Welcome back to you all,
Thankfully now we are able to travel further and for longer so I hope you are all able to enjoy Nature once more.
In this video I have just found a new Fox family near my home in Gweek, Cornwall, this was only my second visit to the site where I managed to get some views of this lovely little family, with some other Wildlife along the way.
I hope you enjoy this video.
Take care of yourselves and others, and stay safe🙏
Kindest regards
Richard 🙂

Brilliant stuff yet again, Richard. Did you know the “five more minutes” rule has now been enshrined in law? 😁 I am still buzzing from an evening out on my local patch - fox, barn owl, two badgers and a hare, all within 100m and just using the car as a hide. Now, where’s that lottery ticket? All the best.

@RichardBirchett 4 жыл бұрын

Lol, I’m liking that:-) 😉👍! Wow, that’s awesome, sometimes the stars align and it all comes together! That’s the great thing about wildlife photography:-) Vehicles are awesome hides, better than any pop up I’ve ever brought. Best of luck with that ticket, all the best🙏👍

Lovely Footage Richard, it was amazing the fox knew there was something not right as it was looking at you all the time, but that is there natural instinct to survive. Well done you.

Hi Si, thanks very much mate. It really is, my old Fox Den had so much more going on but this year it’s very quiet and this was a new site. Wished I had more footage but that’s Wildlife photography for you! Awesome, fingers crossed you get some results, looking forward to seeing them. Cheers🙏👍

@sibarsby2522 4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome Richard! I'm still not convinced the Vixen I'm spending time with has had cubs. I may be in the wrong place. Plenty of other spots nearby where I may have a better chance of cubs though. As you say that's wildlife photography though! The joy of going out and discovering new places and things is all part of it!

Hello buddy - just watched that from my own hide (wearing camo!) in the wood - been watching a badger set for a week or so but no joy yet🤞 great video and what a beautiful moment when the male turns and stares right down your lens! Shame he turned up when he did because the little cub looked like he was fancying an exploration of his own!!! Just another 5 minutes?? Curse of the wildlife photographer and ruination of many a good meal!🤣🤣

@RichardBirchett 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Shaun, thats awesome, and nice one on the Camo, lol! It's hard isn't it, putting all those hours in with little joy, but when you get rewarded with a picture/video or just the experience of seeing them at play it's totally worth it. He had me for sure, didn't quite know what I was but wasn't comfortable to get back to the earth with me there, vey wise. Just a few more mins, lol... Best of luck with the Badgers, I am sure you will get some success:-) all the best Richard

Hi Ruben, thanks very much. The main top, trousers and coat are all British Military Clothing which probably could be purchased through any army surplus stores. The hood and gloves are from Amazon, the links to those are on my last video Vlog in the description under additional equipment. Hope this helps, and thanks again. R

Hi could you please suggest a good entry level camera/lens for capturing wildlife please? I will be doing this for years to come so money isn’t really an option. I have tried to look at reviews etc online and KZfaq but it’s just info overload I’m afraid. Many thanks in advance from Scotland.

Oooh, lovely! Really enjoyed this little encounter with the foxes :) Were you able to leave the hide in place so they could get used to it a bit? I can imagine they would have been a bit wary of the new object in their environemnt at first. I know there are foxes on the golf courses here but I've not (yet) located a den or encountered them in decent light when I've had the camera...

@RichardBirchett 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Geoff, Thanks very much! Unfortunately I wasn't able to due to the Sheep now being back in the field, bit of a shame really but still it was good to see them. Golf courses are awesome places for Wildlife, thinking of doing a Vlog on my local one as i've got permission. I hope you get lucky. all the best R
