      Estuve a punto de caer en la trampa de un fraude en una respuesta en tus comentarios, se me hizo muy extraño que había ganado una Sony A7 R IV si tu video era sobre el viaje que hiciste con Nikon...jajajajajjajaja. Por ese detalle me di cuenta que era fraude y ya bloquee a esa persona.

    Thank You Morten, so nice to have you back. I live in northern New England US, and am a retired dairy farmer doing what I have had a passion for since a youth, wildlife photography. Thank you for all the training you have shared over the years and I can relate to your passion. The first barn swallows I have seen were this week. We have lots of tree swallows around the farm they use a lot of the bluebird boxes that I put up. It is so busy now on the farm with a big garden being planted now!

I struggle to get out with my camera these days, so it's nice to be able to kick back in my own office and watch wildlife almost as if I'm there. A couple of times already, I've felt the need to reach for my camera when something shows up in the video, before I realise I'm still at home watching a screen!

    Thanks,Morten. I so enjoy your videos. I have been doing wildlife photography, as a hobby, mostly birds, for 2 and a half years now, and I am loving it. This afternoon, I was happy to work with a local gallery which has given me some space to show some of my photos. This is my first time with dedicated gallery space. What a thrill to set up the photos this afternoon, and then come home to get more inspiration from your video. It is spring time here in Maine, and I revel in all the birds returning, the wildflowers and newly leafed out trees, … each day brings new things to see, appreciate, and photograph. Thanks for sharing your love of nature and great photos and videos with everyone.
