Hi newbie here, I'm looking for some feedback on my clips if possible.

Any advice you could give would be great thanks.

The SD size clips say they are Pal clips(they are Pal dimensions anyway) but are in the ntsc frame rate. . .not sure what thats about. Resting fox is probably your best clip but the colours seem washed out to me. Moon shots are too common to have a chance of selling. Bird shots are too distant and the lighting is dull. Squirrel nice shot but again lighting is a bit dull. Fox shot not great composition as he leaves but you will get that of course with a remote camera on a tripod.
IMO you need to work on exposure, composition and some more viable subjects if you want to have success selling stock video clips.

I would suggest adding a little more contrast and brightness to your clips in your video editing application. It's sometimes called "adding an S curve". It will add a little more "pop" to your videos.

This article explains about it:

Wood Pidgeon 2 kind of reminds me of http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/08/12/article-1206018-0609210C000005DC-373_634x421.jpg about half way through the clip.

Thanks for the article kelmedia thats just what i've been looking for. I'm a complete newbie to editing and especially colour correcting. Going to go for quality rather than quantity with my future uploads.
