Just beautiful Joel. What a fantastic array of fauna and flora. I just loved watching. I'm sure the lack of sheep makes such a difference. A beautiful film thank you.

I love a dawn chorus, though if I hear one the pleasure is usually tempered by exhaustion, because I rarely get up on purpose at that time. If I'm awake at that hour it's usually due to having suffered a sleepless night! Nevertheless, I find listening to the dawn chorus always banishes a bad mood, it's a treat of nature that your mind can't ignore.

Just magical THANKS SO MUCH, really lifted my spirits.🤗

[williammallender]

Having, in my younger days, walked round much of the Pyrènees I love this video, just angry that, nowadays, my body will not follow my imagination. Thanks

[ChopsyMiche]

Thank you for sharing something so so beautiful. What an incredibly peaceful and moving place, I feel enriched after watching this.
This is like a piece of heaven on earth. All that incredible wildlife and fauna enjoying such a truly precious habitat. seeing such beauty is truly mesmerising. It definitely leaves footprints on your heart.
I hope I dream of this tonight x

❤ watching this, so interesting, relaxing 😌. Beautiful scenery 🦋 🏔️, just 👍🏻 Joel. Have a nice weekend

[lyndalambert]

Just wonderful to see Joel! So many memories came rushing back from my times in the mountains pre 2009.Couldn't manage those dodgy tracks nowadays so thanks for doing it for me😂🙏

Wow, the best Butterfly adventure, amazing scenery. What you were saying about the mountain roads was reminiscent of our drive across the Rockies, and the colour of the lake water was very much like Lake Louise, at least on your walk you didn’t have to be mindful of bears he he. Chuffs are being bred in Kent to be rereleased at some point which is quite exciting. Ty for sharing an amazing holiday. Regards

We've just watched your video on your day out in the Pyrenees on the big sceen, wonderful It brought back so many wonderful memories of our walking holidays in the alps ( Switzerland, Austria Italy and France ). In fact it's inspired me to make a short video of my Small Scree Garden as the season progresses and intercut it with a few high mountain meodows with all their wonderful flowers
we've had the privilege to experience, best wishes David & Audrey.

Wow, breath taking footage, we watched in awe! My husband wondered if the blue flowers were common milkwort, as we may have seen something similar on the outer Hebrdes. He liked the feature stones that you put on offer and wondered whether a small stick of dynamite in your backpack might help 😉

Gorgeous surroundings🥰
Love all the wild flowers, natural stone and the ponds and streams.
So tranquil and serene🥰

Friday 3 march we will receiving the keys of our new home.
I will be soon after that digging my first pond.
How can I determine how many and what types of plants I need from your webshop?
And if I place an order, how long does shipping to The Netherlands take?
I will try to buy fleece and lining local to me, a garden centre had fleece available.
Don't know about their stock now.
And we have a garden centre in our new village, where they have pond supplies to.
So ordering plants will be the only thing I want to do through the Wild Your Garden shop.

Now this is a place I’d love to go loving the weekly videos joel keep them coming 🐸💚🐸

[twotonenavy]

Absolutely wonderful, Joel! This is just what I needed today! Thank you for brightening up my gloomy, icy winter day.
I would love to visit the Pyrenees one day. I’ve always been a huge cycling fan (and a former cyclist), and always loved watching the Tour de France, especially when they were in the Pyrenees, but they never slowed down to notice the wildlife and nature. Absolutely lovely!
Best wishes- John

Hi Joel What a fab video. you are so lucky to go to such beautiful places. We are off to Austria this year(Sound of Music country). Looking forward to that.
Our first frogspawn had arrived yesterday morning. I started a wildflower bank at our local tennis club last year. It was a bit late in the season so only got a few things in so this year I'm trying to get more done using seed I have saved from our garden. Fingers crossed it grows. I'll send photos in the summer if it does.

[SnugglesPlays]

Wow. Stunning. Unbelievably beautiful, I could stay there forever and ever and be at peace with the world. You are so lucky to be there. 🙂❤

[jaymurtagh]

Great video Joel, I skied for about 15 years in pyrenees. Lovely to see the amazing flora and fauna that appear in the summer time.
Now I want to visit in the summer just to enjoy the nature

[rebeccalane]

absolutely amazing Joel. Another great show of nature, thank you for letting us all join you on this wonderful trip.

[itsmewende]

Every second of this was stunning. Thanks for having us tag along. Living where there's not a hill in sight, I'd have to prepare for that outing. Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend.

Amazing scenery and wild flowers! Lovely to see untouched wilderness. Thanks for sharing Joel!
