How to Plan for the Perfect Wildlife Photo!
Вставка

- When you want to take your wildlife photography to the next level you soon find that a hit and hope approach very rarely works. Sue there are occasions when you are just in the right place at the right time but this is rare. Usually the perfect image is proceeded by hours of preperation work to ensure you give yourself the best chance of grabbing that shot.
In this video I am again up in Aberdeenshire for a short four day visit and instead of employing a lets just head out and see what happens I chose to scout out a location for a later visit. Strangely I don't get what I expected but potentially the chance of something much better.

Wow, a Pine Martin! What a find!!! Great work. I bet you can't wait to get back there!
Nice one Scott. It’s great when your knowledge and skills pay off. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks. I'm heading back up there next week for hopefully more pine martin action👍👍
Good work Scott, great sense of achievement when you get out there and find your own subjects. Good luck for later forays!!👍🏼👌
Thanks Simon, I wasn't due to go back up there until June but I'm already planning an April trip😂 Just hoping it's more accomodating than the buzzards!😉👍
I love these types of videos from you, because you give so much information and tips for wildlife, it's fantastic!!
Glad you enjoy it Shannon, I always try to make them useful as well as entertaining (sometime both!😂) Thanks for watching👍
Excellent video, thanks Scott. A journey of anticipation. I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it David, only the beginning of this journey! I'm hoping to get back up there in April to see if I can get more footage and images👍
Brilliant video Scott, what a lovely area to check out 😎 was awesome seeing the Pine Martin footage. Stunning creatures Mate,
Nice images too Mate 📸👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it Lee. It was a fantastic surprise and I'm eager to get back up there to move forward with the project. A trip in April on the cards!😂👍
Exciting stuff, Scott. You did well to capture the Pine Martin in the wild. Look forward to what else you find. Cheers Keith
Cheers Keith, I'm back up there at the beginning of April for a week...I just couldn't resist! All the best mate👍
One useful tip I've learnt regarding feathers at a kill Scott is taking a closer look at the base of the larger feathers to see if there is any sign of a vertical split in the shafts - if so usually a kill by a bird of prey if it has a ragged chewed end a mammal is more likely to have been the culprit. Enjoyed the video. 👍
A super tip Glenn, I'm hopefully getting back up there in April and will check this out. I will be reading up on pine martins in the meantime!!👍
Top work on this video Scott. Really useful info mate. I’m always trying to get the perfect photo (never happens for me 😂). Cheers mate and have a great week 👍🙏
Thanks Adrian, doesn't happen for me either! Not sure we are ever satisfied. I'm so desperate to get back up there I'm trying to rangle another cheeky trip in April😂 Jam sandwiches on standby!! Cheers mate ahve a good week👍
Awesome stuff Scott 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Cheers Tom, a fantastic surprise, I'm already looking to get back up there in April!!👍
Very nice Scott
Many thanks David. I'm back up there at the beginning of April for a week as I seem to have been bitten by the Pine Martin bug!!😂👍
Good work Scott hope all the efforts come off. Pine Martin a great start keep it up mate 👍
Cheers Mark, I'm already planning a trip back up in April😂 Can't wait to the summer. Hopefully if I can worrk out its patterns I might be able to get to a point where daylight shots are possible when the days are at there longest.👍
Nice video Scott you can learn a lot from the trail camera I've had one for a few years
Thanks! Yes a really useful tool, hopefully I can get some more video and stills images in the future. That's the plan anyway!!👍
Very nice Video. The predator should be the goshawk, as the eagle owl does not occur there. The male goshawk plucks the prey directly on site and flies with it to the nest to hand it over to the female. That is why no carcasses are found.
Hi, thanks for watching and for the information. I was guessing at Goshawk as I couldn't think of anything else that is in the area and would take down birds as large as a male pheasant. I'm up there for a week in August again so will be keeping my eyes peeled!!👍
