    Fantastic tips. With my time available; not much, I can set up a portable back garden photo studio. Nip out for the odd hour and move it around and change the props according to light and weather.

    Hi Darell! the way you explain your excellent advice reflects an intense love for nature. The emphasis and naturalness with which you present your experiences is contagious and awakens in us a special sensitivity to observe and enjoy the animal world. My sincere congratulations for your time and dedication. Thanks a lot!
    Greetings from my little ornithological paradise in the Region of Murcia (Spain)

    Hello Darell from Texas! What I did was to find an interesting limb and drill a hole in the end of it and mount it to a tree. I put seed or other food in the hole and make sure that it is parallel to the ground pointing upward like the tree. The birds land on it and get the food out and stay on the end of the limb until they've had enough. The background is far enough away to give me that blurred bokeh. I also use a 200-500mm lens. Will try some of your tips and thanks for the info.

    Hi Darrell Some great tips there. We loved the Blue Tit shot with the wing out and the Robin with the pink flowers. Thanks Jon & Sandra

      You have probably seen that in comps. It got into the RSPB magazine as well.

    Lots of terrific ideas. I especially like the green plastic background idea. My main shooting angle has a messy background and this will really solve the problem. Impressive photos too!

    Hi Darrell, a very helpful video showing the different ways and sets to get that perfect image. Looks like you have a lovely natural garden.

    • @DarrellOakdenPhotography
      @DarrellOakdenPhotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. I think the key to our natural garden is spending very little effort on it. In the future I do intend to do more gardening, but at the moment mowing all the grass is enough work.

  • @think1564

    Wish I had a garden that size with great features to take some lovely images. It has still given me a few useful ideas for my small garden.

      We are lucky to have so much space. I have got ideas to landscape the garden more. Someday maybe.

    Until recently I was using a screen with a cut out as a mobile hide. As I now have a pop up hide I now plan to use the screen as a mobile background thanks to your tip. Lovely pictures.

    Great tips and nice images Darrell. A goods idea with the tray on chains underneath the feeder to catch the dropped seeds. That squirrel-proof feeder would work if there was only one wire perch on it, nothing else for the squirrel to wedge itself against so as to not close the hatch.

    Excellent, Darrell! Lots of great tips and as for the photographs - all superb. My out and out favourite was the beautiful blue tit at approx 13:45. Loved that the woodpecker was right on cue a bit earlier too - how did you manage to get him to do that fly past?! Lol!

    Hi Darrell. In my garden I have 5 feeders 1 Ground Feeder and a water bowl. The feeders are Suet Pellet Feeder. Fat Ball Feeder. Sunflower Heart. Peanut. And just a normal mixed feeder (They are all clean) There Is a bird table coming out off the hedge and the feeders are on a pole nearby. There isn't any cats. But even with all this I only get 21 Species that is probaly quite good but I haven't seen most of them andif I do it's no to regular so what could I do to get more to come?.

    My ‘dropped’ bird seed is gratefully hoovered up by our resident Hedgehog as soon as it’s dark.

      Yes I am very lucky where I live. I used to live in a terrace and would have snapped somebodies arm off for a 20x20 garden. It is not lost on me how privileged I am.

    Having squirrel proof feeders is crazy... You want to attract as many animals to the pool as possible.

    • @DarrellOakdenPhotography
      @DarrellOakdenPhotography  ปีที่แล้ว

      They steal all the food and destroy the feeders. They don’t seem to have grasped the concept of sharing.

  • @blackbird3456

    It's only gonna work for seed eaters. I'm trying to get warblers, water birds and swallows. I've never seen a birdfeeder having insects in it to attracked insect eaters.
