As I read your piece, a sparrowhawk swooned down, quick as a flash onto my veg plot and grabbed unsuspecting prey feeding on porridge oats that I had left out for the birdies. Being an amateur, I reached for the bird book to confirm what is a rare sighting in these parts. Could it be a sign that you are spreading vital information? Bitterly cold here today in the east of Ireland. Keep up the good work.
A lovely tonic this morning. Your attention to, and moving in and out of, the close up details as well as the larger landscapes is lovely, and I enjoyed the crescendo of the music as the bird at the end (what is it?) dips under. I used to live around here for a little while and run around the wetlands and enjoyed the Waltham Forest festival too which was very focused around well-being, nature, it’s a lovely area!
Lovely. I am fortunate enough to live in an area where I can encounter most of the elements which you so beautifully weave together here, and yet assembled like this they present a deeper beauty and joy. Ordinary things, places, creatures are so extraordinary. And too often we take them for granted - if we notice them at all...

Great spot - a sparrowhawk in flight is a gorgeous thing.
Swiftest of recoveries to you! Handysides' art is really engaging, thanks for sharing it.

always lovely to hear from a local person! The bird at the end is a cormorant - big diving bird that likes to fish. Thanks for watching!
Cute coot 'cubs'!
Excellent cinematography, Thomas...it soothes the soul. Whenever we are down, nature is always there for us.
Fantastic!
"the benefit comes from doing the work rather than fussing about perfection. It’s about the process - not the end result".
So true!
Wonderful video. I also like making nature videos with just scenes of nature and music. I guess I should post some of them. :)
Thanks for sharing yours.
Whoa! Such a great video! It reminds me of some of Marcus Warner's work. Maybe you'd be interested in that 🤷♂️😊

So very beautiful. I hope you feel better soon ❤️✨
Thank you! 🥰
Your work brings me peace. Thank you! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
