I decided it was time to change the Buzzard setup a bit as I dont like my pictures to get stale. I therefore headed off to one of favourite woodlands that is full of suitable dead branches to choose a good prop. After heading home we set up the new perch and also setup the new Tragopan Lagopus one person hide. Did we get the shots that all the hard work deserved??? Armed with the new Nikon Z9 and 500mm F4 we get an early start but things didn't quite go as planned...................

Anyway grab a brew and a fig roll (other biscuits are available) and sit back and enjoy the film!! Thanks for watching.

    Loved that Simon I can’t believe how much photography equipment has changed since my f5 years ago you have inspired me,so off I go again I’ll tell the wife it’s your fault ha ha ,keep them coming 😊
  • @gman5375
    Simon thanks a lot for all the inspiration mate. I’m new to this lark but you are showing me that its possible with the right prep and a little gear. Keep the content coming!
  • Good stuff, Simon - The drone takes fit nicely into your always well planned B roll. For 45 minutes I forgot where I was.
  • @Gazzab6
    Well done Simon for not being afraid to switch systems if one is not working for you. I know you had some stupid comments when you first went to the OM-1 but you’re right, the kit is a tool and you go with what works best for you. Okay I was a little disappointed you switched from Nikon to Olympus because I have a D500 and I picked up some great tips on using the D500 from watching your channel but I didn’t stop watching just because you happened to change systems. I watch your channel for the locations you visit, the sharing of your field craft and tips on technique etc. not to mention your great humour. Keep up the great work.

    Great stuff as always 👍 Enjoy a nice Christmas…
  • WoooooH…. Why why have not found your channel b4 now ???…. Very inspirational 👍…. Great content…. The work you put into this … brilliant brilliant 👍👍👍
  • @Kenbur
    Simon, that was a great video. I love how you plan and rearrange if needed to get your setups. It always shows that a great picture for the most part needs a lot of thoughtful input and time to make it happen. I know there is the occasional - right place, right time - but if it was that easy, it wouldn't be photographic artistry. Great work and thanks for sharing the tips and the outcome of your tips and hard work with us in these videos.

    Cracking film Simon, fantastic shots of the deer. The Lagopus hide looks a good bit of kit. Will be interested in watching your review, at 6'4 it would be nice to be able to sit up and not be scrunched for up hours, like in my present hide. Thank you for your films over the past year and before, informative, amusing and an absolute pleasure to watch. merry Christmas and a very happy new year. All the very best to you and yours. cheers 🍻. 👍📷😎
  • Well done Simon, Roe deer were fantastic.Thanks for great year of vlogs.Keep them coming next year.
