This is the third and final part of my recent trip to bird hides in Bulgaria. I have visited Bulgaria many times because it is such a bird rich country. I spend time with Bee-eaters, Rollers and Hoopoes as well as a session in a floating hide. The OM-1 camera and the 150-400mm lens proves to be a wonderful combination to travel with.

Thank you very much for your lovely video Mike, I love watching them.

@kosmicheskiprah 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for promoting our country. I recomend Madzharovo vulture conservatory and the Danube islands close to Svishtov as well as the Atanaskovo lake close to Burgas to observe the flamingos. Yes, many birds and storks in Bulgaria. It is a very fertile land and almost covered with nature wherever yo go. Your content is incredible and professional.

I always get a bit envious when I see anyone taking advantage of a floating water hide. Alligators are so thick in my location that it's not the safest of options. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you!

@MrAppoline 11 месяцев назад

Another super video. I saw European bee-eaters for the first time in Crete earlier this year. Colourful, beautiful and quick. And also little ringed plovers and little stints. Tiny birds. I managed to get fairly close by lying down and waiting, but the floating hide is a whole other level (and dedication!). Keep up the great work.

@birdwatcherlubuski 11 месяцев назад

Great footage, Mike, as usual! From the looks of it, Bulgaria is a Coraciiformes paradise. Bee-eaters, hoopoes, rollers... Is there something they don't have?😂

My country is also full of birds and butterflies; but also snakes and it's a jungle and very humid.

@davelock3166 11 месяцев назад

Yes, my only gripe with the system, is you have to be aware of the OOF background! However, the plus points far and away outweigh the negative, compared to other systems. Great video.

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

@doncooper2344 11 месяцев назад

Always great shots and always informative. I have no experience with floating hides and this video did not inspire me to try one! I especially liked the final shots of the flight display were very interesting. Also not easy to get. Head on shots of birds are usually not appealing but these were. And I had no idea that Bulgaria was a great place for bird photography.

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

Eastern Europe in gerneral is good for birds.

@alandixon5144 11 месяцев назад

Tremendous Mike, there seemed to be more birds than during my week and more activity. The "floating" hide was hard work wasn't it.....

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

Very. Each time I try one it has been hard going, but worth the effort.

@TL-xw6fh 11 месяцев назад

You made it look all so easy, but I'm sure it's the complete opposite! Great stuff and thank you very much for such an outstanding production!

@sabyasachibanerjee124 11 месяцев назад

Bulgaria is bird rich no doubt. But your efforts to get the shots on the floating hide deserves a big praise. Very enjoyable watch. Very up close, this one

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

Thanks

@skakdosmer 11 месяцев назад

I admire your tenacity. I'd certainly never put myself trough anything like that. About blurred backgrounds there's something I will never understand. Yes, of course you'll want the background to be out of focus. But I don't see the point in blurring it so completely that you've no idea whats there. I'd much rather see some of the environment!

@eljayr4669 11 месяцев назад

@johnkirkelionis7490 11 месяцев назад

Excellent images and video. A lot of effort and work must go into making these RU-vid videos. It is a shame that one has to go overseas to see some birds that were abundant in the UK years ago!

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

Yes but even in Bulgaria birds are declining

@igordmitriev7211 11 месяцев назад

Hello Mike! Amazing videos. I was wondering how you record the sound of birds for your videos? Is it a boom mic, or something like a Zoom H1? Thanks in advance!

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

I have a Rode rifle mic.

@hansmoller7664 11 месяцев назад

Great shots and video clips which I appreciate very much because we were traveling to Bulgaria some weeks after you due to your very positive comments of previous trips, We got the end of the early summer, therefore different scenes. As I have less time than you I am still struggling with sorting the photos ... . One question on your gear - what kind of video head are you using now and what weight does it have to carry?

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 месяцев назад

When flying I am using a Manfrotto 501. 3.53lbs. I have a much heavier Miller Compass 12. 5.2 lbs which is much better, but I have never attempted to fly with it.

@wildcat1065 11 месяцев назад

Looks a great place, such a shame we have allowed the UK to get so overpopulated and spoilt. I was on the Long Mynd in Shropshire yesterday and I had opportunities for wheatear and pipits from the car but every time I got on to something another car would come along and I’d have to move on.
