Welcome to WildWoodlands SouthWest,where we explore the mysterious and wonderful WildWoods,learning about the Wildlife,and doing projects to benefit the animals,birds and plants. In Summer,we are visited by the mysterious and elusive Nightjar,which will nest at the wood for the summer months. There are also Owls,Woodpeckers,Birds of Prey,Deer,Stoats,Badgers and many more residents of the WildWood.
With Trail and Thermal camera,we are able to get a close up view of these fascinating creatures,day and night.
A Wildlife Pond has recently been built,which is still in the process of getting established,and used by the animals.
Other projects include Camping and survival,Campfire cooking,Plant Nurseries,Shelter building and managing a WildWood in England,come rain or shine!
We will be uploading 4 new Videos every month,and really appreciate all your support,comments and feedback!!

Pond's looking well! Lovely birdsong.
Great accompaniment! The birds certainly seemed to enjoy it. :) Shortwave isn't what it once was over here in the States; I miss listening to my little Realistic 9 band receiver into the wee hours of the morning, catching VoA or the BBC or the mysterious "number stations". Good times. Thanks for sharing, L.
Thanks 🙂Yes,unfortunantly a lot of national stations have disappeared from the airwaves,although there are still some around. There is still lots to find,but one needs to be a bit of a shortwave 'artist' to know how to find it. I'm still a novice,but still manage to find some good stuff. And funnily enough one of the things i like about it is all that fading,crackling and hissing lol. Nice you were a fan of shortwave too 👍
Nice sharing 👍
Thankyou
Lovely puts my garden puddle to shame. Great to drop a hydrophone in there and listen to what’s going on.
Yes,it would be. I will look into hydrophones,and contact microphones. There's a whole world of sound out there. Great work your doing with it 🙂👍🎶
@@WildWoodlandsSW …JRF hydrophones and contact microphones are a good place to start. Good value and good results.
@@soundhobo That's great,thankyou. Will have a look.
Perfect, I also enjoy shortwave 👍
Great to hear,and thankyou. Your resonant sound videos are great,look forward to more. Best wishes from Devon 🌲

"Promo SM" 😅
Graben schaufeln, damit das Wasser ablaufen kann….und zwar ohne Maske!!!
Why in a world are you wearing a mask
They were wearing masking while pouring out bentonite which can be irritating and the standard safety practice is to use mask while handling it. I wear mask while I garden as I am allergic to something and get sick each time. There are people with allergies who like to garden and can use safety precautions. Being safe is not weird.
That question is literally answered in the video. 😅
Hello. Although Bentonite is a natural compound,in its dry form it will swell upto 10 times when in contact with moisture . So any contact with eyes or mouth when applying will cause extreme dryness,which I experienced even with the mask on. Hope that helps.
@@bkgksan9798 Thankyou. Yes,it is irritating until it has swelled 👍🙂
Thanks so much for showing your process. We have half dug out a pond that I would like to be semipermanent but really didn't want to use a plastic liner - looks like bentonite is quite a straightforward option for a small pond.
Hello. I'm happy it was helpful to you Yes,i think its a great natural option,with the added bonus it is easy to add water plants if you like,as they easily take root in the bentonite/soil. I had a water plantain appear on its own,and its coming back this year. The main thing to consider with the bentonite is keeping the edges at a 30degree gradient,no more,so that the bentonite doesnt slip to the bottom. The gentle slope is also beneficial to wildlife,as well as a shallow beach area if possible. All the best with your pond,and thankyou for subscribing! Best wishes from Devon Uk🙂🌲

Thankyou! Your recipes look wonderful,i've started cooking some spicy dishes more recently,so will definently look for inspiration from your cooking videos. Best wishes from Devon 🌲
😊😊😊😊 much appreciate thank you 😊😊😊
Wow, do you have that much greenery already! It's only just starting to spring up here. P.S. We just had our first raccoon visitor to the back garden (!) Do you have a recommended camera for nocturnal visitors? It'd be so cool to film them like you do...
It's actually a clip of a video from last year,and i thought it would do for a channel trailer for now 🙂 It is getting pretty green,particularly the silver birches,but a few of the trees are still in early bud. It really is a lot of fun when you check the TrailCam to see what surprises there might be,so that's great you want to put one out. I've been using the Wimius H8 TrailCam in all weather conditions,and it has done good service,though getting a little tired now after 3 years of use. I'm hoping to get a solar powered one next,but havnt looked into models yet. But i think its the right way to go,as they are situated outside,and it's a bit of a bummer when a lot of wind drains the battery because of branches or something,and you can miss a lot of footage. Hope that helps. Wonderful youve got the raccons coming out,they would be very entertaining i'm sure 🙂👍🦝
@@WildWoodlandsSW -- Thanks so much! I can't recall if you had raccoons where you are, but they are so delightful (even though they can be a bit of an urban nuisance at times).
@@LauraGYoung Your welcome 🙂Unfortunantly no raccoons in my neck of the woods. They are so cute from what ive seen,and seem quite amenable with humans.
Nice footage and music
Thankyou! 🙂
😊👍
Wonderful video and photos 😍
Thanks very much 🙂🌲🦉

