Speechless moment // BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY - Photographing waterfowl from ground blind

  • The spring is an amazing season for bird photography. The great crested grebe is a bird that I love to photograph. The courtship is what I am after. Especially the famous dance of the great crested grebe. I use the ground blind to get close to the birds without disturbing. I use the hokki blind from tragopan. Hope you find this inspiring and get out there and photograph waterfowls yourself.
    Camera I use is Nikon Z9 and Nikon 600mm f/4 FL lense.
