Enjoyed this one, and the photos you did manage to get are really lovely. It was valuable to the likes of me because I get so disappointed when all the birds and other wildlife clear off when I am around with my camera, but it also proves that it can be an enjoyable amble, despite that, and to make the most of what you do happen to spot.
This is how it is. And you are not alone! Really like my 1DX mk2 however I have got the R3 and this is another planet! just look at the object and it's in fokus!
I'm from Lincolnshire and visit here often. Far Ings is also a decent spot for Marsh Harrier, Bittern, Beardies etc. Last time I was at alkborough was after it got battered by floods. It's looking loads better now! 👍
I just went birding for a bit today myself. I did at least see my target bird (an immature Bald Eagle) though my shots of it were mediocre at best. At least I got out there, which is most important anyway.
You just made my day Paul! A nearby place I'm frequently visiting, looks almost the same as the area of your video. It is a great habitat for different types of birds for sure. For the last 4 months (at least!) I'm looking for those exact same bird as well, we call it "Baardmannetje" over here. And you already probably guessed it, ne-ver-found-them-yet-sighhhh... I know they have to be in the area, I've seen shots from others, but I just have no luck. So, you're not alone on this world :). Keep it up, the longer you wait untill you get the shot, the better it gets! :)
I keep sacking my assistants as well, unfortunately I need them to drive me around places as I don't drive, and carry stuff, all this camera equipment is heavy, plus I gave birth to them both so I sort of need to constantly rehire them as they are cheap! 🤣
Can be a great area to visit. Only half an hour from me but I've not been for a long time. From my past experiences though I've found very early mornings to be best for the bearded tit and you can even get them on the path eating grit. A great place for spoonbill too and a variety of other birds such as harriers plus rie deer, fox and badger Hope you have more success on your next visit 👍👍
looks like a great place for spring migration shots
Lovely shots of the goose on the reeds

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍

What a brilliant everyday life of wildlife photographer kind of video. Absolutely loved this one!
Great video buddy
Hi Paul give far ings a try if you want a bittern and others. Rodders.
Cheers Rod. That's actually where I got my only decent Bittern pic!

Thanks William. As always, the more you can learn about your subject the better chance you will have of success
@@PaulMiguelPhotography This is getting ridiculous... ;). Yesterday, I finally found them and was lucky enough to get a couple of shots.
Tough days out make the good ones that much better. Sweet goose shot in the reeds. What backpack are you using? Looks like a nice midsize one

😂
Lol!!
Nice blog Paul different but enjoyable Nice views and glad to see your human dropping camera's 😂 no damage though 🙏I hope!
The vlogging camera has had a few knocks in its time. But it's still going!
@@PaulMiguelPhotography Good sure it will have some more !
Extra 10 mins down the road to Far Ings nature reserve for the bitterns, showing well at the minute
That's really helpful thanks. Have been there once and saw Bittern.
Hiya..do you use some sort of denoiser? Sharpen software
I actually don't. Occasionally will reduce noise and/or selectively sharpen in photoshop.
What camera and lens?
Canon R6 and EF 400mm f5.6 with adapter.
Can be a great area to visit.

Thanks for the info. Ray.
Paul i have maybe a weird question... why do you often have the tripod collar backwards on the lens ? 🤭
I find it easier to hand-hold that way, usually
Sometimes you have to be lucky.. i went out locally at a birdhide and got an hour worth of a bearded tit flying back and forth.
