    Brilliant video Olly. The Owl capture was incredible. Shocking statistics with Badger culling. Senseless operation has to stop! Great work👍

    Wow!!! What a fantastic lot of wildlife experiences you had! Great footage and pics - the owls were the best! Although I do love hares and badgers and foxes too, lol!
  • @johnbentley4429
    Fantastic video and photos. Look forward to many more adventures with. Fingers crossed for you to get footage of a Badger soon.
  • Such a great video, you really took us along for the journey! No badgers this time, but some amazing photos and videos, especially the Tawnys!

    Great vlog, and you had some decent encounters, and best of all you'll be in a good position when and if you return, to set yourself up and try and find new places for the Badgers, and put yourself in the right spot for some of the other species you saw, it is never a wasted journey working things out. Also, nice and refreshing to see someone not doing a million kit reviews, a few here and there are fine I think but for me it is all about the wildlife, and the process of finding it!
  • Great video Olly a loved that owl footage and no wonder you were shaking, beautiful fallow deer portrait, hopefully the next government will gave the badger's a break from the senseless culling and stop ignoring the illegal fox hunting also, keep up tne great work Olly 👍
  • Fab video Olly. Didn’t know Oxfordshire had so many different types of animals. Will be visiting in August so hopefully will try to get out and explore👍👍

    great video, so sad for us here in ireland that our wildlife here is so bad. Not many wildlife we have here

    Hi Olly I realised early on that Badgers can see the IR light on the camera and will spook them, they actually moved my camera and laughed as they did it, but they settle down and won’t worry once they realise they’re not a danger. I get them in my garden every night they come in after birdseed and peanuts, where I live on the Hertfordshire Cambridge border we have a large Herd of Fallow deer with White Harts amongst them. Keep up the interesting vlogs.
  • I would be a bit nervous photographing a Tawny Owl chick knowing what happened to Eric Hosking, a famous wildlife photographer, loosing an eye to Tawny Owl. I do agree with you about feeding wildlife under the circumstances you mentioned but oddly not if photographing directly which does seems wrong. Also agree what you say about badgers but wouldn’t rely on any potential government to do the right thing when it comes to wildlife.
