Sparrowhawk Island - THE FILM
After 10 years of studies and 7 years of filming the elusive lives of sparrowhawks a film i was told virtually impossible to make by many wildlife film makers is now in production! The film covers all their breeding season from November in autumn when the male returns to protect his territory through until August when juveniles disperse.
It also covers all of the wildlife that surrounds the nest site and shows why songbirds choose to nest right next to its nest. Lots of special moments have been captured on film, nest building, courtship egg laying, hatching juveniles fledging and catching there first kill and over a dozen songbirds nests also captured on film.
I am working with a BBC editor to put it all together and we are hoping to have everything completed around summer 2012. I will update you all further when its close to being finished and the completed film will be available on DVD.
Regards Dave Culley.
Cornwall - The Wild Peninisula
A great friend of mine has a new DVD out which is available to purchase on Amazon.
'Cornwall - The Wild Peninsula' follows the wildlife of Cornwall throughout the seasons of the year. Most visitors to Cornwall spend their time here visiting the fantastic beaches and tourist attractions, the locals know of another Cornwall - the one where an incredible amount of wildlife lives right here, on our doorsteps. This film is a celebration of those wild treasures. Peter McMurdie is a cameraman based in Cornwall and has worked on many BBC wildlife programmes and films, some of which have been presented by Chris Packham, Mike Dilger, and Nick Baker.
Peter taught me filming skills many years ago when i was just starting out in wildlife filming.
Welcome to Sparrowhawk Island
Sparrowhawk Island is a web site dedicated to capturing live footage of many species of British birds, but mainly the Sparrowhawk as it lives in the wild.
Our live streaming web cams are permanently fixed in our wood in Cheshire, England and capture much of the goings on in a sparrowhawks typical daily routine.

"Not your average cam site...."
This isn't your average online web cam site. Our web cams allow us to follow every aspect of the sparrowhawks life, whether its in the nest, feeding time or the male bringing kills in. You will see the female Sparrowhawk leave the nest and take the kill away from the male to feed herself and her chicks.
We also have web cams focused on our mating and courtship branch and of course a secondary web cam trained on our watering hole.
The rest of the cams are situated throughout the wood in all of their favourite hotspots, this means you're guaranteed a good show.
