- Getting small garden birds to pose for the camera. Less is more when it comes to feeding our garden birds. They will stand still and show their best side to you when you reduce the food supply.

Brilliant video Mike! Your name should be "The bird Whisperer"
Superb, love your idea's. Great Nuthatch.
I watch each of your videos with interest, they are always so helpful, thanks!
Thank you Mike!! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge of photography and wildlife with us. Greatly appreciated!!
Mike, this is one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam. I wish you 1000 x more subscriptions. - “The Algorithm” unfortunately prefers pseudo science channels, the content made of 99.99% stock footage, but 0.01% information only. Actual example: James Webb telescope, 99.99% click bait, millions of subscribers, hundreds of million views. What does the TH-cam management do? Cutting down benefits of channels like this one, offering true content, for the sake of click bait channels. The betrayed are creators like Mike and the companies paying loads of money for the views of their ads on the CB channels, no one watching those channels is seriously is interested in. If this reflects the true mental condition of mankind, we’re doomed and don’t deserve better.
Great video and info! Thank you very much!!
Such an informative video, thanks
Many thanks for sharing ! really good for me fot the ideas
Superb Video! Thank you!

güzel ugraş ..
Very helpful. Thanks
Another masterclass.
Thank you for making your videos informative and understandable. I really appreciate your comments and thoughts. TB fr Canada
Glad you like them!
so glad you emphasised "light" , 'lighting is everything' 🤓📷 .. thanks for making so many great and easy to understand videos 🙏 so many ppl only have basic equipment & limited access to birds, i have adapted many of your techniques for backyard birds in flight with resounding success , thank you
Happy to help!
Very nice video and photos Mike. Thank you for your tips and tricks.👍
Have a nice Sunday.
All the best VideoHunter 😉
Very interesting 👍
Great video mine, I have the Monfretto 502 Fluid head, question do you lock out the Benro and do you turn image stabilisation off. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nick, I never switch off the IS. Never have since it was first introduced. Using a tripod with a long lens hold the shutter button down with you right hand to keep the IS active. With your left hand turn the IS off and on. You should see the vibration in the viewfinder reduce when IS is on. Your right hand is causing the vibration with a long lens and the IS is reducing it.
Not sure what question one means. I lock the vertical pan sometimes, never the horizontal.
very nice tip ! I will try it :o)
Great tips.
incredible
Great video, Mike. BTW could you post the link where you bought that net?
Google "Clear view netting". Several places online sell it.
Another top video Mike.
Very easy way to attract birds with creative ideas...Liked Sir 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you Mike, this is some awesome information and technique! I'm going to adapt this and see what I can do with it!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely photographs. Very Helpful Video, Many thanks for sharing your Knowledge And Skill With Wildlife photography.
Once again Thank you ,wonderful photos ,tips, Infomation
Nicely Done. Thank you for your time, effort, and sharing. Happy Holidays.
Every time I see the Sony A1, I feel that it's the only camera for wildlife photography anyone will ever need for the next 500 years.
Mike, your videos are incredibly informative and interesting.
As a new photographer of birds, I really enjoy watching your videos.

Hi Mike, I like your videos very much, a lot of inspiration for me, we do have this little place in our local wood Bangsbo where we spend som time feeding the birds during winther, and having kind of close relation with them, the nuthatch and a couple more is coming to the hand and collect nuts, it is a kind fun and cool I think. Cheers Svend
Great video! I have a loan of a big lens over Christmas, so will try your tips out.
nice video Mike! was a pleasure watching the bird shots you captured...
Thanks - I'll definitely try this - timing as the food supply runs out.
Another great tip Mike
I really enjoy your videos
Great video Mike. Especially good info re: waiting for the food to go. So much patience!!
Awesome tips and techniques. Thank you!
All lovely photos. The Wren was a real treat and scene steeler. Thank you for all your advice and guidance.
Thank you for another helpful and instructive video. The nuthatch photos are amazing!

Love it! Thank you for this video.
.... yes .... another masterclass Mike Lane .
Nice work Mike! Thanks for sharing!
Terrific tips, thanks Mike.
Thanks Mr Lane your tips are very appreciated
Only one word required “Brilliant”
Thank for sharing Mike.
Excellent video Mike...
As always Mike, very accomplished & interesting.
Can you give any tips for starting up similar photograph in a back garden? We've plenty of birds but not the space you showed to defocus the background & set up a hide.
My own garden is too small. You do need a bit of space.
Excellent video. Definitely something I will try next time. Do you have a link to the netting you mention at 09.20?
Google "Clear view netting". Several places online sell it.
Brilliant! Question - are you pre-focussed or relying on the eye detection AF?
Using the eye detection. With a Sony A1 it is almost impossible not to be in focus. My Olympus MFT cameras are good enough for static shots like this, but not for flight.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for sharing ;)
Any chance you can put a link to this net you are using in the hide?
Thanks
Google "Clear view netting". Several places online sell it.
Super! Thanks so much.
Why do you not want pictures with the birds having a bit of seed in their bill?
It would be very unnatura to have commercial seed in the bill.
Great work Mike good practical stuff ! It's a combination of both common sense and technical application ! Also an enormous amount of patience ! Love the Nuthatch and Wren 👍😍
Great video and as usual helpful tips!! Thanks Mike 😎😎👍🏻👍🏻
Great tips, as always, and lovely images of my favourite birds!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video mike!
