Moved to Kingston Avenue back in 1982 my parents still live there Bedfont has changed so much. Much preferred it in 80s/90s.

1:17 - The shithole that was Page Road on the left. Lived there for four years. Full of reprobates.

My nan lived in Northumberland crescent

Again thanks for posting only took me ten years to find it , great memories

Well that was a trip down memory lane , thanks for posting Pat , I was glad to see no trees on the grove as i remember it , still nostalgic for me to visit

my old childhood home 144 at 3:23 opposite Gumley house school. Behind the very large advertising signs was my garden. It was massive going the whole length of the alleyway.

Nice bit of history there 😁 thanks for sharing!

Common for hawks to be fearless when rodents are active during harvest.

My nan and grandad used to live down west road. Spent so much time in Bedfont back in the day. Cheers for the video! Nice shot of the crooked billet pub too.

It was quite lovely back then. Sparrow farm.

This bird is beautiful but unfortunately it is very sick this can be seen around the beak and from its behavior which is not… .normal!

A smashing video sir. I felt that you were respecting him/her, and I hope you are right that it was the one you helped :)

Good old days, love seeing all those cars, and clean roads and much more space, todays its all cramp and bicycle lines and smaller roars and ugly cars of todays and trash on roads litter, and so many flats and buildings that look like card board boxes life is just so miserable and dull now compared to 80s and 90s era.

i am so glad that i'm not the only person who does this (takes videos in the car of whats outside while we're going along) i did one from chertsey to cornwall about 10 years ago lol

Some of it is chertsey and shepperton

Only 1 tree left now from the clip at 24seconds

Really love seeing these videos, everything looks so different! There's too many buildings now!!!

I lived in Beech Road from 1981 to 1996, was a great trip down memory lane. Especially the drive down Grovestile Way to the pits at the bottom. Spent many a day in the summer over the old pits on my bike with other kids building camps and starting bonfires. It brought back memories of how the roads have been altered. Feltham is a bit of a dump now, overspill from Hounslow .

And now you couldn't pay me to live there.

Gosh that brings back a few memories for me, particularly towards the end, driving down A316 & turning onto Twickenham Road towards Isleworth, passing the old MFI & trading estate (behind which is Twickenham Rugby Ground & the big Tesco superstore with new housing); then Old Isleworth, war memorial, The George Pub (now no more) & Gumley House Convent School on the right & turning right up World Road towards Hounslow... memories!

is made before thorn security was demolished

Wow I’ve lived in sunbury since 1988 when I was born 30 yrs ago from now and never pictured it like this! Weird how i expected it to change but a lot is still the same! Nice one matey! Love seeing history, thanx

I myself prefer to observe just that bit further away and respect the creatures space. No need to keep pushing `til you find the limit. I agree with others that it`s not 100% fit

Great video Pat.

That's incredible! Thanks for sharing.

That is URS truck passing at 3:20 my dad drove one from 81 to 89, we lived in Hanworth oriel estate in 84, so this could well be me and my dad in the truck, so freaky

Just used this to identify the bird I saw in my back garden in south London half hour ago. Exactly the same. It came down to the bird feeding station where seconds before around 20 tree sparrows were feeding. They all disappeared into the hedges and this Sparrowhawk just appeared. Never seen one as close. Great video.

I'm only 4 years late in finding this vid. Love it.

I have approached a few sparrowhawks close when feeding. The best time was an adult male eating a blackbird. I got to about 2 feet and he was still fine, but i put my hand out and he was off like a rocket. But he came back a few minutes later and took the blackbird away. Another time, a female was eating a young wood pigeon. She was not as tame but allowed my approach to about 2 meters before flight. She also returned for the carcass. Then afterwards , flew up to a fire tree and went to sleep for a couple of hours. She was not bothered at all by me being under the tree. They are not tame as such, but can be bold when feeding. I think they get used to people too. They often fly very close when hunting. One went nearly under my feet once as it bombed around a wall at top speed. Also i got one to fly at me by waving a hanky like a flapping bird. He got to about 3 meters before seeing me and jinking away. Usually when perched and hunting, i find they are fairly wary and wont be approached. Lovely little raptors.

Is this a Accipiter brevipes?

Good vid!

Brilliant video

Born n raised in the grove

The area around the beak does not look good. It looks heavily deformed. My guess is that this bird is very ill.

Awesome

Awesome video

all my old roads bedfont rules,,,,, bedfont close boy

I was born late 1984... lived in Bedfont on the front of the Fairholme Estate from 1992 to 2006... Up to the point before Page Road was taken down,,, it's amazing how little had changed since I was born and looked pretty much the same :O

Thanks for sharing this piece of nostalgia about Bedfont. - www.bedfont.org.uk/

Thank You for posting. I love the low level traffic flow and old stylish cars! How Isleworth has changed too! :)

It was in the hall in Southville Road where Sandbanks is or was

I saw a basketball hoop in the background. Where in Bedfont was this Breakdance party held?

Blimey! He keeps Mum and Dad busy, doesn't he?

Yes it is mystery person lol
