Bird of Prey in Woodland Hide || BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY, NIKON Z8

It´s been a while since I had the hide up and running and with the beautiful winter weather we have been having earlier this year I decided to finally get out there and try to photograph some birds of prey.
It truely felt good to be out photographing and recording videos again, the past year has been quite hectic but now we are looking forward to spring with alot of beautiful scenary and birds to photograph!
Disclaimer, I feed birds of prey during winter when the weather allows for it, meaning when it´s cold and hard to find food elswhere, the meat I put out is either roadkill or meat from wild game (moose/deer/wild boar) and does not contain lead.
Hope you enjoy the video, if you did please feel free to

Wow amazing shots
Pure inspiration
I would like to build a hide like this ✌🏻great work

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so much! Very simple hide to make over here I would believe it would cost less than 100 euros if you can find used roofing 😊🙏

[@ulflundh_birdsandnature]

Hi Andy. Wonderful VLOG and great footage of the birds of prey. Well done. Greets Stefan

[@AndyGustavsson]

Hey Stefan! Thank you so kindly, means alot! 😊😊🙏

[@user-lg9zh5ov2e]

Yes finally the whispering Andy is back 😂! What an awesome video my friend! I love the images in the snow setting and what a lucky that the red kite paid a visit as well. Also great footage of the fighting buzzards. It's always exciting being in a hide as you never know what to expect. Greetings, Gladys PM , I don't know why my own name is not appearing as the sender 😡!

[@AndyGustavsson]

haha thank you so much Gladys, it´s a thrill waiting for birds to show up escpecially when you hear the wing beat but can´t see a single bird haha! 😅😀🙏

[@trevorridgers2923]

Congratulations on a great video. I really like the drone shots for adding that extra dimension. Super images especially the action shots. I didn't realize you are now shooting with the Z8👌

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so much Trevor, glad you liked it! Been shooting with it since september 😅🙏

[@sbrenden]

Thanks for sharing some magic from the hide. Awesome footage! Well done, Andy 👌

[@173jaSon371]

Yeah magically baiting a raptor. Research baiting for yourself and you'll understand why what this guy does is harmful to wildlife

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so much! not often we get snow so just had to get out! 🙏

[@GeoffCooper]

Fantastic Andy! I love the image with the rough-legged buzzard in the snow!

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you Geoff! Missed it from all the morphed buzzards so came as a surprise!

[@patriziabertorello2722]

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so very much, truely appreciate it! 😃🙏

[@Luontokuvaaja.Kalle.Larsson]

Nice to see you out in the field again. You were able to spend incredibly wonderful moments in hiding. Is the hide yours?

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so much Kalle! 😊🙏
No it’s not but I’m very lucky to be allowed to use it whenever I want to as long as I help to keep it maintained and bring out food.

[@Luontokuvaaja.Kalle.Larsson]

@@AndyGustavsson sounds good.

[@kevins8575]

Great video, Andy. Today was 28°C here in the tropics, so it was especially nice to see real winter.

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you Kevin! That’s warm! 🥵 I was also pleased to experience real winter for as long as it lasted, 7c now, rain and heavy flooding everywhere combined with hard wind 😅😅 this is the winter I’m used to here in southern sweden

[@Zycienadkanalemobry]

[@trondwestby5264]

Very nice, and good crafted video. You should make more ;) And congrats on the Z8.

[@AndyGustavsson]

Thank you so much Trond! Don’t know how you manage to upload each week, can’t find time or subjects to photograph 😅😅

[@CNylundPhotography]

Snyggt filmat Andy 👌
Är de ditt eget gömsle?

[@AndyGustavsson]

tack så mycket Conny! 🙏😃 nej men jag har fri tillgång till det när jag vill, då han som äger det knappt använder de längre. Så jag får asa dit mitt eget kött så använder det bara när jag lyckas få tag på de då jag inte jagar själv. En dag kanske jag bygger ett eget!