Merci ! 😃🥁🌲
Gorgeous birds -- and such a variety of calls! We have around 13-14 species of owl here in Colorado, but I mostly only come across Great Horned owls and Barn owls in our suburban neighborhood. What a lovely introduction to the the ones in your part of the world. Enjoyed, L.
Great,happy you enjoyed our little troupe of owls here in the Uk 🙂 Wonderful that you have so many species there!,but as you say,rarely seen. Which is what makes them so exciting when you do spot one,or at least hear that they are about 🙂🦉🎶

Hello,woww....really fantastic to see this !!! Greetings Gijs
Greetings Gijs Thankyou! The pond has matured nicely,and I'm happy to see the wildlife enjoying their new habitat. Best wishes from Devon 🙂🌲
Awesome work ❤
Thankyou!
Any update videos?
Hello. Yes,there is the second part is titled 'Bentonite Wildlife Pond. Does it work? Phase 2'. The pond has established well in just over a year,so i am happy with the results. You can see it on some of the latest videos also,where the plants have grown up nicely. Thanks for watching,and subscribing
That info in description is perfect, definitely adds more context to the clip
Great 🙂
Nice sharing!
Thanks 🙂🙏
gorgeous 😊 congratulations!🎉
Thankyou 🙂Lovely to see the frogs moving in,looking forward to see how they will get on 👍🐸
Hello, iam just retired and more busy than ever!!! Maybe i will try this out...... Greetings Gijs
Greetings Gijs,good to hear you are keeping busy after your retirement,i hope you have lots of interesting projects you are working on! I like to listen to these ASMR audio sometimes when i am painting,working or sleeping. Best wishes 🙂
Very interesting, thanks for sharing it. May I ask if you could find some “heavy metal/chemical’s free” bentonite ? Just wondering since I’ve read that many producers can’t certify that. Ps: great flat cap, got exactly the same one
Very welcome,glad you enjoyed! I'm not exactly sure about the Bentonite,as far as i understand from the one i used called sodium bentonite,it is a completely natural product,except it can cause dehydration before it contacts water and expands. Good to hear you have the same cap,theyre really great. Thanks for watching 🙂🌲
@@WildWoodlandsSW thanks for your response, much appreciated :) looking forward to seeing your next video and giving a try with this kind of pond
@@hardstylelife5749 Very welcome. I used the 'layer cake' method,which is to put a layer of sodium bentonite,and a layer of soil on top. If you watch the first video,it shows more of the Bentonite application,and how i did it(Building a Bentonite Pond). You can also mix the soil and bentonite together. Best wishes for your pond!
@@WildWoodlandsSW brilliant concept. thanks mate, much appreciated :)
😊
Wonderful
🙂🙏
Checking out the pond, fox seems impressed
Yes,hopefully it will visit more often,as its still quite a rare and fleeting visitor 🙂
Beautiful. The pond is looking really lovely
Thanks Tash. Yes,wonderful nature has put its stamp on it,and looking quite natural now 🙂🙏
Awww! Gorgeous critter. We have foxes as well, but the local population crashed after all the rabbits became ill with tuleremia. Hopefully their numbers will come back one day...
so beautiful and vivid in color/life 🌿
Thankyou. The fox is quite a rare visitor,so its lovely to see it in colour,and looking so healthy 🙂👍🌲
i am always amazed when i see foxes in colour - its rare, but not unheard of if i am in the right place right time, to see a fox in daylight, that one looks very healthy, hopefully it found somewhere to get some peace and sleep!
I thought so too,this one looked very healthy,with a lovely coat. I dont see them often at the pond,so it is nice to catch them on TrailCam occasionally 🙂👍
@@WildWoodlandsSW totally awesome to get them on the trail cam
