Urban Wildlife Photography In A City Park

- Long time no speak dear people!
I haven't uploaded in a while because I was going through quite a bit life change. I have moved from the small seaside town of Bognor Regis to the city of Bristol! I have moved for a new job and hopefully better oportunities for wildlife photography and making videos for you all.
Speaking of which, this is the first from my new location. I want to bringing you at least one video a month from now on but hopefully two. Though obviously this is very often dependant on the wildlife playing ball. This is my fourth attempt at making a video here so I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Please let me know what you think and ask as many questions as you would like in the comments below.
Thanks for sharing this video. In India the winter season is in full motion. In my locality where I live the minimum temperature is between 8 to 9 degree in winter. My passion is birding & bird photography.In winter season several migratory bird spices like Northern Pintail, Ruddy Shelduck, Northern Shoveler, Common teal, Ferruginous duck, Gargani, Common Shelduck, Red-creasted Poachard , Tufted duck ,Blue Throat, Siberian Rubythroat , Taiga Flycatcher and many more visit in our locality. Seeing your dedication and love for photographing birds gives me a immense pleasure because we are birds in same feather. Hats off to you.
Glad to hear you are making the most of your seasonal bird activity! Glad you are enjoying the videos! I will try not to dissapoint in future ones :)
Krásne spracované video. Pekné fotografie...👍👍👍
Thank you :D
Excellent video and content. Lovely images and video shot of the birds behaviour, thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one.
Thank you thank you for a little happiness tonight.
Stunning.
Cheers Patrick!
Great!!!!! So great!!!!
Thank you Decad! Glad you think so!
Back at it! Yes Matt!
Yes Roxy!!! Plan to binge watch yours this evening :D
Great video and photographs! I feel lucky to find your channel! So much fun to watch
Oh thats very nice of you to say! Thank you! I will try not to disappoint with the next one :D
flipping fantastic dedication
Cheers Showshine! All worth it for the shot :)
Good commitment to the shots Matt.....and well worth it too!
Hi Phil! Thank you, much appreciated, cheers for watching :)
Great video. Love the combo of video + stills. Thank you. (music was great too!)
Amazing! Great video and pictures!
Thank you so much Titaostein, glad you enjoyed it :)
Excellent video with lots of respect towards nature and wildlife. Like your style of making videos, you got my subscribe for sure :)
Thank you Shovel! Glad that came across! And thank you so much for that last comment and subscription, it's really apreciated :)
Glad to see your videos again Matt. I do 95% of my nature photography around the small Goffs park pond in Crawley and tend to stand in one spot for hours and let things unfold in front of me. As I study their behaviour it makes my photography that much easier although you can never go out and predict what will turn up. That's why nature photography is never boring.
Your videos are always true to life and you show that the photographs take time and a lot of effort to produce the results you are looking for. The dipper was brilliant and his body ended up a lot drier than yours!
Looking forward to the next instalments next year. Thank you. Happy New Year Matt.
Thank you Frank! Yeah i completely agree with the sit and wait technique. It almost always results in better photos for me anyway! And yes, i plan to keep the videos as real as possible, thats the beauty of you tube. No big corporate roadblocks hiding the reality.
Thank you for stopping by, the next is 19/01/2019 :) And happy new year to you too
Hello Matt, stumbled on your channel and i absolutely love your videos. I have since watched so many of them . Looking forward to new content.
Hi Bigwillz! Ahhh thats wicked to hear! Glad you are enjoying them, they are changing all the time so hope not to disapoint in future videos!
@@MattGouldphotography I'm sure they will be just fine.
I was lucky enough to watch them on the River Usk in Wales & totally agree, they are marvellous little birds. I found at times I wasn’t even taking photos, I got a different kind of enjoyment out of just watching them. Great video, fantastic shots, well done I know exactly how you felt at the end.
Chuffed you got to see some as well, they are such charasmatic birds! Thank you for your lovely comment!
Very nice, fortune favors the prepared.
Hahahah or the down right single minded :D. Thanks for the comment David! :)
Great video !
