100th Post

Hi everyone, just a quick post about the blog at the moment and what to expect. It is my 100th post so I thought it would be a good chance to talk about the blog currently. Over the last 4 years, I have been out taking photos and videos of the wildlife in the UK. In the future, I would like to get some footage of wildlife from other countries, but right now I am trying to see most British species. My main plans for the coming years are similar to what I am doing now; put the camera trap out and record my local wildlife. However, we have lately bought a campervan, meaning we might be able to go to more places across the country. My number one UK target is a wild boar, so it is likely that we will back at the Forest of Dean next year. If you have any other suggestions for where we should go, please leave them in the comments below. Anyway, let's have some fun and have a look at my favourite bit of footage from each year. 

2020

When I first started my blog I did not expect to get anything as exciting as a fox or badger. However, on its second night out, it caught our first-ever badger. Go check out my post 'badger sighting' to watch the full video.

2021

In 2021 I didn't put the camera trap out much, but when I did we got some good footage. For example, the fox having a poo would probably end up on my top ten of all time. However, nothing could compare to seeing my first-ever badger in the flesh.

2022

2022 was a good year for the blog, up until my camera got taken in Notts Forest :( - we did get a new one :).  2022 was also when I did my first yearly ranking. The number one spot was awarded to our first- ever roe deer. 

2023

In 2023, the number one spot was awarded to the animal I wanted to get on the camera trap the most. It was a tawny owl, and I have only had one since.

2024

2024 is going to be the toughest year by far to decide my top ten. I have an idea of what the number one might be, but you will have to wait until the end of 2024...

That is all for today's post. Thanks for all the comments and views over the last 100 posts. I know there was nothing new in this post, but the celebrations will continue over the next few VERY exciting posts. Stay tuned for more.
