  • Is that...? Surely not? Oh my god! It's actually the Sun, here to shine beautiful rays down on us here in the UK. I can't think of anything better to do other than go birding down one of my favourite nature reserves; Ladywalk.
    Will I actually see anything cool today, well judging by the length of the video, I think we may be on for a winner.

    Nature is one of the best ways to reset and relax when having a rough day. Glad you had a great time and hope it helped rejuvenate you!

    nothing is as relaxing as a forest or a swamp, for those who know how to truly appreciate it with their heart, thanks Damian

      I absolutely agree, just sitting down and watching the world pass you by, enjoying everything from the smallest insects to the largest mammals, nothing beats being out in nature.

    Impressive shots Damian, I like the added information. Nice to see my favourite bird passing by, the robin. Nature always helps to clear my head. Cheers from the Netherlands

    Great video mate !!! And you're totally right, I find a day out in nature with my camera just melts away those bad days we have, just helps me disconnect from it all. Look forward to the next video !!!

    • @damianjohnwildlife
      @damianjohnwildlife  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Absolutely, it's funny because I'll happily sit in a hide for hours and not see a thing, all about the process. Clearing your head and getting out there ☺️

    You had me hooked from the start with that little rabbit! But what a great spot for you at the end, the peregrine! Lucky you! Really enjoy your vids - not too much waffle, gentle music and great footage. Well done!

      Sods law with the Peregrine, I was all packed away and ready to go but nope, Ladywalk loves throwing out little surprises. Thank you for joining me again! 😄

    I'm using a dot sight for flight shots 800mm or 1200mm dot sight allows for wider field of view to follow the bird at close range . Sits on the hotshot calibrate it to the centre focus point on the rear live view. 😊

    • @damianjohnwildlife
      @damianjohnwildlife  Před 4 měsíci

      That's really interesting, truth be told I've never heard of dot sights for cameras, do you use a specific one?

    Hey. Shooting live music can be tedious yes. We talked about it at the Asylum. This is much more fun imo. Good luck man!
