Here's a sight I thought I'd never see - a swimming fox!? It swam over to a small island and returned with (what I think is) a swans egg. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has witnessed this behaviour before!

Incredible to witness a 45 second chase by pair of peregrine falcons after a pigeon! I wanted to keep this sequence back for the final film, but as it’s still a few months away from completion I had to share on YouTube: youtu.be/wkNeehdkKeM?si=n9TJ…

I left my job as a building surveyor 5 months ago now to pursue wildlife filmmaking as a career and haven't looked back (vet)! I have no qualifications or professional experience, so l've been making my own films to learn the ropes... #wildlife #wildlifefilmmaking – at Bristol, England
