- This video covers how to build a reflection pool for woodland bird photography. I also build perches to create a woodland bird feeding station.
once I've finished building the set up I spend my first two hours in the hide. Have a look to see what my results are like. At the end of the video I show my first reflection pool shots. Which are a really nice surprise.

Brilliant thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks very much Gra, really pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, cheers Steve.
Great project! I built a reflection pool 2 years ago and it is always worth the work!!! Kind regards, Rolf
Thanks very much Rolf, yes it's a great project to do. I'm looking forward to getting in the hide now. Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.
Nice one Steve. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks very much Rob, I'm really looking forward to spending some time in the hide now. Cheers, Steve.
More this video please. Thank you.
Thanks very much Srdan, glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Steve.
Great setup Steve, I have always wanted to do a reflection pool in the garden so might give it a try. Look forward to more images from there. Cheers Keith
Thanks very much Keith, yeah definitely worth giving it a go I think. I'm looking forward to spending some time in the hide and seeing what turns up. Cheers, Steve.
Well done, Steve. Some nice ideas there. It's -25 and snowy here so the reflecting pond is going to have to wait a few months! In the meantime, I need to bundle up and get out with my camera. Have a great weekend.
Thanks very much Jon, wow that is cold but I'm guessing you will get some great photo opportunities in those weather conditions. You have a good weekend too. All the best, Steve.
You should start another channel about DIY 😀 Good video and nice shots as per normal mate.
Thanks very much Steve, a long long time ago I was a carpenter. So revisiting old skills. I prefer being a photographer though. Cheers, Steve.
Well done Steve great idea 👍 Look forward to meeting up and you never know might be making a visit to Essex sometime 🤞👍👍👍
Thanks very much Spike, yeah I'm looking forward to seeing what turns up now. Always good to meet up with fellow photographers. All the best, Steve.
Great work Steve ! You just need a Sparrowhawk to take a bath, this actually happened in my garden reflection pool ! Keeping fingers crossed for you 👍
Cheers Mark, yeah a Sparrowhawk would be fantastic. I am really looking forward to getting the Gt Spotted Woodpeckers on the reflection pool. All the best, Steve.
@@SteveHedgesPhotography Yep. I am hoping to get one of those beauties today in the New Forest !
Good luck mate.
Wonderful Steve, you get photo opportunity's and the birds get food and water. All round win 👍
Thanks very much Lesley, yes win win situation. Looking forward to spending time in the hide now. Cheers, Steve.
Great video once again Steve. Hopefully in the new year I would love to book a spot in your hide please. Rgds Gary
Thanks very much Gary. I do have places free at the hide in the New Year. Here a link to the page on my website if you are interested. www.stevehedgesphotography.co.uk/woodland-bird-photography-course/ Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.
@@SteveHedgesPhotography Thanks Steve, if I haven't already I will bookmark your website, thanks for the link.
Good tip about the gloves when emptying the pool. I didnt think you could catch weils disease like that. I will bear that in mind.
Hi Roger, yes it's a problem if you have a cut on your hand. Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.
Fantastic. Hope to do same soon. Thanks
Hi Gary, thanks very much. Yes a reflection pool is a great addition to a photography set up. Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.
Great Stuff Steve!!
You've got a really nice set up there with the hide and everything. I'd love somewhere like that, it's finding the land though...🙂👍🏻
Hi Eddie, thanks very much. Yes I'm very lucky. Really looking forward to spending some time in the hide now. Cheers, Steve.
Nice work Steve!
The old saying goes “build a home for nature & they will come” This proves that, & it’s lovely to see how quickly the birds arrive & start feeding. I did hear the Buzzard through your lapel mic by the way too 👍
I reckon you will get birds of prey visiting there too, especially through winter. Sparrowhawks will soon see the attraction of lots of woodland birds in numbers, & you could have that as an added bonus. The badgers will soon be in hibernation mode, but they too will find the nuts & bird seed spill & use it as a food source.
Best of luck with it buddy, & friend & I are just starting our own similar adventure up here in Suffolk - but we only have a large rural garden enclosed with hedgerows & not a woodland; but we think it’s gonna work. 🤞
Keep on keeping on mate, look forward to seeing it progress.
Best,
Nick
Thanks very much Nick, yep you're right give wildlife a home and food source and they will arrive. I would love to get a Sparrowhawk, fingers crossed. I'm looking forward to getting the Gt Spotted Woodpeckers on the reflection pool as well. Good luck with your feeding station. Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.
Hey Steve, looks like a great setup. In time of more use it will be fun to make some changes to it as well. I enjoy hide photography as well. You shared some really nice photos too. Greg
Thanks very much Greg, yes I'm looking forward to spending some time in the hide now. Particularly looking forward to hopefully getting the Gt Spotted Woodpeckers on the reflection pool. Thanks for watching, cheers, Steve.
Needed to hear this 🙌!!! Get to the top fast = "Promo sm"!!!
