Absolutely outstanding! I had a professionally guided kingfisher hide workshop half a day and returned extremely satisfied. But this video shows all I didn't get in my workshop - therefore your video is really great!
What can I say Neil. I love your behaviour footage of the Kingfishers, and the wee beardies are super cute. Keep up the postings as I need the content more than ever after breaking my collar bone, elbow ( wired back togeather again) and damaged the softtusue in my hip. Thankfully all on the left side. Going to try some one handed photography in my garden today with a tripod, OM-1, 300mm and the 1.4TC.
Thanks, and Ouch - hope you heal up soon! Hope you got on Ok with that set up, quite light for the reach available and what I've used to film insects in the past
Sorry this is a tangent. Have you filmed the symbiosis between the bumblebee and Jerusalem sage? As the bumblebee enters the flower it triggers the anthers to pop out and deposit pollen on the bees back. Great behavior to see and should be quite easy to film. I have spent my morning photographing bumblebees and Jerusalem sage pollen distribution. The Jerusalem sage is just coming into flower now in Dorset.
Nice! Im once again looking at plants online, after buying some Lambs Ear for Wool Carder Bees after one of your comments - are you secretly a viral advertiser for a plant nursery or something? lol
