- In this video I visit my kingfisher hide and photograph Kingfishers. After a seven month absence the Kingfishers have returned. I will show you my hide and the stunning photographs I took of the Kingfisher and several other birds.
Please enjoy this video.

In this video Darrell Oakden visits his Kingfisher hide and gets some amazing photos.
Lovely juvenile capture
Awesome setup you have there and some absolute bangers Darrell well done.
Some cracking shots there.
Hi Darrell, jealous or what, all your hard work has paid off, the backgrounds are lovely and smooth😀
Thank you so much 😀
Great video as always Darrell.
Thanks Lee.
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography I've been trying to get kingfishers on several occasions but with no luck yet.
Some great images Darrell & hide is working very well. Keep an eye on the Himalayan Balsam around the hide, if not kept in check it will be everywhere & difficult to get rid of.
Keep up the great work.
Great job. Hello from Malaysia.
Thanks very much. I don’t think I’ve had any viewers from Malaysia. Welcome.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Darrell, great video thanks for sharing, just a little info for you when you have still photos and the light isn't great eg, fog and mist the DEHAZE slider in Lightroom is your best friend, it's surprising how you can add a little life back into a washed-out photo.
Just goes to show if ya put the time and effort into wildlife photography it pays off....... take note fellow photographers.
You are quite right Mark. A ten minute video doesn't convey the preparation time and sitting around waiting. I am sat in the hide as I type this. I am working on another video and so far have logged about ten hours sat waiting.
Just wonderful. Time and patience pays off. I've been working with kingfishers locally this year and it's not easy.
Yours look like juveniles to me with the darker feet and legs as well as shorter beaks. I hope they stay for you, at least one should and set up a territory.
Keep up the good work, just a joy to see.
D'ya know, even if you never saw any birds I'd still watch your channel anyway because your enthusiasm is so infectious!
What a kind comment. Thank you very much.
Hello Thank you for these very nice views Friendships from France
Vous êtes les bienvenus. Ravi de savoir que j'ai des téléspectateurs en France.
First time watching your vids, great guy, great hide and superb images, you can count me in from now on.
Thank you so much Shaun. Very kind comments -glad you enjoyed the vid.
Love the videos Darrell, amazing fieldcraft! Yep I'd second the comment that the 'male' kingfisher is a juvenile, potentially another female one as looks like her lower mandible is starting to change colour?
Thanks Robin. The Kingfishers seem to have vanished again. I've been to the hide a few times this year and not seen them.
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography perhaps they're preparing a new nest or are incubating some eggs, mine fledged on saturday, best of luck with yours and i hope you get some more wonderful images
Awesome! Beautiful photos! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
hey Darrell great shots and great video
Thanks.
Perseverance is the key. Fantastic.
Wait for the video in a few weeks. An even more amazing sighting happened a few days ago.
excellent video **subbed**
Thanks for that.
Wonderful video.
Thanks Bob
Hey Darrell, looks like you had a great time in the hide. Most neighbor's wouldn't like having something like that on their property around here... maybe one that looks more natural and blends in. It must be exciting to have the Kingfishers come in so close! Great video and still photos for sure! Great setup! Say'in hey... Greg
I am very lucky to have such a generous neighbour. I have just had a canvas printed for him of the Kingfisher on the mossy stick. It is still very exciting to have the bird land a few metres away.
Hey Darrell, I am sure they will really enjoy the print. It always looks so fresh and green there. We have been in a multi year drought here and it feels and looks so dry. As always I look forward to your videos!
Greg
Darrell, excellent photographs of all of the birds. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Craig. Hope Shelley and yourself enjoyed it. I am really pleased to have the Kingfishers back.
@@DarrellOakdenPhotographyas with all of your videos, we did enjoy this one😉. Watching your videos on Sunday is something that we look forward to. See you on the next one.
I think your hide is great and I would love to have access to something like that. The kingfisher images are super, but the grey wagtail picture pretty near the end, I thought was superb. Looking forward to next week's....!
Thanks a lot . I am lucky to have the hide and for it to be so close. I had an exciting sighting coming up in a video in a few weeks.
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography Great stuff! Can't wait!!
