Great to see Pops looking well and back enjoying his photography. Keep spending the kids inheritance Pops, give Dan a fit.lol really great to see you back.🙂
Great to see you both together enjoying those superb moments capturing the stunning photos of the barn owl. Superb against the sunset. Love the photo against the black background Dan. Love Pop’s dry whit and of course a Man of many words.
Awesome images Dan and Pops, both of you!! Good to see you both out enjoying nature and each other!! Thanks for bringing us along! 😊 Congratulations on the new lens Stuart!! Very nice! 😃
Amazing, just amazing. Those shots of the barn owl are absolutely stunning. Such an amazing bird to see and watch even just flying around. Great video as always!
Another interesting video and love the banter between you two. Only in England do people ever use the word, "Supper". Quintessentially British.👍 I'm back from my five weeks in the UK and I'm starting to wade through over 5000 (at least) photographs for processing. Some firsts for me include Peregrine Falcon (Chorley), Long-eared Owl (Burnley), Atlantic Puffin (Bempton Cliffs), Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Kingfisher (Martin Mere RSPB), Nuthatch, Long-tailed Tit, Jackdaw, Razorbill, Guillemot, Black-headed Gull, Fulmar, Kittiwake, Lapwing, Hobby (Leighton Moss RSPB), Red Squirrels (Penrith) and more. One thing that I didn't realise I missed was the call of some of the common species. Seagulls are a classic example. Great trip and I visited some great places, some of which I discovered from watching your videos. Keep 'em coming. 👍
Thanks very much John. Wow what a list of species ticked off on your trip, you have got to be pleased with that mate. I'm really pleased that the videos have helped in planning your trip. All the very best mate 👍🏻
That was a top video Dan and Pops. Lots of great photos and video and some interesting shots to say the least by both you gents. And also like the way you talk about the behavior the birds, how do you figure that out and put yourself in a position to get the shots. And persist! I felt like I was right in the middle of the shoot with you on some of those videos. Here he comes here he comes.10 o'clock 10 o'clock. Get on and get on, lock on lock on. It was a lot of fun. Hope to see many more.
Thanks very much Scott, it certainly sounds like I achieved what is always the aim of putting the viewer into the shoot with us. Thanks for sharing that, as it has really made my night. What I will say is that there was several weeks of planning and observing that went into this video, ensuring that I knew exactly what the behavioural habits were of the owl before I brought Pops along. Thanks again and all the best 👍🏻
Great seeing Pops back out & keeping you in line!🤣As for who’s the better photographer…you both get some wonderful images between you.Stunning work & always enjoy the banter between you & your Dad💙
Another very enjoyable video, Dan. It is great to see Pops back in the saddle. I hope that he is continuing to recover well. I was so pleased to see one of my favourite birds featured in your latest video. Unlike your stunning and amazing photos, I have only managed record shots of Barn Owls to date. In fact, I have had far more success with Short-eared Owls on the south Essex marshes in winter. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks very much Richard, I really do appreciate it mate. Keep trying with those Barnies and I'm certain you will get some epic shots eventually. It's taken some serious hours and learning to get close enough to them to get some good shots so just keep plugging away. Take care and all the best 👍🏻
Smashing shots and vids of those barn owls! The one of the owl looking directly at you was amazing. Congrats to Pops on that new 400mm lens! I know a guy who has that and he gets stellar results even with the 2x TC for peregrines! Probably the best all-around lens for bird photography on the market now. Makes us Canon shooters jealous, especially the built-in TC.
Thanks very much mate I really appreciate it. I totally agree with you about the 400mm lens, it is it's versatility that is it's greatest appeal which is unusual for a prime lens. All the best 👍🏻
Brilliant video of the barn owl with a super for its chicks can’t beat an evening out with the barn owl pleased to see pops out with you looking well 👍🏻👍🏻
Another cracking video Dan, I have to say, you have a fantastic relationship with Pops, having photographed dozens of Barn Owls I can vouch for how fast they can be at times :)
Thanks very much Chris, I do feel very blessed to share my passion with my best mate (Pops) we have such a laugh when we are out together. All the best 👍🏻
Another great video Dan and Pops now Pops can show you how to use the lenses 😂😂 continue the great work keep it up stay safe take care the pair of you.
Great video and images Dan and Stewart "Pops"! You guys are such fun to hang out with. Thanks so much for sharing your outings with me! (And no spot on the sensor... LOL!!!)
Great video guys and good to hear Pops talking about his 2X/400F2.8 and 180-600 setup logic. The 180-600 is such a great lens I haven't (yet) decided to plunge in to 800 , but maybe I wont.😏
Your close up shots with 400 (no 2x?) are so sharp 👏👏you have got me thinking now as F5.6/7.1 , 1/400@ 9pm at night just cant stop ISO spiralling and even Topaz can't rescue that. The loss of light between 8pm and 9pm in August is quite startling 😖
You are absolutely right Simon. I did try the 2x TC with the 400 but tbh the ISO climbed so high the images were going to appear soft and so it was better to shoot at 400mm and then crop in to the image. All the best mate 👍🏻
Awesome stuff Dan & Stu, Everyone loves a barn owl 🦉 ❤ Some super footage & stills, love the gentle rivalry & banter between father & son too & chuffed to see Stu looking so well & out & about. (He’s still the better photographer Dan, & deep down you know it!) 😂 Seriously though, you guys are both great photographers & entertainers & I love the content you put out. Going back to the kestrel vs barn owl scenario; I have witnessed & photographed (very badly) this behaviour myself on many occasions. And you’re both dead right, the barn owls have learnt to outpace the kestrels to get that food back to the owlets safely. Down here in Suffolk, the ones that I have watched for the past 4 years do the opposite to what your Northern barn owls do though… Our owls get the prey & come in low with it until they’re approaching the barn where the box is located; then they go up really high & dive really fast into the barn - almost peregrine like but obviously slower. It’s fabulous to witness, & by adopting this method it seems to have the kestrels stumped. In an out & out open field aerial battle, the kestrels win every time. They’re very fast, agile & simply out manoeuvre the barn owls to rob them of their prey. All a part of the hierarchy that is the wonder of nature! A fantastic vlog, told honestly as well, depicting the many hours & visits it takes to get enough footage & captures together to produce a viable vlog. Great stuff guys! Fabulous sunset shots too 🙌👌👏👏👏 Keep on keeping on! All the best, Nick
Thanks very much Nick, I always appreciate and enjoy reading your comments mate. Really interesting to hear what your Barn Owls have done to avoid the Kestrels and what a fantastic bit of behavioural adaptation you have witnessed mate. I know that Pops is the far superior photographer, he has taught me everything I know and continues to do so. What's great is he is always happy to share his knowledge and I am like a sponge just soaking it up. Thanks once again mate and hope we cross paths at some point in the future. All the best 👍🏻
@@danwillis_photography Never too old to learn mate, I still do too. I’ve taught my Dad to become a better photographer, & I just love it when he gets excited about seeing & photographing new species to him; & even better when he has great photos of them. Yes the wonders of nature & how they adapt to overcome ‘obstacles’ is just fascinating! I bet you didn’t know where to point your lens for the opener of this vlog, the barn owl or the buzzard…. Wonderful stuff mate! Definitely hope to meet up with you both sometime soon. Maybe a winter short eared owl trip or two down this way or up your way sometime… Best, Nick
Thanks very much, I know only to well that drawing a blank is part and parcel of wildlife photography. It doesn't make it any easier though 😂 Take care and all the best 👍🏻
You're so lucky to Barnies that are out during daylight Dan. Very lucky where I am to have quite a few nest sites but they are rarely on the wing until late and after sunset. One tip on tracking them while in flight and videoing. Try using the screen and not the viewfinder with a fluid video head and panning handle. I'm shooting Z9 with 500 f4 and find is much easier and smooth that way. Keep up the good work and good to see pops out with you
Thanks very much for your tip, I have been considering a video head for some time now for this exact reason. Is there one in particular you would recommend?
@@danwillis_photography I've used a Manfrotto MVH502 for a while but more recently moved over to a Satchler ACE XL fluid head. Far more expensive but much more flexible with counter balance settings etc. You do notice the difference. I alos use with a Satchlers Flowtech tripod which makes setup very easy. Not as light as a traditional tripod maybe but is very easy to use and solid
Thanks very much Andrew. I knew the minute that I took that shot of the rim lit owl I had captured something a bit different. I'm glad you appreciated it mate. All the best
Increddible shots. I've just recently got a Z8 and I've been out trying out different focus modes etc. I've found a couple of barn owls about 5 mins walk from my house but they appear to be just sat in their hole in the tree on the lookout. Going to have to keep having a walk and see if I can get some shots of them flying.
Sounds like you have discovered some owlets in the tree, keep returning as it will be any day now that they fledge and you stand the chance of getting some incredible images. All the best 👍🏻
Great video Dan, how nice to see Pops out and about, some nice shots out of small opportunities, the silent assassins are the top of the birds of prey to watch, I’ve literally had them pass me within a few metres before and not known about it until seeing them fly into the distance, as a bird carver in my previous life I did a full sized carving of one which was my greatest ever piece of work, which I posted earlier today on my IG page 👍