Hi Matt, an absolutely gorgeous vid! A stunning experience and the White Throated Dipper is so lovely. Totally devoted to photography you got in December into water and soaked wet .... 😳! Very impressing. Beautiful photos. This encourages me to have a closer look in the parks around me ... 😉
Thank you Andrea, glad you liked it! Ha, you really don't feel it... that is until the walk back to the car :D. I am so chuffed to hear you will look at your parks a bit closer now! That is my aim with the video. To make people look again at their local wildlife :)
Great video! So wonderful to see a true wildlife photographer who waits for the wildlife to come to him. Thank you for setting a terrific example. If the wildlife changes its behaviour due to your presence, you're too close. So happy to have found you. New subscriber from Canada :)
Thats it! If the wildlife reacts to you then you are too close or you have not hidden yourself well enough. Which admittedly can sometimes be a case of learning from your mistakes when it comes to hiding and waiting. But as long as you are not chasing it i think you can go home happy even if you have no photographs for that day. Thank you for watching and i am glad to hear you agree.
I like you nice upbeat personality and style. Good job.
Thank you Janet! Thats really nice of you to say! :)
Really good content mate! Great to see you again. And you got some awesome footage and pictures of many great species. Really loved the behavior shoots of the dipper. Cool to see how it flips the stones. And also the low angle that I love myself :) Great job!
Glad you like it mate, you seem to be thriving yourself!!! Your channel is taking off, congratulations btw :D. Thanks for the complement!
Hi sir
Yeah, that stone flipping was amazing!
I took a photo of a Dipper myself last week, the second sighting in my 70 years.i can't get down like you did as I would never get up again. I liked the perspective you get from being at the level of the subject and with the flexible all angle viewing screen I can get similar angles. Thanks for a great video.
Brilliant to hear you saw another recently Timothy! Sorry to hear you arent able to get down low any more, but for me, althoough i love the photography, it's still all about the sighting and its lovely to hear the excitement doesnt wear off. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching :)
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Madden Julien Instablaster =)
@Sergio Jacoby i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Sergio Jacoby it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Amazing pal. Incredible photos
Cheers Will, much appreciated!
Amazing! What a great video!
Thank you Michael! :)
Hi, great to see you back Matt ! ..with such a SUPER Video too! Love it ....looking forward to many more now you've settled into your new home.
Alright Barbs!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! I will try not to dissapoint with my next few then :D
Amazing video, Thank!
Thank you :)
Good to see you back, missed your enthusiasm for wildlife!
Awww thank you First Last! Really nice of you too say that! Glad to be back ! Hopeuflly i will produce at lease one a month!
Good to see you are still "clicking away" even when wet. Hope all is going well with the city stuff on your next upload .
Good day you two!!!!
Ofcourse, I don't plan to stop either :D. Lots more videos on the way!!!!
Hope all is well with you and the family, lovely to hear from you :)
It’s great, I like it.
Cheers Andy, glad to hear it!
Very enjoyable
Glad to hear it Mike! :)
Great footage and stills.
Cheers Keith, glad you think so!
Amazing video Man ;) love the dipper photos congrats! Can't wait for Another vid from You- one of the best channels on YT
Thank you Grzegorz! I currently have serval in the making but in need of another days filming and the wildlife to play ball :D.
I agree
Also you will be on my favorite list to watch now
Very much appreciated :)
Nice work! Getting down low certainly makes wildlife less nervous and avoiding eye contact helps too.
Thank you Jan, and yeah i really think it does! All the little things add up ! But as long as the wildlife is relaxed i am happy :)
Amazing video, i wish you a lot of great moments to capture and share with all people who loves nature.Cheers, Ady !
Awww thank you Ady! Thats the plan, I have lots more videos on the way :)
wow thats so cool!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video Matt. I recently found you and am now a regular follower. Seen dippers lots of times, but never turning stones, brilliant. Also good to see somebody else who gets wet and mucky for their pics!
Hi Deborah! Welcome aboard! You are lucky to have had lots of experinces with them, they are awesome little birds. I am sure i won't be able to resist the pull of them in the winter, especially if it snows! :D.
Fantastic video your enthusiasm really shows through. The dipper is also on my hit list but still waiting. You might want to have a word with Trond Westby and find out where he gets his clothing as I think it maybe more suited to the task than your jeans :-). Keep the great videos coming.
