Your choice of relaxation is a win win situation, for you and us. Thanks so much, Ashley. Loved the story of the kingfisher chicks queuing in the nest. Never heard of this before.
Great vid Ashley as usual I don’t know nothing about photography but love the king fisher and the videos thanks and look forward to the next in wales 👍
Very nice. Where I live, we only have the Belted Kingfisher. They are very skittish. The juvis are a bit more tolerant. Would love to get them diving, but my reflexes are just not good enough. Ours are as colorful, but still a beautiful bird. Would love to have a place to have a hide, but around here they are along public parks. I do what I can with what I am given. Have been watching then for years and this years brood seems to be very lazy. I did manage a few nice images of a juvi with a crayfish. Striving and getting the images is part of the fun.
Cheers Luke many thanks for the comment, the image was taken on the R6 with the 24-105 RF lens, at f4, 1/2000 sec, ISO-2500 at a focal length of 50mm , yeh itcame out ok, many thanks.
Man! These shots are amazing and inspiring. Makes me wanna get out more! I know in the bio it shows the gear used, but it would be awesome if on each photo it had a tiny caption saying what camera and lense :) maybe what mm you shot at too. :)
Hi Brian many thanks for the comment, Yeh on some videos I do put the settings, and others I don't. I will try to put more info on such videos in the future, always good to get viewer's feedback thanks.👍
@@alunlambert7456 hi Alun, many thanks for your comment, don't tend to use any of the extenders on my 100 to 500. I do have the one times extender, however I do find that it makes the images softer and I only tend to use it for video.
@@WildlifePhotographerUK Thank you for replying, I’m just toying with the idea of going back to Canon and was trying to work out my options for a long focal length but not be paying £10000 plus for the big canon lenses
It's the net. These are paid hides with buckets of fish. Proper birders really kick off over these types of setups. You can see what the setup looks like on Google. That said nearly every amazing wildlife shot you ever saw these days was "faked" or paid for so it is what it is I guess.
@pentagramyt417 I've not done so myself but to be fair there isn't much chance of getting shots like these in the wild because you have no idea where a Kingfisher will dive. I guess they have some value in teaching beginners the basics and such although many people are against them as the Kingfishers can hurt themselves when diving in these setups.
Another great video Ashley. Brilliant images, love these videos. Cheers
Congrats to these amazing captures and videos of that beautiful kingfisher 💙🧡🩵🤩

Great hide was in there last year. Well worth a visit
Your photo at 9:52 is absolutely stunning. The crisp sharpress of the image and capturing both the bird and the water looks incredible

Great vlog, as always, how do you find the Canon EF 2x III Extender with the 100-500

Hello Ashley. Great photos as always. Can you tell us what focal length you had your 24-105mm set at please?
HI Paul it was set to around 58mm 👍
Complimenti per l'attrezzatura e le foto, posso chiederti cosa sono quelle basi da tavolo nere dove è avvitato il Gimbal? Grazie
The Set up looks like a studio
9:50 Great shot but I see an artifact (criss-cross pattern) or am I seeing things?

@@JoeMaranophotography Ahhh...good to know and thanks for the quick reply!
@FQ8 By chance I happened to see the video thumbnail pop up recommended and thought I would see how many angry comments it had. Luckily none lol
