How to set up for winter bird photography – One year later!
It’s been a year since my last winter bird photography setup video, and I’m excited to share the next chapter with you! This time, I’ve added a brand-new location for capturing birdlife, a bit further from home, while still keeping the original island setup from the first video.
Join me as I revisit familiar grounds and explore a new winter spot, both offering enchanting snowy landscapes and vibrant feathered friends. Together, we’ll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the season while learning new photography techniques to make the most of winter birding opportunities.
Here are some of the birds that will grace today’s adventure:
🐦 Blue Tit - Watch these brilliant blue and yellow birds bring color to the winter forest.
🌟 Great Tit - Elegant and striking, this bird’s bold black and yellow plumage is always a delight to photograph.
🌿 Long-Tailed Tit - See these charming social birds flit through trees in tight flocks, adding warmth to the frosty landscape.
🍃 Willow Tit - The elusive Willow Tit, with its dark cap and slightly darker plumage, blends beautifully with the winter woods, offering a challenge to capture on camera.
🌲 Coal Tit - Often seen darting in and out of the branches, the Coal Tit’s distinctive black cap and white cheeks make it a captivating subject for any winter photographer.
❄️ Goldcrest - The tiniest bird in Europe, the Goldcrest’s rapid movements make it a challenge to capture, but its stunning appearance with a bright crown makes every shot worth the effort.
🌟 Robin - The iconic and bold Robin is often a winter companion, offering its bright red chest and curious nature, perfect for adding a touch of charm to any winter bird photography session.
In this video, I’ll guide you through both setups, sharing tips on how to optimize your site for winter photography, choosing the best vantage points, and adjusting for changing light and weather conditions.
Grab your hot drink, bundle up, and let’s embark on a winter bird photography adventure like no other! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your favorite winter bird or photo tip in the comments.
