Devizes
Переглядів 1295 років тому
Devizes is a charming little town in Wiltshire, England. In its busy market place is a monument with an interesting inscription. Barry Morris showed me the monument and read out the inscription. I felt he had the right accents and intonation and the story would make a nice little video. On my return to SA Marta Swallow persuaded three of her friends to pose for photographs that tell the story.

The little Kitlitz Plover has always fascinated me because of it habit to cover up its eggs when it sees danger approaching. I filmed this one near Almans kraal dam on my way back from Eastern Cape
From my Patio

I have a very small garden and almost a year ago I was on my patio trying to write something. So much was happening all around me that I could not concentrate and eventually decided to make this video about everything I have seen "from my patio"

Amazing 🤩 Thank you to have shared these pics 🙏
The part at 1:45 looks like part of the most disturbing and chilling horror movie. Alien or Predator?
We witnessed lions mating in africa. The cycle of life is very evident there

Idiot talking in background
Why the tongue is attached to the right nostril and not the left ?are there any evolutionary advantages? Im just curious
In English woodpeckers, the tongue is attached to the left nostril. Same for woodpeckers from other countries where driver's drive on the left side of the road.

See how things has changed. From village chairman's own words, there's zero killing of Amur falcons sins 2013. ua-cam.com/video/kJrPg2rWav0/v-deo.html

Oh WOW - just too wonderful Wim.
if I have this right, as a mole cricket - does the sound vary - with cooling temperatures?
had to know
Woodpeckers are nice until one finds your pipes and bangs on it
Thanks I was curious
Facinating Wim, thank you for the wonderful video!
I love this. Thank you.
Wowwwwww
hey! subscribe to my channel please!
I found several of these on the Mississippi River in SE Minnesota mid July. I knew that they were to big to be mayflies. I had no idea that they could catch small fish while in the nymph stage. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you Dave
Great video.
Nice vid. I've made a vid about a nymph who's attack a damselfly nymph. Nature is beatiful and rough. ua-cam.com/video/WSpufUOlXiI/v-deo.html greetings from The Netherlands.
I loooooove them
Thanks Caoimhe !
what a piece of shit, fuck that dragonfly nymph
Thank you for sharing and explaining. I seem to have a small club of these living in my birdbath (tropical climate). I have been wondering what they're finding to eat. Certainly they are taking care of any mosquito larvae because I have not seen one survive since they appeared!
Wow that was awesome. I saw some fishing lure replicas of these nymphs. I will definitely get some now knowing how they live under water!
Thank you, Spronkk
Does anyone know the species ID for the dragonfly nyphm featured?
Cool~ One question: Why would owls move their heads to judge distance when they have binocular vision?
Very good question ! You've got me as I don't know the answer and will have to go back to my research.It is also possible that what I wrote about shore birds (bobbing up and down) is also incorrect. The owls moving sideways were taken at a rehabilitation centre and it is possible that they moved their heads as a way to show fear or anger. Thanks for your question.
I dont think birds can't judge distance.
Humans do it too, though mostly with eye movement. Basically, because farther objects look smaller than closer ones, and because speed is distance over time, objects further away from us will appear to move slower than objects up close. This effect is known as "parallax." By watching how quickly something "moves past" us when we dart our eyes (or when a bird moves its head), it can provide a secondary means of telling foreground objects from background ones. Parallax scrolling is a common special effect in animation, especially video game animation, to create a sense of depth; and the same effect described above is used by astronomers using telescopes to determine the relative distance to stars. Another benefit is that it provides a three-dimensional view of the object: People rotate objects in their hands, close an eye to slightly shift our perspective, walk around objects, and even switch between standing and lying prone while looking at an object. Birds' head movements would have similar gains. This is why many optical illusions rely on "forced perspective," where the viewer is unable to adequately shift their viewpoint, to fool us.
Save wild animals
I am from pangti the paradise of amur falcon since 2013 not even a single Amur Falcon were killed ☺
Thank you very much for the good news and for having taken the trouble to comment on my video !!!
Just out of curiosity) have you tasted one of those birds ? If yes, how’s the taste? Hehe
@@thatguy-yq6ue yeah I've tested one Before.... It's good but now I'm feeling weird 😂
As always, Wim manages to convey his personal touch on nature, great job!
Thank you thrasimicus
Thank you for reminding me> Truly beautiful!
Well done Wim. Beautiful. It needs to be seen.
Absolutely brilliant Wim!! Congratulations - will spread it as widely as I can>
I like how I'm slowly learning about real woodpeckers just because I've been watching so many Woody woodpecker videos
