Another great video, all good points. I have started concentrating more or at leased as much on the setting or background of my shots. This I think is the best way to make your shots different. Everyone has seen a puffin but set it in a beautiful background and that makes the story and a difference. Your point about taking too many shots is a good one and just because a camera will take 30 fps is not a reason to do so, but in some situations like waiting for an animal or bird to do something it can pay off taking a fast burst. Because you will then get the shot that not even you saw. Thanks for posting.
Hi. I'm always checking myself for ticks, but I've only ever had one once - and that was in Scotland - where there are a lot more ticks than in England. They say that between 2% and 5% of tick bites lead to lyme disease - and I didn't get anything after my tick bite. So the risks fairly low, but I still take precautions. There are more ticks where there is long grass (because they need you to brush by the grass so they can attach themselves to you) and there are more ticks where there are mammals (cattle, deer, rabbits etc) because they want to bite a mammal and suck its blood. They can bite birds too, but its relatively rare compared to mammals. So whenever I'm in long grass I tuck my trousers in to my socks and whenever I'm lying on the ground in an area with lots of mammals I wear long sleeves. In the next video, which should be out this weekend, I'm photographing rabbits and you'll notice I have long sleeves on. I also carry a tick removal tool both in my camera bag and in the car. As long as you take sensible precautions you can keep the risks low. I've only been bitten once and I probably spend a lot more time in the places where ticks are than most people. Thanks for watching.

Good points, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thought provoking and excellent! It is always refreshing to see a video that does not promote buying gear.
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't make many gear videos - mainly because there are too many gear videos already. Thanks for watching.
Great tips Scott thanks ever so much.
I'm glad you found it useful, thanks for watching.
Hi Scott section on “change things up” resonated with me. I will experiment some more😀 thankyou
