The Reality of Bird Photography in the UK - Visiting a Nature Reserve On a Wet Windy Day

I think it's so important and refreshing to see professionals also feel the pain of challenging visits! As a newbie to photography, it can be disheartening seeing pucture perfect visits all the time on social media when the reality is rather different! Very entertaining 👏

Excellent video. More of this type please 👍👍

Thanks for this Miguel you are showing everyone how hard it is to do wildlife photography. Whenever I go out to my local reserves it’s like this most of the time lol, and always wishing I had a longer lens. Keep em’ coming 😊 cheers Doug

I like these type of vlogs Paul, they show what most of my days out for bird phptography have been lately! I'm sure I'm not alone, but it's 'good' to see that even the Pro's suffer the same fate sometimes 🙂

Made me laugh this one Paul ... exactly like most of the days I spend on a reserve 😂

More Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve trips! And good tips for making best of poor weather!!

Excellent video Paul really love flying geese and woodpecker great filming like the longer videos 👏👏👏

Yep, more of this style please 👍😊

Honest failures from pros are reality. Those videos are really important for all nature lovers. Things don't always go as planned. Effort = A. Thanks for your video !

Love this style of video. Very relatable. 😊

Great film, very relatable indeed. Wildlife in the UK always seems to be miles away but there's always the chance that something will happen close by - just being there and being patient is everything.

Yup, it isn't easy getting a good photo of a bird. You held it out longer than I would in those conditions and got some great photos. We have watched you since getting out first Canon camera a few years ago.

Great video Paul. Really admire your fortitude going out in those kind of conditions...for british photographers a camera that performs at high isos is obviously an absolute must. 😀

Yes, like the video. It’s realistic, particularly with the lousy run of weather we’ve had for the last 5 months.

It's good to see and know we're not the only ones having bad days. Warts an' all videos are sometimes the best

I was recently in England, near Hyde. I was very lucky because there were moments with good light and small, fast birds. I brought some nice photos home. I must admit that I really like your videos. Nice shots and a lot of technical knowledge, so necessary for a beginner nature photographer. Greetings from sunny Krakow, Adam

I loved this video, especially the fly…🤣. It reminds me of so many of my outings.

Great video Paul, love the photos of the woodpecker and reed bunting!

Great video. With how terrible the weather has been for astrophotography I've taken up bird photography and I'm loving it. It's seriously addictive in my opinion. A steep learning curve to learn what it is I'm photographing and actually photographing small fast birds definitely has a "sporting" feel to it. Very satisfying to land good shots of birds that you don't see every day. I was at the marshes the other day and literally had a treecreeper latch onto a tree trunk in front of me, maybe 10 metres away. Just have to be out and about....no such thing as inappropriate weather, just inappropriate clothing 😂😂😂

It's good to know that I'm not the only one struggling to get bird pictures at the moment