Ahhh good to hear Kevin, it's a bucket list shot well worth pursuing i have to say! And yeah i am usually quite on it with clothing but i wasnt expecting to see dippers that day :D. Me and Trond have chatted, may even collab if he is ever in the UK. He is a wiked photographer.
Great video and fotos 👍
Glad you think so Per, thanks for the comment!
Nice video, tons of credit for going all in to get the images and video of the dipper.
Thank you Edgar! I was super chuffed i have to say :D
Excellent images and footage Matt. City wildlife is most certainly underrated.
Thanks Robert! I completely agree!
Loving your videos, just subscribed and looking forward to following your journey!
Fantastic images Matt! Love your perseverance and it certainly paid off! One of your best videos yet! Well done!
I dont think i would ever get a photo if i didnt persevere. I certainly would never get enough to make a video :D. Thanks for the complement :)
Ace video, very engaging and informative, love the shots.. Can't wait for the one.
Nice of you to say so Burston! Thank you! I will try not to disapoint!
Dude im so stoked to see a new video😍 good to see that you fixed your pc haha. I started my weekly upload, Wildlife Photography channel a month ago and I’m growing slowly. It’s so much fun to see other wildlife photography channels thrive like you😱 congrats and merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you Adventureresting ! Yes a very nice bulgarian man fixed it :D, and invited me to Bulgaria to make a video as well :D. So good to hear there are more and more channels starting! Thank you for your comment, and a merry christmas to you as well!
Great video, and much fun seeing your enthusiasm in wildlife situations. The dipper is the national bird of Norway, so its a familiar bird for me, and very cool that you got so close to it!
Thank you Magnus, that really means a lot! And that's definitely a cool national bird, i imagine snow shots of them would look stunning!
Fantastic images of the dipper. I admire your commitment to getting the shot, not sure I would lie on the side of a city park river bank. Well done keep the videos coming.
Glad you liked the photos Rob! And yes, it takes a certain kind of mad to do that :D
That "city park" is a lot larger and wilder than any I've seen. Congrats!
One of the most useful video for me
Aw well thats lovely to hear :). Thank you for your comment!
Awesome ... so beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice video i enjoyed really thanks
Hi Mobi, really chuffed you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by :)
Awesome content and very engaging, I'm also visiting more and more city parks to see what they have to offer and not dissapointed.Keep it going.
Thank you Athar! Yes, city parks can hold so much!
Thanks for the kind words :)
Mate, I was not expecting to really enjoy this video. I mean bird photography in a local park ? I absolutely loved it, fantastic and just amazing the lengths you went, to get the shot. Incredible!! Thumbs up and subscribed. Well done.
Oh wow, your reaction is exactly what i was hopping for Rice Crash! Thank you for your comment! Yeah local stuff doesn't have to mean boring :D. I hope you enjoy the future videos :)
Well impressed with the low level video - and the Dipper too!
Thank you Paul! Really nice of you to say! Worth getting blooming cold for :D
@@MattGouldphotography just watched it again, the opening shot with the grey wag is perfect 👍
What wonderful work! Just came across your channel for the first time, I'll be back!
Cheers Mike, glad you like it! I look forward to hearing from you again! :)
I really like the video, your work with the animals is really fine. Congrats. Hope to see more stuff.
Cheers Gonzalo! Really apprecaite it :)
Very nice vid, Matt! I also saw and photographed my very first dipper a few weeks back; such a great little bird.
Thank you Steve!
Glad to hear you got your first dipper shot! I hope you didnt have to get as cold and wet! :D
Thank you for watching!
Welcome back Matt, we've missed you! Some fabulous shoots/footage. Hope you are settling into your new environment well n the job keeps you busy. Looking forward to all you share with us. Wishing you a very merry Christmas from the pierce's😁
Thank you Debbie! Glad you enjoyed the video! I very much am, and yes i am very busy! Thank you and same to you of course!
Wow, what a great video, lots of great tips as well as amazing footage. Love your enthusiasm too 😊 👍
Thank you ! Glad you think so,and i am chuffed that came across!
Pretty cool Matt! Not at all like our dippers over here in Western Canada. Like the coloring on yours. Ours are similar in their behavior but are grey all over. A very common bird in British Columbia rivers. But then we get excited when we see a Mandarin Duck. Go figure?
Congratulations on finding a Dipper to watch and photograph! They are just the most interesting and adorable birds! I'm going to subscribe and look for more of your work!
