1. Spring is finally here! The forests are filled with birds, the first flowers are out, and the insects are buzzing. It's the best time of the year ????

2. Idk what happens behind the scenes, but you have such a nice life, you’ve really made it

3. Love this series! Makes me want to move out into the woods 🙂

4. Exquisite camarawork, love the underwater shots as well 🙂

5. You live in paradise, my friend! Thanks for sharing it with us!

   I picked up fishing as a hobby while recovering from a cycling accident a couple of years ago. Now I picked up wildlife photography while recovering from a more severe motorcycle accident. Looks like those two will go along together quite well.

6. Your videos are always so well built and interesting! Awesome as always!

7. You are living my dream! Your respect and knowledge of nature is rare nowadays. Can’t wait for the next vid ????

8. I feel like there's a whole backstory with you and that chickadee and he/ she might be your new (literal) wing-man. Really fascinating stuff about the salamander and frog eggs. More deadfall in and around the pond might be helpful for habitat, and curios to see what you get in the way of aquatic plants. Can't wait to see what happens through the season!

9. White throated sparrow, my all time favorite song ????

10. Wonderful video footage – above & below water! Thanks for sharing!

11. What a great video!! Thank you for all your hard work! The birds already love you, LOL I was so amazed when the Chickadee landed on your hand, I'll admit, I'm jealous. Can't wait for the next video!!

12. What is the bird at 1:37

13. Can you make a waterfall on 1 of the ponds for the frogs or for over animals

14. You're an inspiration! Loving that I can live vicariously through you 🙂 Keep it up!

15. Another lovely video. TYVM for registering your experiences and sharing with us!

16. If you take the egg masses, move them in a protected area and feed the tadpoles with flakes of baked chicken, you'll enormously increase their chance of survival.
    P.S. It's best not to drag the fish on the grass.????

17. Bro u live in a dream !

18. It's going so well! What a beautiful place, you're living the dream. This video was packed with awesome shots. It almost seems effortless, but it's not, the quality speaks for itself, weeks and weeks of footage perfectly put together.
    The scene with the bird landing on your hand was totally unexpected and cute.

19. I've loved all of your videos for quite a while and really enjoyed you mini wildlife pond updates before you moved but these last few have been on another level, it's so awesome that you've worked hard enough to now have all of this to work with! Each episode is almost a cliffhanger and leaves me eager for the next, thanks as always Stefano!

20. Maybe half submerged rocks or some slopped rock edges at the pond would be good. Reptiles love to sun!

21. So nice to see a video from you today, like you're waking up from hibernation.

22. You're turning into a Disney Princess. Birds just flying up to you.

23. thank you for this, its amazing

24. this was a great video!!!!

25. All those warblers coming down to the pond is a great sign, you should be getting ( or already have ) some different species that move later, I can't wait for your spring migration video you put out nothing but the best, thanks Stefano, fantastic video!

26. Some tree branches in the water at the edge of the water are for sure a welcoming habitat for smaller fish and other aquatic life. And birds love it too. And a bigger tree trunk with some moss growing on it provides a nice picture as well.

    Maybe that you can expand one of the ponds with a wetland habitat that is sometimes very wet, and sometimes dry, instead of just letting the water run of in the woods. I follow the mossy earth channel, they do these large wildlife restoration projects, and I learned from them why wetlands are so beneficial for wildlife, and how well wetlands are for reducing the co2 levels. And it would greatly improve the bio diversity of animals and plants. Amphibians love wetland habitat.

    And if possible some water lily's? I am not sure if the climate in your area is suitable for water lily's but if so it would attract dragonflies, and provide shade for the pond and the fish. Dragonflies are by far my most favorite insects. And they are the most successful hunters from all the animals with lightning speed and with an astonishing 98% success rate !!

    Solitary wasp houses would be greatly beneficial as well. They help to keep the mosquito population under control. And the solitary wasps are not the aggressive wasps.

    And less pine trees and far more flowers, flowers, and flowers. You can't have enough flowers. A huge ????from the Netherlands.

27. ????????????????????????

28. You have great wildlife rezerve, not pond… great variety of species… loving it.

29. Wonderful experience watching this video. Thank you!
