in my area where do i live,they are alway mocking me. waiting a hour and hour. but when i leave they appear.

Thanks for sharing your tips to photograph kingfishers. Nice YT channel! I will gladly leave a subscription and looking forward for new videos about wildlife 😉

Cracking video as always mate, really enjoyed !!! Some great tips as well.

This summer I spent a lot of time watching them. Unfortunately, the half dozen perches I have located all have 360 degree views so approach isn't possible, that means a blind set up before the sunrise. I'll be ready next yr.

Super video. I got my first one after a year of figuring out where they perch on my local river. I now know the habits and behaviour of this particular one. It perched for about 5 seconds but felt like 30 mins.

Great video Andy. Always great when a kingfisher gets close enough to photograph. Do you ever get the chance for diving shots?

Kingfishers are also much more likely to return to a perch if they catch from it, so worth trying a few different areas..

Great tips Andy, I have belted Kingfishers here along the creek beside my property and they certainly can be hard to get shots of.

Heelllooo What a fantastic vlog great tips

Lovely video pal and nice to see your efforts rewarded 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant video and top advice mate 👏🏻👏🏻

One last tip....if you happen to find a nest keep away from it and do not share the location !, especially during breeding season. Kingfisher are a protected schedule one species

Nice tips. I'm a carp Fisherman and take photos of wildlife between bites. I might introduce a perch to try and capture a kingfisher 👍

Hi Andy! I follow you on Instagram for a while and didn’t realize you have a UA-cam channel. You have way more potential here on UA-cam. I‘m still working on growing myself, but I may have some tips for you. Drop me a note if you’re interested (not gonna sell you anything 😉).

Love that you care about animals, including insects ❤️.

You didn’t show the bed downstairs

What an awesome setup!

It’s a really good idea to do your pieces to camera out of the wind. Its uncomfortable to listen to, on an otherwise interesting and well put together video

Great video Andy and really insightful! I've started my wildlife photography and youtube journey this year and it's been an incredible experience. I've been looking at a Isle of Mull visit for next year so this is really food for thought!!! Love the channel and have subscribed.

Lovely van, is the rear ladder a generic stitches and steel one or has it been modified? Cheers

Nice van mate how much did it cost for them convert it

Awesome video pal and the van is a belter 🔥

love it! nice and inconspicuous too

Vantastic mate. Great little vid and love the setup. 😍

She’s a beaut mate 👌🏻

amazing

Top advice. As regular visitors to Mull & with a good working knowledge on our last trip we decided to try a van based “wildlife tour” as something different. Maybe learn something new ?? Our “guide” took an instant dislike to us once he learned we knew most of the productive spots & had already seen most of what he had to offer. He spoke to us in a condescending manner throughout the trip & towards the end was just downright rude to us. We walked away with a bad taste in our mouth & a considerable amount of money wasted in our opinion. This operator was happy to advertise all the Mull wildlife but as long as you saw it with him. My advice would be if you have a basic skill & knowledge of the area - do it yourself. Choose wisely. Mull Charters however are consistently superb & highly recommended.

Look forward to seeing you in Estonia next year 😀

Hi from Uruguay, great photography! I never payed except once for a photo birding tour, mainly because it's amazingly expensive to people of the third world.But let me tell you that for the same price of a tour we went twice to Iceland and saw all we wanted. Yet in Spain a local tour was suggested for us and he was awsome, it all depends for us if we can afford it, and also if my body will endure a whole day of photography. By the way, boat photography of wildlife is one of my prefered ways to see what's going on in the oceans and lakes!

I went to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan with Rubythroat tours specializing in bird photography. Yes, it was quite expensive, but it was so worth it as we would have struggled to get half the birds we photographed...

looking at the prices , they seem very good ,5 days ,food all inclusive 1500£ with guide and boat trips

A fantastic video and great insight to your trip to Mull pal, loved meeting up with you for a day 🙏🏻

mate the shots you got were unbelievable!

Interesting insight - thanks for sharing. I guess you can't go wrong with Mull or Adam. I've followed Adam on Insta and UA-cam for some time, so it was great to see your review. Can I suggest one of them fluffy microphone thingy ma jigs for you, as I struggled to hear what you were saying a lot of the time with the wind noise which was a shame, but other than that - fantastic - one new follower .

The cost of the trip is £1,450 but does not include travel to Scotland and that is for a twin bedded room. I have always thought that UK wildlife tours were probably not staggeringly good value for money for many photographers. I am based on the South coast so the cost of travel to the West of Scotland is eye-watering but I have quite good and relatively cheap access to airports. So for me many flights are pretty cheap and even the flight included tour option is quite good. I have been visiting the West Coast since the 1960's so am familiar with the environment and wildlife. For many foreign trips local knowledge and wildlife information are essential and it may be difficult or even impossible for the independent traveller to succeed which is not true on Mull.

You just cannot go wrong on the Isle of Mull for wildlife photography, BUT you really do need a day with a local expert to pick out the spots where wildlife sightings are most common. Eg Eagles nests, otter locations, etc. It just makes like so much easier. After that you can go back to them in your own time.

Amazing Video Andy! So glad you all had an incredible time together. Great Videography 🎉

Pleasure to have you mate and a great snapshot of what we got up to. Really informative and great advice too 👌🏻

Totally agree about the owners of small woodland habitats keeping the developers from ruining the area & building on it; a friend of mine has bought all the land around his properly including a small woodland purposely so that developers can’t have it. We have his permission to put up some hides too, so exciting stuff. Setting up, maintaining & looking after hides & its guests is hard work; & requires dedication & time, as you well know. There are still no guarantees that the wildlife will come just because you have put some food offerings out, & provided a shed & some cover to hide yourself in; there will always be those that are dead against them. Having just watched your 2023 video “Quick tip from the hide” as well as this one; your ethos & opinion is bang on for me. It DOES give you the opportunity to get closer than you would ordinarily do out in the wild; but as you said it’s not the substitute for that & that will always be the priority. There are many variations & opinions on the theme of ‘ethical wildlife photography’ & it’s always going to be the controversial can of worms topic. From what I have seen of your work, you are sustaining an area for wildlife & providing a little supplementary food - nothing wrong in that for me! At risk of repeating your words, time in a hide also allows you to correct/tweak your settings on the camera - which in the fleeting moments out in the field you may not get the time to do. Great stuff Andy. Keep on keeping on! Best, Nick

Just found your channel, loved the video- so i hit the like button and subscribed. Im going to look if you did anything on your amazing post production skills

How do I join the men’s group. I really need it

Another great video and tutorial mate :)

Thanks for your useful content, just starting out here uploading old videos for now until I am confident enough to try talking to camera. It takes a lot of work to produce content like this and you've done a great job.

Great video! Love your intro of beautiful bird photography. New subscriber here ✨

Awesome so lovely video

Thank you mate 😊

Absolutely loved this mate. Great content and advice as always 👍🏻

Bit late to the video, but the sentiments you are so relevant in today's world . Thought the painting is very good far better than I could achieve. At first I thought the model was a bit whacky, but then I reflected that its possibly the whackiness that is inherent in the fun of doing something different and getting pleasure from that and not being constrained by what are considered the norms. Have enjoyed watching your videos, would love to see a slower version of your post processing birds, you have much to offer the mystified Photoshop user Many thanks Paul L

👍 for the algorithm...

But birds don't really.... P.... I know lame joke but it's an other P Heard it before, good to know that birds are also animals of habit, often returning to a spot.
