

Watching fron South Africa. The quality of your videos and photography is outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

What great footage you were able to capture Dani. The ducks looked fantastic.

I think your so cool and cute omg!! I love your content. good job.

Very good video, Thanks for visiting. See you next time. 😁

Beautiful shots. You are both willing to freeze your toes for natures beauty 🦆

I did have a question about the bathroom, but best I not bother, free iced coffee no complaints here, beautiful filming and photography. Thank you.

I know it's a lot of work, but it's cool to see you doing more documentary / travelogue videos about the places you travel to. But don't forget your roots. We expect to see squirrels!!!!

Lovely shots of the gulls in flight!

Everything about all your videos is so beautiful. You have been blessed with a great talent. Thanks for bringing that beauty to us.

Another brilliant video. The stellers eiders had almost all moved in early june but there were some. Love the king eiders. Fascinating to see the old pictures. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks. How much smaller the Stellers are compared to the other species.

What a treat to watch you at your work. Love your photos. Love your calendars. Love learning about all your wildlife friends & the places you visit. Thank you so much.

EXTRAORDINARY! Love what you do and your commentary! well done!

Owh Dani! what do i love your content! I always feel very relaxed watching your videos and i can see that you put a lot of love into them! Amazing storytelling, editing and soundddesign! Keep up the amazing work! I know how much time it can take to make videos like these as a editor myself!

Beautiful video, I loved watching the ducks all preening together. I can appreciate the work that’s gone into it. 😊

Amazing video Dani, we loved every minute. So wonderful and peaceful. We can't wait to see more in this series

Добрый вечер. Мне очень понравилось. Замечательный фильм.

This video is spectacular, Dani! Thank you for sharing your special gift with us. I feel like I have just been on a trip to the Arctic.

Danke Euch fürs Teilen.

Your videos are beautiful Dani! I love to appreciate the landscapes and wildlife. Thanks for sharing these beauties with us

Great editing and music choices. ❤

The King eider - Somateria spectabilis - is just magnificent! I see the odd one sneaked into a pack of Common eiders once in a while, and you would think it would be easy to spot, but they are sneaky little bastards. Well worth it though.

Thank you for sharing your adventures. Beautiful

Was that a group drone or did they all just allow you to set up your personal drone to get some of the above boat pics?.... never a dull moment, you are the next best thing to being there. If I wasn't an old man on a fixed income, I would definitely be a patreon member. I'm looking forward to more@!

What absolutely exquisite ducks they are, you got some fantastic images!

Awesome video!

I'm so impressed what You two do be able to get those pictures and videos of the wildlife. Thanks for sharing.

Good video to relax and wonder what it's like in beautiful places like you are in. Be Good!

Another cool adventure!😂 Wish we had Steller's Eiders here. We have the Common Eider and I think sometimes the King Eider.

Absolutely spectacular photos of the Aider Ducks and Kittiwakes. Such beautiful birds. The Eiders were gorgeous! It must have been brutally cold in the Hide and on that boat ride, but well worth it! Jenny

awesome adventure and experience! Very envious! thanks for sharing!

What a marvelous experience! Thanks for taking me along!

Just wonderful! Thank you for making this one! And Great Job!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thks Dani for another stunning video. The stills are also brilliant especially those taken against a dark background & some shots of individuals on the water. The scenery is beautiful.

Excellent photography ! Been there myself as an almost local nature photographer :-) Got my best photos early in the season (early feb) in the light from the boats lanterns..
