Now that’s a pretty cool bird Gunnar. It definitely has an attitude. I’ve never seen or heard of this bird before. Thanks for showing us. The beak on it looks downright dangerous. It’s a good thing that you were able to prepare for meeting it. Now, another use for your tripod.😎. I very much enjoyed this video.🙂🙂
Terry Roth It is a pretty insane bird indeed. That statue and behaviour seems a bit extraordinary since besides that it’s kinda like a big chicken (and it looks quite normal when the back feathers are laid down and the neck is not standing up). The beak IS dangerous 😅 The males can die from wounds caused by their fighting for the mates (lek). It’s a bit sad that they became ghosts of the forest. I heard about it and saw pictures in my grandparents home in Germany where it became really rare, but I never saw one in person. I’m glad though to tell you that he is not alone, I saw two hens hanging around in the trees. Us finally leaving he might even have a good chance mating since he “fought us off”. It is also great news that a friend has seen them fight there in the eighties, but not ever since because there were no birds anymore to look at. There are now ☺️ My tripod got some scratches, but if it could not stand that one, it would not be the right one for me. As ever, thanks for your comment, good to talk to you, Terry!

What an amazing bird! Sorry for the dramatic music :P I hope you enjoy the video and might consider joining me on Instagram :) instagram.com/gdresleroutdoors/ Thanks for tuning in!

Claire Sophia if you keep calm you can get some great captures, but I don’t think I would be able to get some alone. You really have to stay alert for the moment he starts running again.
I want to get more of that ritual this spring in another forest. It will need some planning and eventually a pop up hide, but if we are lucky it is gonna be even better! Glad you liked it, David :)
I can understand, I did not think that I would meet one this year. Everything was and is moving so fast that I am scared not too get all on camera, but I guess next year would be a bit boring if there was nothing new (but seriously, there is always something new) :P Thank you, let's see what else is there for the next video :D
Tony Morrison he’s not afraid at all! I talked to people living there and walking with their dogs. He frightens the dogs to the bones 😅 in the first second you are actually a bit struck, but you just have to stay in control for the both of you. He once outsmarted us.
Hey Gunnar like your videos,and that u using same gear as me so I can learn stuff from your videos. I also like Norway hopefully one day will be able to come around and explore beautifull nature.
Norway might be beautiful, but the highlands over where you are look really cool for wildlife photography. And as well the coast with otters and pine marten in the forest! I am a bit jealous of that too be honest :D
@@GunnarDresler yeah love highlands specially on winter months 🙂coast yeah its beautiful and all the sea birds like Puffins,Ganets are amazing. I feel same way about Norway,had plans to came work for some time but Scotland came first so end up here 🙂 Scotland got quite bit to offer for photograpers,but not weather lol even though this summer being really good 🙂
I nearly studied in Stockholm, so that could have turned the other way as well. Sometimes it is up to chance, but you can still come to Norway at another time :)
Andrew Julian Photography It seems he stays away from you if you’re more than one most of the time, but sometimes he picks out one victim 😅 thanks Andrew!
I could not imagine back then that it would be so great. If you have not photographed and seen something for month you start to doubt yourself so hard :D There was just no time nor weather, putting in those 2-3 days were just so fun. Cheers :)
Hi Gunnar! First of all thanks for sharing your experiences and congrats for your videos. I'm a Nikon user, with lots of Nikon material, but Canon R6 is really a step ahead in its mirrorless cameras, specially considering the animal eye autofocus. I've just seen that you're using nikon lenses in the R6. What adapter do you use? Does it work ok (autofocus and other stuff)? Thanks again, form Portugal.
Hei Tiago :) This might be a misunderstanding somehow. The reason I am using Nikon lenses is that I use a Nikon Z6 for all my productions. There might be an adapter to use F mount lenses on the Canons out there, but there will not be an opportunity to use any Z lenses on a Canon camera in the future since the Z mount is bigger and the flange distance shorter. On the other hand you can put nearly everything on a Z mount. I know this answer not really your question, but I had the need to say that :D Thanks for the compliment! Cheers G
@@GunnarDresler Hi, thanks this looks like the best solution possible now, but you’ll lose AF and the aperture needs to be changed manually , as the camera looses the capacity to contact with the lens.
Really an excellent video Gunnar. I think you deserve a lot more than 570 subscribers right now. Please upload more content like this using Nikon Z6. Also please let me know what tripod and camera bag you are using. I am a Nikon Z6 user myself.
Thanks for the kind words, Debashish, even though I don't really think that someone/anyone deserves subscribers. You kind of have to earn them :) It is going good if you consider that until 2 month ago I was under 200 (and that until then for a year), so maybe it continues to go up. Still thanks for your words! :) I am using a Sirui tripod and a Lowepro Tactic 450 AW, maybe shoot me a message on Insta if you need more details. I think the Z6 is really great, never had any regrets since I got it. Cheers!
Thanks so much, Gladys! I was really glad to finally get some really cool photos again (it has been some time). And thanks for following on Instagram :)

Terrific birds with lovely photographs. Thank you.
Many thanks 😊
Amazing captured 🤩.. How funny that Angry bird chasing you Haha..The best moments ever..

Great vlog. Amazing pictures and time you had for sure. 👍👏

Beautiful photography!!
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent vlog, that brought back memories of a trip to Finland, when a male chased a group of us out of the forest,, the highlight of the trip!!
They can be quite scary, can they? :D But so impressive! Thank you, David :)
Hello, did make me smile. Keep well, keep safe and be happy.
It is kinda funny but at the same time a bit scary if you know what I mean. I never ever want my dog to meet one of those :D
Awesome Stuff Gunnar:-) and what a bird I’m very envious of your experience. Great video as always:-) keep up the good work mate:-)👍

awesome video as always! so funny seeing him go after you like that haha.

Gunnar Dresler Photography wow! So cool!!! Shows us humans who’s boss haha
Oh yeah, he is da boss :D
Awesome footage, thank you for sharing 😄🙏
Hey Melanie, thanks for your kind words. I keep it up :)
Nice work. 👍👍
Thank you, Göran :) Soon it is time again!
Hey Gunnar like your videos,and that u using same gear as me so I can learn stuff from your videos.
I also like Norway hopefully one day will be able to come around and explore beautifull nature.
Hei :) Quite some gear to get potential out of. Norway is a beauty for sure, I fell in love with it quite early. Where are you from?
@@GunnarDresler Lithuanian,but working in Scotland for moment 🙂

How cool, you captured the dance well and the. It straight up ran up to you 😂

You had great time there it is noticeable on this video.

@@GunnarDresler Thanks for the quick answer. It was a nice one hour dream anyway :)
heia, I just had a look. Is this not the one you are looking for? www.adorama.com/nveosrnik.html
