Bird Photography From a Hide - In Perfect SNOW (Canon 1DX & EF 400mm F/5.6 Lens) 

cheers Tom. It won't be for ever, but it's still a great camera.

Wow, thanks Tony. Do you think there is any particular reason why? I know it's hard to say sometimes. These are probably my favourite types of video myself!

@@PaulMiguelPhotography apart from the obvious, Paul, of you uploading some stunning images and passing on some excellent tips and ideas I think the way you ‘talk’ to your subscribers in such an informal way makes the subscriber feel important and that they are actually on location with you. Great stuff, Paul

Thank you Ian. That was the best hide for Oriole last year. Also possible from 2 other hides.

It is. Thanks for correction.

Thanks. The cemetery sounds great!

@@PaulMiguelPhotography saw a male black redstart there few days ago, first for me

They are stunning birds.

Indeed. Although we had true winter weather here today!!

It didn't visit the hide that day. But it's at the end of the video from a different hide. They are quite regular here.

Yes, there is food to encourage them

I think we do have some hides like this.. but not many no.

Sunflower seed in the log and fat in feeders on the backs of the perches.

Thanks have you been there?

cheers Paul! There are feeders there behind the perches.

Hi there. I would suggest trying to be creative with tame/approachable subjects. Use the wider angle lenses to get close and include more habitat. Be creative..

Usually Induro CT404. This trip I had a smaller K and F Concepts.

There's a lot in Bulgaria. Breeding season - shrikes, golden oriole, black headed bunting. In winter you can also get middle spotted woodpecker and grey headed. Various raptors too. I would check out Neophron Tours.

@@PaulMiguelPhotography Thanks for your very quick reaction! I know there's a lot in Bulgaria, I just found it somewhat remarkable that this video mostly had some very common species, albeit in very photogenic conditions. I already found out about Neophron tours, I have mixed feelings about organized tours though because, like you, I'm a fanatic bird photographer and would hate to have to move on when I haven't yet shot the perfect photo...
