  • I released this the other day but had to do a re-edit..
    I decided after the stresses of what to buy the missus for Christmas I needed some shutter therapy. I decided to take a visit down to my field hide to see if the Buzzards would show up and also put a feeder out for the small birds. Join me as we have a couple of relaxing hours, get some unexpected visitors and show off a great piece of tech which has a multitude of uses for the outdoor photographer, the Ecoflow River Max Portable Power Station.

      Utilised some ideas and got some good photos, thing is you dont need travel far, my best photos literally just a few feet in from a forestry england car park, just used a few tree stumps as feed tables, planted a branch for birds to land on nearby, but one tip for you suet balls …. try squashing them into the bark of trees, nuthatches and GS Woodpeckers love them, and red squirrels. Though got one daft woman shout at me as her dogs might be allergic to sunflower hearts and suet. Ooh even got a cuckoo, not feeding just being nosy