He's definitely spending that inheritance 😂😂😂 and good on him, he earned it 👍🏻
Thanks very much Stephen, really appreciate mate.

What a beautiful animal and photos! I have yet to see a barn owl in real life, so I can only hope that one day this might happen. 😀
I do hope you do they are a wonderful bird, so graceful.
Thanks and all the best 😊
Another interesting video and love the banter between you two. Only in England do people ever use the word, "Supper". Quintessentially British.👍
I'm back from my five weeks in the UK and I'm starting to wade through over 5000 (at least) photographs for processing. Some firsts for me include Peregrine Falcon (Chorley), Long-eared Owl (Burnley), Atlantic Puffin (Bempton Cliffs), Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Kingfisher (Martin Mere RSPB), Nuthatch, Long-tailed Tit, Jackdaw, Razorbill, Guillemot, Black-headed Gull, Fulmar, Kittiwake, Lapwing, Hobby (Leighton Moss RSPB), Red Squirrels (Penrith) and more.
One thing that I didn't realise I missed was the call of some of the common species. Seagulls are a classic example. Great trip and I visited some great places, some of which I discovered from watching your videos. Keep 'em coming. 👍
Thanks very much John.

Fabulous as always, I love watching barn owls. I'm watching three youngsters nearly ready to fledge.
That's fantastic, they are all fledging round here now so hope yours are too 😁

Thanks very much Jon, I did spend some considerable time cleaning that sensor so I am glad that you noticed 👍🏻

Lovely video, Dan. I am so jealous of those apertures. I have the 100-400 and 160-600 with the 1.4TC so can get the reach but need good light.
Thanks Geoff, it does help in the low light but to be honest the 180-600mm lens is an awesome bit of kit mate 👍🏻
Amazing birds. Saw the first one in my life last week down reddish Vale. Couldn't believe my luck. Great vid as always mate.
Thanks very much mate, appreciate it. Didn't realise we had them down the vale, might pop down there myself.
All the best 👍🏻
