Sometimes it pays to avoid wildlife hotspots and look for that path less travelled

In this video I head to a local nature reserve partly due to bad weather but also because Idle Valley nature reserve was chosen as the reserve to release beavers in Nottinghamshire. The first in the county for 400 years. I soon find that a winter Sunday morning is not the place to be for some tranquil wildlife photography so head off onto some less well used footpaths outside the reserve.
