Photographing Kingfishers, Buzzards & Otters || Sony A1 || Wildlife Photography Hides (Bourne)

Join me as I once again visit Tom Robinson's Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne in Lincolnshire. I spend over 20 hours, with friend Rob Flemming, visiting Tom's pond hide. Tom researches his local area, as well as his extensive family farm, to promote wildlife conservation and give visitors to his hides, the opportunity to photograph a multitude of species, which are changed seasonably depending on breeding success. 🦉 The idea of the 24 hours was to attempt to photograph Kingfishers at Tom's 'Pond Hide' during the day, as well as for the first time, photograph raptors from one of the other elevations of the hide, overlooking a small meadow. During nocturnal hours, Tom sets up some permanent lighting and flashes over the pond, in the hope of photographing Otters and Herons by night. The hides are in my opinion, exceptional, both in terms of design and setup, offering an amazing opportunity to view and photograph the target species.

We used constant low level lighting and soft flash. I hope you enjoy, Adam #birds #wildlife #tomrobinson #wildlifephotography #wildlifehides #sonyalpha Please remember to hit the bell 🔔 icon to get notifications, and if you enjoy the video, please consider subscribing to my channel so that we can share this journey together.