Thank you, a little bit of luck never hurt anyone :D.
They really are incredible little birds. Thank you for the sub and I hope the other videos don't disapoint. I have lots more on the way :D.
Great vlog! That is one strong little bird, it flipped that stone like nothing! Nice video footage, I love those slow-motion shots.
I know right! So strong! Such a cracking little animal. Thank you for your kind words as well :)
Awesome content Matt! The video was beautifully shot and your shots are amazing. Keep up the great work, Love to see more content from you!
Thank you Marc, thats a big compliment! I will of course be producing more, with the aim of one a month to keep the standard high whilst working :). Thanks again for your comment!
Beautiful photographs!
Great video ,i enjoyed watching it. I like the way you got low in the perspective to get the interesting birds eye view of the birds. Well done.
Thank you Armando! Getting low is really what i find to be the easiest way to give a photo impact for sure :). And thank you!
Awsome video 👍
Thank you Henrik!
Good to see you back Matt,Enjoyed the video. I moved from Torquay in Devon to Perth Australia 8 years ago, don't miss your weather, although was 106 degrees here yesterday.
I mostly specialize in birds and wildlife and really love it. A couple of days ago I photographed 2 birds for the first time. A red tail black cockatoo and the Rainbow bee eater.
It's amazing when you go out and see something you weren't expecting. Keep the videos coming.
Glad to be back Mark :). Wow, quite a move! I know what the wildlife can be like in Australia, you are very lucky! And yeah its brillant to see a first, not to mention photograph it! Well done! And thank you for your comment :)
Excellent footage, Matt. Great shots of the wagtail. Love your channel. Cheers
Thank you LA! Cheers for watching, glad to have you onboard :)
It sounds weird being excited to move into a city because of the wildlife haha
Definitely some great shots. The patience pays off
Cheers Andy, glad you think so! Yes, patience is always key !
Thumbs up 💕💕💕💕
From the queen herself!!!! Thank you! :D
really amazing job. Loved it!!
Cheers Rahul!
Absolutely loving viewing for a Sunday evening! From one UK resident to another, it was endearing seeing your genuine pleasure in taking photographs and your passion for wildlife. It reflects in your work, and your video was a pleasure to watch because of this. Onwards and upwards!
Cheers Mike! Glad you enjoyed it! And i do absaloutely love British wildlife! It's brilliant! I do understand why people often overlook it though given what we are shown on our tv screens with incredible shows like Planet Earth. But i'm glad you share the love of our local treasures!
Great video Matt, it helped having the shallow stream as they so often spend time underwater in deeper rivers and are so much harder to follow. Watching the stone turning was interesting.
Cheers David, oh yeah i completely get how lucky i was! But as always with wildlife, some you win, some you loose! And cheers, glad you enjoyed that bit. I wasn't sure wether to put that in or not because its a bit out of focus.
I like how you leave the camera rolling so we can see the subject too. I did not catch the name of the bird. But i did not think that it could move a big rock like that. Good Job!
Cheers Wendy, yeah i plan to give either nice footage or photos of the subject in each of my videos. Sometimes i get lucky and its both :D. It was a Dipper by the way, a endlessly surprising bird.
I really enjoyed going along with you one this outing. I appreciate how respectful you are of the wildlife!
Awww thank you G.T.K.N i am glad that comes across, i feel its so often a line that photographers cross so i want to prove it can be done without disturbing the wildlife.
Yes, I've definitely seen other photographers cross that line and it always makes me nuts. It disturbs the wildlife and gives the rest of us photographers a bad name. So thank you for showing that you can get great shots while still being careful.
Sorry, I just bumped my iPad & my reply was sent. I was saying our oldest National Park was replete with bird life. So where I live, Como, in the Sutherland Shire, birds of all sizes are part of everyday scene. I witnessed a smart kookaburra fly to were a group of us were sitting & skilfully picked a piece of ham out of a sandwich in someone’s hand. Lyrebirds are common in the Park. Anyway, I enjoyed your videos & admired your patience & perseverance. I’m looking forward to more of your videos.
