Our (Almost) Friendly Neighbourhood Fox: Views From The Growing Is Great Garden

This is a video of a fox that visits the field behind my home each day. He knew I was watching him and still came closer, rather than running away, which is why I call him “almost friendly”. Please forgive the movement and resolution of the video, it was in unexpected sighting I happened to have my phone on me to film. I will try harder to hold still next time. If you like watching blue tits, coal tits, long tailed tits, willow tits, great tits, greenfinches, goldfinches, robins, warblers, sparrows, greater spotted woodpeckers, collared doves and starlings, amongst other birds, then this is the channel for you. I livestream the 100’s of birds that visit my garden each day, from around 7.30am to 5pm, times vary depending on the activity of the birds. The birds have a lovely harmony amongst themselves, with a variety of birds feeding together calmly (although the starlings can get a bit squabbly between themselves, they usually resolve this by stretching to look the tallest or opening their beaks the widest). We even have more than one robin living in peace, you can usually see them for their longest feeds at the start and end of each day but they visit throughout the day. The blue tits, coal tits, long tailed tits, willow tits and great tits are plentiful and totally delightful. I love watching how gracefully and socially they feed. They seem very friendly and playful and don’t fly away when I go into the garden. They are all lovely and you never know what you will see. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I do. Happy Birdwatching All! I hope that everyone gets to enjoy nature everyday, as it's good for health and wellbeing, even if you can't get out into it, watching it can still help, as research suggests that viewing nature scenes (or being out in nature) can have up to 13 beneficial effects on our health and wellbeing, such as helping us to relax, reducing depression, quicker healing, bolstering the immune system, lowering stress levels and increasing lifespan (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...) So I hope this livestream helps to bring a sense of peace and wellbeing to you and all that watch it. Please like and subscribe if you would like me to keep streaming and thank you for watching!
