With the promise of a trip over the water to Northern Ireland I snuck the camera gear in just on the off chance that I may have the opportunity for a bit of bird photography on the coast. I only had a short window to work with and so I had to make the most of it, I got out early in the morning with the hope of spotting some Eider. They were about but also lots of other species to concentrate on. Join me for a mini jaunt in some really rubbish weather and see the results i managed to get.

New subscriber to your channel from the other side of the hill (Yorkshire) and I'm hooked. Im beginning my wildlife photography journey after a being lucky enough to capture footage of local deer and herons one morning and immediately saying to myself I want more of that. Your videos are really informative and great to watch. 👍

HaHa, it's like looking in a mirror mate, our long suffering wives!!! If you get the chance Simon Newburgh beach just outside Aberdeen for Eider duck, loads of them a couple of metres away and very tolerant. Lovely group of shots and stunning film mate👍👍

@garyashford Год назад

@simoneardley Год назад

Brilliant coastline Gary, love it over here👌🏼

@brianlemke6017 Год назад

Very nice shots and footage. First rule of photography, to get the shots - bad or good - we have to show up. Not gorse but here on Vancouver Island we have a similar plant called Scots Broom. It’s invasive and not native to the island and a nasty problem - it’s everywhere. An idiot British army captain, Walter Grant, introduced it to his garden in the mid-1800s. Since then it’s spread over the entire island, parts of the lower mainland and into Washington State. It blooms through May-June and the pollen drives those with allergies, like my son, completely crazy.

@simoneardley Год назад

We have the same problem over here with Himalayan Balsalm. Its a bloody nightmare. Thanks for the follow Brian 👊🏼

@Two_weirdos_in_the_world Год назад

Love it! You got some amazing shots there!

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers Lou👀👍🏼

@chriseyre3713 Год назад

"It's all about perspective" priceless answer. Keep up the great work 👍

@simoneardley Год назад

I have a whole book of excuses Chris!!😆

@anteater74 Год назад

Good advice to keep the camera out....many times have i missed great shots on the way back out the woods to the car 🙈

@simoneardley Год назад

Yeh Ive been caught out loads of times myself!!

@andyheywoodsphotographya-h7913 Год назад

Great stuff Simon weather here at the moment is atrocious might as well be shooting at night 😂📸👍

@simoneardley Год назад

Haha, thats the problem when youre only in a location for a short time. Youve just gotta bite the bullet!!

@adrianmoore4690 Год назад

great video great shots

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers Adrian 👍🏼

@alasdairmackenzie905 Год назад

Congratulations Grandad ! "It's all about perspective" - love it !! Some great shots in horrible conditions. Over in my part of the world we have quite a lot of eider around the coast and they aren't usually that timid of humans - they'll let you get quite close without the need for low-viz and this time last year I was taking them from less than 25 feet on Loch Fleet.

@simoneardley Год назад

Nice one Alisdair, yeh these were a bit twitchy. If i'd had more time I reckon i'd have got them. Next time eh!!📷👊🏼

@RichardBirchett Год назад

Nice one mate! Some cracking birds and regardless of the weather the boy did well! I especially like seeing the plover amongst the Sea Pinks. Congratulations on becoming a Grandad! Top stuff mate, not been but might venture there one day! Top vlogging as always. Rich 👌

@simoneardley Год назад

Thanks Rich, the Plover are ace arent they. Tons of character, if you get the chance mate get yourself over there. I think youre gonna have enough to explore where youre going though mate 😆 Thanks for watching pal, all the best. Si 👊🏼

@phynes6 Год назад

Congratulations, Grandad. Yet again, another great video of a quick outing. As you say, you don't have to be a major planned trip. To get some good shots.

@simoneardley Год назад

Thanks Peter, got to be in it to win it!!😆👍🏼

@ianunwin Год назад

lovely video nice to see you going for it in all weathers, have you done a recent weather proofing equipment video, the stone chat was great

@simoneardley Год назад

Thanks Ian, I havent but its certainly one for the future living in the UK !! 👍🏼

@mickbryan8908 Год назад

Congratulations on the addition to the family. Another great blog. If you don’t mind me asking where’s the mat from. Is it one of your own making?

@simoneardley Год назад

@Karkawry1970 Год назад

A great selection of birds there Simon, I would be happy with that. I love watching shore birds stretch as well, so comical! Do you find vibram soles to be slippy on the rocks? I have. decent pair of walking boots, but any rocks which are remotely rounded by footfall/weather and I have to tread very carefully, i believe the soles are made more for longevity than traction/grip

@simoneardley Год назад

I find the Vibrams are as good as can be expected on wet slippery rocks. I think with most footwear on this terrain youve got to have your wits about you 👍🏼

@martynkellett7261 Год назад

Simon - honest question. Just starting my wildlife photography business. I want to move up from my Canon 100-400 Is USM II with 1.4 x converter. In your opinion, what would be a better move - a 100 - 500 ISM US ii or a 300mm f2.8 IS USM . Thanks. Really value your opinion.

@tonyfluertynaturephotograp5272 Год назад

If you didn't go out in the rain here in Northern Ireland you would have to stay home 360 days a year watching youtubers lol

@simoneardley Год назад

Thats not a million miles from the truth Tony, great place though 👌🏼📷👀

@tonyfluertynaturephotograp5272 Год назад

@@simoneardley I shifted here where I live with my new wife right on the border in Newry. My country of origin is New Zealand and im 64 years young. I had never been out of New Zealand until I shifted here two years ago. I thought New Zealand had loads of windy and wet days but this place is in its own class lol The weather here is not extreme like it often is in New Zealand, it's just constant with heavy cloud most days of the year. I would not say it rains here often, most of the time its just drizzle, but it drizzles day after day after day for month after month lol I found it a real challenge to shoot in such low light conditions most of the time. But you know what? I now prefer low light over cast days to blazing sunny days as you can keep shooting all day long and we have wonderful noise reduction proggies out there now to help us. I also think we get the best colour from our wee birdies in subdued light. It's just getting a fast enough shutter speed for those twitchy birds that never sit still. I have learned to love it here with its crappy weather and I have so many new bird species to still photograph before my card is full, my battery flat and I run out of time. I just need two of me lol