Hi Robert! Yeah I was lucky enough to visit Aus a year or two ago. It's incredible the amount of birdlife you have there and how comfortable it seems to be with humans. I was doing a bit of a road trip at the time but would love to go back and really spend some time in places like the blue mountains and absorb the wildlife. I did manage to tick off the lyrebirds (both species) whilst i was there though ;). Thanks for watching !
The last part is amazing!!!! I absolutely love it. Well Done, Matt!
btw, where is this park in bristol? I would like to visit someday cuz I'm in Bath now
awesome video
Thank you Mixup :)
Nice stuff. Hello from Russia!
Thank you !!! Hello back at you from England :D
Fantastic video mate
Thank you, Kalibr, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow shots mate , good on you for getting down and dirty/ well wet ! Gre
Thanks Royce! I like to think it was worth it :D.
Love the video and especially the Dipper shots. Keep them coming.
Thank you John! I will endeavor to do so! :)
I really enjoyed that.I had no idea they tipped over the stones in search of food.
Glad to hear it John! Yeah, they have some even more interesting behaviour in faster rivers as well. Well worth putting on your list to see I would say!
Awesome video with a great message that you can find interesting shots and animals in your local area if you take time and care and be respectful and mindful of the creatures around us every day. Great work.
Respect the wildlife and give it the space it needs and you will be rewarded with much more intimate photos in my experience. Glad to hear you agree Graham.
Thank you for watching !
young man you are so inspirational in what you do..AMAZING VIDEO..well done..
Ahhh thank you! Thats really nice of you to say!!! I will try not to disapoint in the next one :)
Some great shots and footage of the dipper! Beautiful birds to watch.
Thank you Russell, glad you think so, really it's the dipper making the magic happen if we are honest :D.
excellent video matt, funny enough I also saw my first dipper (A brown dipper in Japan) last week! The one that I saw was in bad light and too far away but it is still super amazing to see them feeding in the river!
Thank you Anson! Such charasmatic birds, glad you got to see one as well!
Wow, I’ve never seen on of those before even on the telly. Fantastic, well done you. Enjoyed that. Thanks
Good day!
Thank you for the comment. It's great to hear you have made a new discovery. Thats the great thing about wildlife in my opinion, you are always finding and learning about something new. Hopefully you get to see one yourself now you can keep an eye out for them.
Thank you for watching :)
This video randomly came up in my feed. So glad it did. I like your dedication to get that shot even if it meant getting down and dirty in that water..hahaha..new subscriber and fan!
Ha, glad you found it to be a nice bit of random :D. Yeah, gotta get that shot! :D Glad to have you on board! :) Thanks for the comment!
Great photos/videos.
Thank you Steve!
Bloody awesome vlog buddy! Liking the long lens 😍 I’m off to pick up a 600mm f4 mk2 up tomorrow 😳
Amazing video Matt. What commitment :-) absolutely stunning images and some great advice on how to approach wildlife. Thank you !
Cheers Mark! Commitment, maddness, all the same really :D. Glad to you enjoyed it!
great shots '')
Cheers Paul!!!! Glad you like them :)
nice you are back, looking forward to see your next video
Cheers Stephan, will try not to disapoint!
Great video. I did a similar video only mine was in Lumphini Park in the middle of Bangkok. It so amazing for wildlife there surprisingly, I was chuffed with what I found. Your channel is great.
Thank you Mikey! Really appreciate it! And yeah, wildlife is full of surpises and always in places you least expect ! Thank you so much for the comment and compliment :)
I've come to this one a bit late, but glad I did! terrific video and pictures, especially the grey wagtail and dipper, two of my favourite birds, thanks Matt.
Better late than never ey Tom! :D Glad you enjoyed it :)
Fantastic, well done, great video.
Thank you A1 glad you liked it !
Great video,I often visit my local city parks and get some great wildlife shots. You are very lucky to be able to get down to eye level of the subject,but at 75 getting down is fine my problems start when I try to get back up.
Glad you find the time to get down to your park and enjoy the wildlife! As for the youth side of things, i am making sure to make full use of it whilst i have it :D. Thank you for your comment!
Great video and photos! I’m going to go out and explore some of my local city parks now. Got yourself a new subscriber, as well. Thanks for the inspiration and information.
Ahhhhh the dream goal of the video! Do it! Go find something amazing that nobody knew was there and take pictures that spark the memory!!!!!! Cheers for the comment!
