Let me share one of the best experiences of my entire life with you.
In this video, I come face to face with a big wild cat and it's everything I hoped it would be.
I show you the entire encounter from start to finish and even the exact moment when I capture the shot I waited for so patiently.
The question is, am I making friends with a lynx or a bobcat? One thing I can tell you is that no kebabs were harmed during this encounter.
Things go well and we're getting along great until I try to read a couple of pages of 'Chasing Awe With Gavin Hardcastle' to this potentially dangerous predator. She clearly prefers fiction or perhaps self-help books. Whatever her preference, I'm left looking like a fool.
Will Amanda buy me that 800mm lens for my birthday? Will I put my foot in a hunters snare and what's got this big cat so spooked when it looks over my shoulder?
There's really only one way to find out.

Probably was her self-preservation kicking in when you got down to her level. Yorkshire man squatting in a field, probably had a Vindaloo the previous night, the bobcat didn't want any part of that.

Welcome to the club, buddy! That 600 f4 would be great on that A1!

@fototripper Год назад

Let's hope she got the hint...

@cliftonwhittaker260 Год назад

This bobcat is old and weak and blind in her right eye. She might be hoping to find some roadkill and that is why she is staying near the road. Probably too weak and sick to be very successful at hunting. Certainly won't be successful at trying for waterfowl. She let you get so close because she is hoping you will be empathetic enough to help her. A healthy young bobcat would never let you see it, much less get that close. If you find a dead rabbit along the road you might bring it back and just leave it nearby... and not come back. Let her go on off and die an honorable death without any further interference or additional stress. Let nature take its course.

@GodIsReal Год назад

That’s what I thought. Only wild animals that don’t feel well let humans come so close. But still, she is so beautiful and the experience is no less incredible.

@fibonacho Год назад

Based on her eyes and a few facial mannerisms, I think she's in pain, too. That can often make a dangerous situation more dangerous, but I think it is more age-related and she'd rather just sit and only move if she has to.

@briansorrells8126 Год назад

What a beautiful bobcat. But what you didn't realize was the fact that she was actually TRYING to get you closer. Drawing you in with her deceptively docile behavior. She's thinking to herself, "Hmmm. He's already robbed me of a duck dinner and I'm pretty sure he can't out run me. He doesn't seem scared so if I let him get close enough, this'll be easy. Just a little closer...." Seriously though, she was an older cat and its harder for her to hunt now so she was waiting for an easy meal like a curious Yorkshireman...

@kevinglowe2855 Год назад

@fototripper Год назад

@JeffandLeslie Год назад

One thing that I can share is to avoid crouching down in front of a predator. As you found, it doesn't work well. More important, don't crouch down and turn your back on them. A bobcat isn't going to attack you unless it is sick, old or hurt but one shouldn't make themselves look like prey in any case. Nice photos. It does look like her right eye is not working correctly. She must be pretty old. It must have been an incredible experience.

@dawnmason2378 Год назад

It's a Bobcat. They are the smallest of the Lynx family. Beautiful.

@rbr6852 Год назад

I would say Bobcat. Doesn’t seem well to let you up this close though. 🤷‍♂️

@rbr6852 Год назад

Learning more about wildlife and their prey, might get you better photos. It is up to oneself how to use that. Catching mice/rodents ”Off season” storing and using as photofeeding station might help Owls, bobcats etc at the end of winter but it is a thin line. On the other hand, catching a stunning photo and further educate people to the beauty of wildlife, and KEEPING a healthy distance…

Definitely a Bobcat. Lynx are bigger. Their ear tufts are longer and their tails have only a black tip, no rings. She's at a disadvantage with the loss of vision in her right eye and she looks thin. Poor girl. Nature can be cruel. But perhaps she's coping. Thank you for this video.

Maybe Belinda the bobcat was thinking "This guy is crazy. He keeps turning around and talking to someone that isn't there. I'm OUTTA HERE!" 😂

@JohnDrummondPhoto Год назад

That's definitely a bobcat. Looks like a cataract in its right eye and it's slightly favoring its left rear leg. So, an old girl with a hitch in its gitalong. A lynx is huge by comparison. Never seen one in the wild but I've seen them in zoos. You don't want to be anywhere near that close to one. Great images and an entertaining video. Canadian Lynxes are bigger than bobcats with more pronounced face and ear tufts. They are very long-legged, and the rear legs are longer than the front. Their primary prey are snowshoe hares, for which they lie in wait along hare trails and ambush rather than actively stalking.

@GeorgiaT1496 Год назад

Bobcats are actually the smallest of the Lynx, but I'm not sure if that is a bobcat or a different lynx. Super cool encounter! There's no way she'd let you that close if she wasn't I'll or injured in some way, cats hide pain extremely well.

I have a "panic button" on my A7RIII. When I push and hold it the camera is set to continuous shooting, ss 1/1000sec and the most open aperture available on the lens I have mounted at the moment. When released the camera is set to whatever settings I had before. Very useful when something unexpected happens and I have little time to react, like an interesting bird flying by.

@MattTalksPhotography Год назад

That's a great idea I'll have to look into. Closest thing I've had is when I shot sports, I'd have a custom function for the field and another for the crowd lighting.

@edc641 Год назад

@@MattTalksPhotography I usually shoot landscapes, but I also enjoy shooting wildlife. So when I'm out in the field it's so convenient having that button to quickly change settings to something more suitable for fast moving subjects. I forgot to mention that I also get continuous autofocus when pressing the button. I used to have two buttons set up for action photography, the other one with an even faster shutter speed for smaller birds. But my camera model is not great for those smaller birds in the air so I'm back to a single button with 1/1000 (or maybe a tad faster). Works great!

