Photographing Roe Deer Part 1 & Failing to Find Owls | Nikon Z7 & 500mm f/5.6E PF VR

- I went out looking for short-eared owls in a new wetland location - I failed to see any, but it turned out to be a fantastic roe deer habitat 🦌

I went to a local wetland and nature reserve to look for short eared owls since they'd been seen in that location in previous years. It's not far from where I live and I'd known about for some years, but still somehow I'd not managed to get out to it until now. While there were no owls to be seen (and I've not seen any records for that location this year), I quickly discovered that it was a location with a large population of roe deer, and I had some really nice encounters with some of them.
Once again, apologies that it's been so long since the last upload. I have a few more vlogs recorded but editing time is still very scarce so I won't make any promises about when the next one will be! Anyway, when it comes, the next video will be from my second visit to the same location...

Nice to see you back and not lost any of your enthusiasm. Looking forward to part 2. Stay safe out there.
Thanks very much Phil
Great to see you out again Geoff. What a great consolation prize to get the Deer footage. I would have been happy with that. Cheers Keith
Thanks Keith - yeah, seeing the deer was a great bonus and it was brilliant to be out there :)
So glad to see you out again!
Thanks very much - it was great to get out
Hi Geoff, thank you for this nice video 👍
Good to see you back Geoff, good vlog look forward to the follow up 👍
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi Geoff, it's good to see you out there again! I've enjoyed the video and the images of the deer are gorgeous! See you soon again hopefully! Greetings from Amsterdam.
Thanks very much Gladys - glad you enjoyed it :)
Good to see that your back keep it up😃👍
Great to see you out and about again Geoff just not long got the same bag mainly to carry the 500mmf4 in, nice shots of the deer. 📸👍
Thanks Andy. The bag is really useful for just being able to bung everything in and not think too much about it!
Brilliant video yet again
great to see a video again mate keep them coming
Thanks Alan
Great vlog Geoff 👍🏻
Good to see you back and a nice video
Thanks Dean
Good to see you out and about again Geoff. How often has this happened to me, the wildlife you unintentionally find can be just as exciting as that which you don’t. All the more reason to go back!
Thanks Steve - yeah, the unexpected so often turns out to be the highlight of a trip!
Good to see you back Geoff! Roe deer are such beautiful animals...
Thanks Jeroen - they really are lovely :)
Glad to see you back Geoff!
Looks like a superb area to set up a hide and just chill out for a night and see what shows up!
Just love the roedeer, one of my favorite to photograph, cheers!
Thanks Andy - when I went back I just used a ghille blanket and went before the sun was up. Glad you liked the images - I know you've had some amazing roe deer encounters and got some great images of them :)
Nice vlog, great to see you back.
Hi Geoff, lovely stuff, it's nice to see another video from you!
Thanks - sorry they’re so infrequent at the moment
Brilliant chanel Geoff, I really enjoy watchimg your videos, I am going to go to Argaty red kite but this time for the red squirrels, I've not been to Argaty for years but definitely going soon, just waiting for my 500mm f5.6 pf
Thanks Walid, glad you're enjoying the channel :) For the squirrel hide at Argaty you might find 500mm to be a bit too long as the feeders etc are quite close. I found that 400mm was right on the edge for everything except the jumps, and even there 300mm would have been better... For the squirrels running around the feeders, the 70-200 (sometimes with a 1.4x TC) was pretty good.
@@GeoffCooper ok, I might find it difficult because I started getting rid of my f mount lenses but opted for 500 pf instead of Z 400 f5.6, will see how it goes. I literally sold everything. Have you been to trishnesh islands? My favourite place for puffins
@@nikonid80 Ah well, I'm sure you'll get something with whatever you have! I've literally just made the opposite decision to switch fully to Z and use the 400mm f/4.5 VR S - there'll be a video about it soon... That means I am selling both my 500mm PF and 400mm f/2.8G VR!
The SEO eludes me too after all these year's, I'll keep trying though. Your right it's so good to be back out and about into the wilds and nature again. I've worked all the way through the pandemic and managed a few trips out but not into the wilds which I prefer. Still, I haven't manged to ditch my car again so that's a plus. I took jnr out today to photograph red kites, I struggled to get decent flight shots with the Z7 but its still new to me, need more practice. You did well to get the roe deer, hopefully you will see the SEO mate.
Thanks Jon :) Yeah, I've not seen a SEO for years now and back then all I got was a couple of very distant flight shots... I'm sure one day I'll see one close up! The Z7 takes practice for flight shots, and I'm still not convinced it's as accurate as the D500 for that, but you'll get used to it and the advantages it brings are really worth it.
new sub here. well done brother.
Thanks - welcome to the channel :)
Excellent adventure. Looks like a great location. beautiful images. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thanks very much, and likewise, I’ve been enjoying your videos too :)
bonjour
les belles biches, toujours sympa de les admirer
merci pour ce partage, bienvenue sur ma chaine nature
amicalement Françoise ( France)
Very nice video Geoff. We don’t have roe deers up in Northern Norway where I live, but a bit further South. Thanks for sharing this video. I watched several of your videos and they are very nice to watch. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Northern Norway 😀
Thanks Alfred, glad you enjoyed them and greetings from Scotland :)
Always something that saves the day. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Knut.
Thanks very much Knut, I have been a few more times since and it is a really good place for wildlife :)
How did I miss this episode 😳
Well you have to be flexible in wildlife photography great video 👍😍
Indeed - expect the unexpected and go with what nature gives you!
Always a privilege to see you upload Geoff.
Thanks Joe
A very clear delivered there Geoff like the stills the way you place the subject in it's habitat ( feel when a shot is over cropped it looses it's sense of place.) Roe are definitely my favorite u.k. deer. Look forward to more vlogs. 👍
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed the images :)
Very nice Geoff,good to see a new vid from you,looks like a great place,early morning should be good now you know the area,look forward to your next trip.
Thanks Rob, it’s a great location and it seems daft that I’d not got out there sooner! The next video will be out eventually but I can already confirm that it was very nice being there in the early morning and there were plenty of deer :)
Hi Geoff great to see you back doing vlogs great photos of the roe deer, looks a fantastic location looking forward to seeing your next video thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Martyn, glad you enjoyed it :)
Missed your videos, glad your back 😀
Thanks - sorry I can’t make as many of them at the moment!
