The HARSH Reality of wildlife photography in the UK

The UK, as great as it can be, can be a real pain for undertaking any form of bird or wildlife photography, as discussed in today's bonus bank holiday video! However, its not all doom and gloom, as mentioned here...

I totally hear you, and feel your pain.

I hail from Florida (southern part) in the US. It’s flat, hot, buggy, hot, flat, buggy, and generally miserable outside for 9 months of the year. We do have lots of birds in the winter months. And alligators…

Great talk! The UK is indeed a very special place, coming from continental Switzerland!

Your title is wrong. It should be "The HARSH Reality of the UK"

The grass is always greener...sometimes I'm limited to house sparrow, minor and doves. On rare occasions galah corella and spinebills grace me. Bigger animals here I've found are being pushed out. Roos, wombats, koala, echidna.

I very much enjoy ambling through the local woods (West Yorkshire, near Hebden Bridge) with camera and a pair of binoculars. The bird song is delightful and a decent pair of binoculars really do help to spot them. I aim to get a longer lens (300mm is my longest ATM) so that I can actually our wild birds to fill the frame. Deer are a bonus on the odd occasion that I see them :-)

Isn't it times like this that you wish you were a landscape photographer Mike? lol. 😂😂😉😉 The thing with wildlife is that it will do what it likes, whether you like it or not eh?
