Thanks Rick, yeh thats nature i suppose but cant help feeling sad about him. Hopefully he wont suffer for long😥

@andystevens530 3 года назад

Brilliant! So many times I'd go out with just my Binos,and missed some great opportunities with the wildlife, Always equipped now Great watch Simon.

@simoneardley 3 года назад

Cheers Andy, yeh i know what you mean. Its usually the case when youve no gear with you , dont go anywhere now without 'the bag'!!!

@terryrensch2561 Год назад

Thanks Simon good video

@bivouacphotography4768 3 года назад

You can't be without a good set of binos! I've got the same pack, superb but of kit 👌🏻

It certainly is , a bit pricey but it's nice to treat yourself now and again 👍😉

Very enjoyable again Simon. Totally agree that polystyrene beads are inadequate for a bean bag. I have loads of bean bags, all shapes and sizes, some homemade and some quite expensive ones. Having tried many types of fillings over the past 30 years or so I have finally settled on a combination of plastic beads and buckwheat husks. The plastic beads are the best but bloody heavy, especially on a big bag so I now fill bags with roughly one third in volume of beads and the remainder in buckwheat husks. The beads can settle to bottom of the bag after a while but a quick shake soon redistributes them. That particular issue actually works well on an A shaped bag when used over a car door or similar as the heavier beads tend to go down the legs and hold it in place. Take care.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Cheers Robert, good advice with the Buckwheat. I'll have to try some of that. Thanks again.👍🏼

Enjoyable video Simon with cracking footage, loved the Kingfisher images. Sad about that Deer but that's nature I suppose . Keep safe and well. Looking forward to more vlogs.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Thanks John, went looking today for any signs of him but no such luck.

@septimuswilkinson8489 4 года назад

Great Kingfisher pictures. I like a fig roll every now and again but I'd take a pack of ginger nuts as my essential equipment and a spare battery.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Cheers pal, nowt wrong with a good old ginger nut👍🏼😆

@davehodgkiss 4 года назад

Well done again Simon great advice Kingfisher video was really good I always tend to use a tripod but your idea of the backpack is something I must try

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Cheers david, yeh its another technique to use if you havent got your tripod on you👍🏼

@grahamhall6832 4 года назад

Another great video Simon. I really enjoy your channel. Gutted to see that the Fjallravens Stubben backpack has been 'improved'. Gone are those nice leather straps and disappointingly the side straps which would have been useful for carrying a tripod. Great shame as it looked like a nice bit of kit and I was seriously considering buying one.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Yeh, i know exactly what you mean Dave. I bought my lad the same pack for Christmas and was surprised when it turned up. He still ended up with it but i much prefer mine. Maybe worth phoning some suppliers to see if they carry old stock or keep an eye on ebay👍

@AntSurviveTheNight 4 года назад

That bag is just awesome isn’t it. Like you say expensive but you get what you pay for. I saw the thumb stick on a previous video, I do like that idea. Those shots of the king fishers and then the Deer were spot on and what a shame about the Deer though. Thanks mate 👍, Ant

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Aye its a great bag Ant, one that i'll have for a long time. Gutted about the deer, couldn't sleep last night thinking about him. Hopefully he wont suffer for long. Natures cruel sometimes mate😕

@AntSurviveTheNight 4 года назад

SIMON EARDLEY funny, I sensed you were upset. Yeah life’s a bummer and don’t we know it at the moment mate. I mean you have to look at it as a kind of a privilege to see something like that?

@bruceterrill8730 4 года назад

Hey Simon, You're getting to be 'essential' viewing during the lockdown over here, please keep posting. This episode has really got my 'creative Juices' flowing and I need a follow up from you on how and when to harvest and create one of your thumb walking sticks? We are just heading into Autumn over here, so it might be a good time for me to be out and about with my Swiss Army chainsaw looking for the right kind of branches?

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Cheers Bruce, yeh i'll do a walking stick tutorial film soon 👍🏼

@stevewhiteley9249 3 года назад

Great stuff. I just smiled wondering if someone, somewhere was wondering about ‘A over T’ ;-)

@UKSTAGROSCO Год назад

Hi im looking to get a second hand camera and 600 lens for video and wildlife pics what would you recommend? Great films btw love them

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers mate, i started with a Nikon D7200 and Sigma 150-600. Great setup 👌🏼

@UKSTAGROSCO Год назад

@@simoneardley thanks bud I’ll look 👀

@bruceterrill8730 4 года назад

Great ideas on finding the Kingfishers, but by the look of the black ribbon flying from the branch on the stump that you sit under (16:56) it looks to me that you just have to walk the river and sit under everyone else's spots? hahaha As I said previously. . ."Essential Viewing" !!

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Hi Bruce, only noticed that when ive just looked back at the film. Unfortunately that is flood debris that is literally everywhere. When this river floods it comes way up over where i was sat and the trees get full of plastic waste which is what you can see here👀😩

@stephenelderphoto 4 года назад

Hi Simon. It would be a great help if you could put some web links to your gear and you might be able to make a little something back if you used affiliate links. Just a thought Your videos are extremely helpful, so thanks for sharing your experience 👍

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Hi Stephen, ive attached some gear links in the description. Not thought of affiliate links, I'll have a look into it👍

@russellwebb3672 4 года назад

Hi, Just like to ask your views on that Sigma 150-600mm? I keep going back to it as also looking at a used Canon 600mm F4 IS original version at £3500 and the Sigma at £700 new, I do use the Canon 7D MK ll and also wonder if the 1.4 mk ll converter would aslo work along side the Sigma. Thankyou, Russ.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

I'd love a 600mm F4 but the bank manager just wont allow it!!!😩The Sigma is a great compromise, youve still got the focal length and also the versatility of the zoom which can be a game changer. I use mine with a 1.4 x convertor and the light loss and image quality is negligible really. Ive had some great photos with mine👍🏼📷

@@simoneardley Yes thanks, i must try to see if they ship to Denmark :)

@andynayler7266 4 года назад

A nice video, makes me miss the great outdoors, but could you point out to viewers that Kingfishers are protected by law. They are on Schedule 1, making it illegal to photograph them at or near the nest. Watching for where they fly into a steep bank and then waiting nearby to photograph them would be breaking the law.

@simoneardley 4 года назад

Yeh I,m aware of that Andy. The location was next to a banking but i can assure you that they weren't nesting in it. Good point with making others aware of the Schedule 1 listing, I'll mention it in my next film
