I'm dying at 8:36 when we see the "after" of the robin's work. She looks so proud and like she's staring directly into the camera like "Yeah, I built this, pretty cool, huh?"

I always find it astonishing just how much work goes into building a bird's nest, and of course they often end up looking very well constructed and very comfortable. Beautiful photography Stefano and I love what you are doing over there. I wish a lot more people in the world had your caring mindset when it comes to nature.

I'm just so glad this channel exist, the tippy tapping of the nest building was just precious

As a biologist, both as a profession but also as a hobby, your videos are a treat! Thank you!

I live in a very suburban area so I don't get to see vareity species of anything. You're videos is a really refreshing view of the natural beauty of the world. Like you, I try to protect and help the animals already in my area. Even if it's just a couple native garden lizards I'm making shelter and providing water to, its so pleasing to see the help provided give light to new life. Each year I enjoy seeing baby lizards exploring my planted yard. I can't imagine what it's like seeing all the hard work you're putting into your acres of beautiful land come to fruition. Way to go!

7:55 MISS ROBIN STOMPING THE NEST TIPPY TAPPING HER WAY DIRECTLY INTO MY HEART 😭😭😭😭 Thank you Stefano for this gift of the precious sound, we are never taught that bird moms stomp that mud into shape when building nests! For the fish, I vote small fish preferably native, that are able to breed in such a small pond. Otherwise you will have to restock it every year to make the kingfishers come over. Hopefully your ponds will lure kingfishers away from fish farms so they wont get poached by angry farmers...

Your videos are always such an absolute joy. Beautiful photography, entirely pleasant voice-over, and the sheer pleasure of watching nature do its thing. Thank you so much for making these, they always brighten my day.

Man, thank you so much for creating such beautiful things. I find myself falling into negativity online more often than not, and you provide solitude and inspiration and move my KZread recommendations in a better direction :)

Stefano, I’ve been working for years documenting what remains of Michigan’s primeval pine stands and old growth forests. The forest of yesteryear is maturing and new giants are emerging. Through the ax, the saw, the plow, fire, wind, and ice, life remains! Thank you for returning your land back to what it once was, generations ago. Let us undo the destruction, replant what was lost, and heal the earth back to her natural state.

Great idea with the vernal pond! As for the trout stocking, I vote for the smaller ones. I would love to see some kingfisher action! Also, really cool being able to witness birds up close and personal building nests. Thanks for sharing this awesome wildlife footage with us!

Always enjoy your videos!! I really appreciate how you share your wealth of knowledge as to how and why you do your projects. I share all of them with my wife and now she has started looking at different properties and mentioning how we could have a pond, wildflowers, fruit trees and she even wants to build a sunken blind like you had previously, since we both are avid bird and wildlife photographers too. Keep the videos coming....more, more, more!!! 😊 I understand your projects take time, and then there is the whole video production process, so I'm just being selfish and teasing, but will never complain if you do upload more, even if they are shorter. 🙂

This is my new favourite series, I live on the other side of the world so it is so interesting to see all the native wildlife you get! Very jealous of your amphibian diversity.

I have the biggest goofiest smile in the world when I watch your videos. Thank you Stefano, for all that you do for nature and us! I love watching all the different species of animals pass by and nest in and around your property!

Gosh, I love it here. Please never stop making these. Living through you!

Stefano, you're being a good human. Thank you.

I vote for the smaller trout. You’ll get kingfisher now, and maybe osprey once they’re bigger! Great video as always

I have a strong pair of eastern phoebes who nest under my house's upstairs balcony yearly. They are such a joy to watch flit about and hunt nearby! I can't wait to see what new birds arrive as spring develops into summer!

I absolutely love your videos - I can watch them for days nonstop. What you are doing is what I want to do!

You videos are always such an enthralling watch - As someone that lives in a built up area of the UK, I find overwhelming joy in watching you encourage such a diverse and beautiful array of animals back to your property. The world needs more people like you sir 🤟

Stefano, I enjoy reading and agreeing with all of the wonderful comments about you and your videos, almost as much as your videos. You are a wonderful inspiration to me and I look forward to all of your new videos. All the best to you!

Iv just bought a property in the uk with just over an acre of woodland this channel has really inspired me to invite nature into my home loving the series!!

I watch, I learn, I smile. Thank you for all your editing and narrating efforts, the end result is captivating. You are an amazing steward of land and wildlife.

What a privilege to live in such gorgeous place, surrounded by nature. Thank you, Stefano, your videos are always amazing, high quality and engaging.

gosh i hope people get inspired by this sort of thing! rewilding is so so necessary in this day and age

Thankyou for the video and the hard work you put into transforming the property. Seeing the Robin build her nest made me so happy. Glad that frogs are already laying in the vernal pond.

Amazing work! You take marginal land and turn it into an eco-haven. I wish more people understood problems with pine plantations the way you do. In Germany, people protested an abandoned cardboard farm getting cut down for an EV factory. Yes, there were bats and maybe a total of 6 non-insect species there. A natural forest would have dozens of birds and other higher species. Michigan has so much rural land that lends itself to projects like this being integrated in a permaculture farm which produces food for both people & wild animals.

I appreciate so much how much care you put into reintroducing native species and encouraging biodiversity - lots of people just want the aesthetic but don’t do any research what would be best for the ecosystem. Maybe one day you could make a video how you approached this, so other amateurs can create a garden/homestead that‘s beneficial to nature :)

Robins are my favorite birds! So cool to get to observe them nesting up close. I can't wait to see the babies!

Fingers crossed the videos become more frequent through this year, I really look forward to them. Thanks Stefano.... you're living the dream!

Hey Stefano, I always wait for your videos. I failed my entrance exam twice and the only relief I get from anxiety is through your videos. Therefore I request you to upload more such videos.

I’m so happy about the progress. You’re really giving it your all! 👏👏👏

Your knowledge and passion for your project really shines through. You give inspiration to those of with only small city gardens. We can all help nature by providing native plants, a water source, trees and bushes for shelter etc.

Your videos are truly fun and amazing! Thank you.

Nature is so amazing! Can't wait for your next video.

I love this type of video, it’s so relaxing and entertaining. Funny story: my mom has these hanging flowers in our garden. Well apparently they were the perfect home for a pair of Cardinals. They made a nest and had three healthy chicks. It was pretty cool. As for the trout situation, might want to consider what you want out of your fish. If you’re looking for a breeding population then go with the larger ones. Want to attract more wildlife go with the bigger ones. Or if possible do a mix of big and small.

what an incredible view of the nest-building! 🐦 the pond is already looking great, i'm blown away by how many things you take into consideration when you're constructing these new habitats. can't wait for the next video!

the wildlife pond's water is very pure

A real treat, as always, Stefano!

Watching all these videos about wildlife and nature is so distressing when we now see more and more people only talk about how they became millionaire. I think Stefano's videos are one of my most liked videos of KZread, since they are so pleasant to watch 😁😁

I hope to see more from the aquatic perspective of the homestead. I'd love to see more about the Amphibians, Aquatic Invertebrates, Fish, and other animals that live near water.

The projects you're completing are looking amazing. Thanks for sharing this update! 😊

For the Trout pond you might think about adding some old cement pipes for the fish to hide in so they don't all get eaten, plus add some reeds around the edge of the pond. sunken logs branches those sorts of debris are good habitat for your fish to hide.

Birds are such fascinating creatures. They very often get ignored or treated as a nuisance, especially pigeons and seagulls, but just watching them is such a treat.

Love this series! Can't wait to see the site in full bloom! Thank you for sharing!