@vincentlerie2911 Год назад

Fantastic experience, but I truly think there is something wrong with the animal. I wonder if she is visually impaired, because her right eye looked cloudy like it may have a cataract. If so, the left eye may have one, thus reducing her eye sight even more. This may account for why you could get so close. Nonetheless again a fantastic experience! Thanks so much for sharing!

@michaelshoup2703 Год назад

A face filling, close up? Whatever you call it.. How about, a Portrait? LOL... Sorry, I just found that funny.. Another great video, to be sure.. Oh, and yeah, it's a Lynx.. Both the Lynx and the Bobcat can be equally aggressive, but both also prefer to distance themselves from human confrontation.. Yours wasn't afraid, but preferred to disengage.. Remember, you don't get 'chased' by wild cats, you get 'caught'! 😹

Quick Google says Lynx have longer legs and bigger feet than a bobcat, so you just need to acquire a known lynx (or bobcat) then make them stand back to back.

That was a good first encounter for your wild life photography. I like the straight on face picture. I thought I watch a RU-vidr saying you need to see your reflection in the animals eye! After watching the closeup of the kitty she might have the start of cataracts. Think you might need two cameras. One setup for wild life with the long lens on! Just have to buy lots and lots of chocolate for Amanda. I am upgrade to a IV from a M2. I have to see if it was worth the extra $,$$$?

Congrats to you Gavin, one of my favorite subjects. I have one that allowed me to get up to witin 10 feet before it gently moved on, I had a 500 with me and it was full frame of a face, then after looking how close I was, I decided to give her more room, for I did want a peeded off Bobcat decide to show me who was boss. Now I was very fortunate to had been working a miltary base were they had a allot, so over my time there I had 7 encouter with different Bobcats from chilling to snaking on ground squirells. Oh and Amada is not fat and when I get Chasin Awe I may take it with me to shoot wildlife and get lucky also. Good luck on getting the big boy lens for the BD, I think over the years I have spent enough on big white lens to buy a C8 Corvett, luckily I have a loving and understanding wife who got me a Canorn R5 for an Christmas, it is good that the old EF work fantasic with it especially teh 500 and 600. Take care and be safe and thanks for sharing.

@intrepidscotland8091 Год назад

The Bobcat is quite a bit smaller than the Lynx, and this one looks small, and mature. The other giveaway is that the hips on a Lynx are higher than its shoulders. I’d veer towards Bobcat as the hips looks level with the shoulders and she’s quite small. Oh and the black banded tail is more of a Bobcat characteristic.

@wngimageanddesign9546 Год назад

You need to see the back of its ears to determine if it's bobcat or lynx. If there are white tuffs of fur, it's a bobcat. She's a BOBCAT. They are supremely beautiful and elusive noble wildcats. And they actually habituate to humans very well. They make excellent companions, they instinctively use the toilet instead of a cat box of litter. This is due to their trait of doing its business in streams to hide its scent. Their nature it between a dog and a cat. Big appetite for meat, lot's of energy, desires a lot of attention. And purrs like a motorboat.

@Eigil_Skovgaard Год назад

Wow, that was special. I have seen videos with bobcats half domesticated, i.e. visiting the gardens regularly to get the snacks. They would probably be more or less confident with humans. It depends of how close the nearest houses are. After all you were successful with a very direct approach strategy. That said I don't for a minute want to reduce your experience. For good reasons it IS an extraordinary experience to get close to a wild animal, not least when you are "naked" and the slower runner. You managed to get perfect close-ups - and even report it. Very good. Wildlife may be knocking on your photography tepee, Gavin!

@RobertHennessey-so6gp Год назад

Found this on line … Are bobcats and lynx the same cat? From a taxonomical perspective, the lynx is a genus of wild cats that includes four species: the Canadian lynx, the Iberian lynx, the Eurasian lynx, and the bobcat. That's right: the bobcat is really just a type of lynx (it even goes by the alternative name of red lynx

@anthonymara4533 Год назад

Well be it bobcat or Lynx, they both belong to the Lynx genus, I THINK that's a bobcat, they have more difficulty moving around in the snow, the Canadian lynx on the other hand has much larger paws, but honestly, I've never been good at identifying specifics. I just did a shoot for a local nature park and captured their bobcats last photos, she was the oldest mammal in the park, and the first time she had ever come out to see me. Your Belinda there seems fairly young in comparison, but that eye gives me pause, questioning whether its reflection, or maybe a cataract. Though unusually calm around humans.... Where I used to live we had a bobcat, and a puma/cougar/mountain lion, never managed to get close enough to get a photo of either of them.

@Wilotd Год назад

Lynx vs Bobcat FAQ Both lynx and bobcats belong to the same Lynx genus. Bobcats are the smallest cats in the species with stubby tails and distinct dark strips on the forelegs and tail. Lynx are larger and have a tuft of dark hair on the tips of their ears. Lynx have longer legs and bigger paws.

@ryanmutch7921 Год назад

I've always headed into the wild prepared to photograph both wildlife and scenery. There is no law saying you can't do both. Wildlife is a little more hit or miss, but other than my time spent at South Pole Station, I've found wildlife everywhere I've found beautiful scenery. I'm going with Bobcat on this. The Lynx is more inclined to colder regions but Bobcat are also found in your neck of the woods. This could explain why you were able to get so close. When it's cold a Bobcat will be less likely to attack than a Lynx. The Lynx also have bigger paws and longer legs than the Bobcat, but other than that, they are really tough to tell apart.
