With a few unexpected snow showers I decided to grab my camera gear and head down to the field hide. I've been meaning to do a couple of Jay films and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so. I wanted to get some different angles and decided to set up the Hokki V3 to try and capture some images of one Britains most stunning birds.

I can vouch for their strength, I have a hand reared pet magpie and boy, is he strong. I now know that song bird chicks die instantly I'm sure with a magpie head butt, they don't suffer like I thought they did. The bird draws blood on me easily when he's in a mood haha.

Good set up with the Canon M50, Simon i were heated clothing ie trousers waist jacket etc and when in the hide i never have a heating problem. The heated clothing is relatively inexpensive and runs of an Anker battery charger pack which lasts for hours from a full charge. The clothing i have has a variable heat setting given the choice of three levels👍

I appreciated the comedy elements of toe warming as well.. I really like your style where if things go a bit wrong like the Mic issue you keep it in.. I have watched a lot of your stuff lately, in the joy of lockdown and it really provides some levity and inspiration that helps us all by taking our minds off the toss around us.. I’d like to thank you sincerely for that.. I’d love to meet you one day to thank you in person... I live way down south so who knows... BTW I have now got a load of paracord so me and my lad will be playing at cobra weave knots 😂.. PS you are costing me a fortune as I cant help buying some of the stuff you use and show..

Hi Simon your brave . i can think of other words as well to go out in the snow in what looked a freezing cold day, this from someone that has got dressed up like a teddy bear to just go for a walk. The footage of the Jays was really good, if you keep this up i think you might get your own nature programme Lol. I for one would tune in. I bought the nitehawk hide and put it up in the lounge before i go outside with it, and your right its dead simple to set up. but its going to have to warm up first. Watch out for Jack frost or you might lose a toe or two.

Marino wool is probably still the best to keep your tootsies toasty. & maybe a pair of UGG boots Video quality was really good . I love my M50 but a little un-impressed on how long the battery lasts. Make sure you have a spare, esp. in the cold weather. I have just been looking at getting the Smallrig cage for it , with plenty of attachment points for mics, lights and TXs The jays loved those acorns. and we loved the jays .

Looks a great lens. Thanks for the tip on the cage, i"ll have a look at that. Gonna carry a powerbank too as i believe you can charge in body.Cheers.

@@simoneardley Thanks Simon, I don't believe you can charge the battery in situ but what you can do is use a dummy battery that connects to USB power banks .

Stunning footage from the canon seen a lot of blogger use it all ways looks good so think your on to a winner with that set up. Great photos as always and I have learnt not to buy toe warmers lol . I can second the Marino socks but everything gets cold when not moving about , but are great Marino wool sock .

Hi Simon Another enjoyable vlog (for us for you not so I’d imagine being cold) on keeping your feet warm try aqua products thermal socks (carp fishing gear company ) . Don’t go winter carp fishing with a couple of pairs , did 27 nights last winter and my feet weren’t a problem

Another great video... it’s great watching you, whilst we are stuck indoors in the warm.. but I sympathise with you and all the long hours etc. Cold feet can be really painful... but have you thought about an old fur lined hot water bottle, on some foam, and you toes resting on it? Keep them coming Simon!

Super video as always Simon! Really enjoyed the first and this 2nd instalment didn't disappoint. Been watching a lot of your content lately and really think they are bang on. I have a question, The field space set up you have is my dream, I would love to try and set something up like that myself as my garden space simply isn't big enough. Can I ask is the field you use private and have purchased it or have you asked for a farmer for permission to use their land. Either way what's your advice for having your own bit of field with no disturbance from anyone that you can visit anytime you want and have your own little projects? I keep doing research on the internet but I don't get much joy from it. Any advice is much appreciated. Keep up with brilliant videos! Thanks Sam.
@simoneardley
@simoneardley 3 года назад
A good question Sam, the field belongs to a family member and lets me use it which is great. I also have lots of other permissions off farmers whereby I've just knocked on the door and asked them for permission. If you explain your motives and the benefits you can bring i.e putting up nest boxes, coppicing, encouraging new species, etc etc, its surprising how receptive landowners can be. Get a good OS map and get looking, I also think google earth is a fabulous tool to use. Hope this helps.

Have a look at sundick down booties . Yea the name sounds wrong lol. If your feet sweat from walking.they trap mositure which then cools down. Hence feet get cold. Or changing into dry pair of socks will help also. Goes the same if you sweat while walking.soon as you stop walking you get cold. Get a decent r value mat to lay on. The cold ground draws the heat from your body

Hello Simon Thanks for yours good videos. I have a camera nikon d850 anda i would like have you advice with Sigma lens 150-600 for wildlife photography whos better Sport or Contemporary? Or you advice another? Thanks
@simoneardley
@simoneardley 3 года назад
Hi Joao, as far as the differences between the Sports and Contemporary I can't comment really as I have only used the Contemporary. If I was started afresh i would probably go for the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 and not be worried about the 100mm loss in focal length due to the high megapixel count on the D850. Hope this helps

To keep feet warm in boots, use only one good pair of warm socks, don't tighten your laces, keep them loser the you used to (for better sirculation)and buy some feetwarmer pads. In tent or hide I use "artic tent boots" with long thick socks, you gone love them ;)

Great video, I love these birds, they are so colourful. The plumage is a bit like every other birds, all mixed in together. Unfortunately though, they are still classed as pests and can be shot with a licence. Something I still don't agree with, as where I live, you are lucky to see one...😎👍🏼👍🏼
