      It's amazing how one day it's quiet then the next it's mammals, birds and raptors rish! Just goes to show spending time on your local patch it well worth it. We all strive to head all over the place but secretly the local spots have a wealth of wildlife.
      Yeah, a bit strange on the heating issue, maybe the easycover used to protect my camera body, still waiting to hear from Canon Canada on that one.
      My pleasure as always my friend, thanks for stopping by again. Rich 😀

    I hope you get to see and hear a Pileated Woodpecker! They are loud, huge but very skiddish. I had to be perfectly still to get pictures, if they see you move a muscle, they fly off. Maybe you'll get to experience the Cat Bird- sounds a bit like a baby cry...if you put seed in your hand and hold your out from your body, they might land on finger. Very sweet birds!

    • @RichardBirchett
      @RichardBirchett  4 місяці тому

      I do get to see them, heard they are massive in size! I bet they are quite noisy drilling away on a tree? Not heard a catbird yet but I’ll keep my ears and eyes open for them when they arrive. Thanks for the tips, R👍

    Love it! Love your work! Those relaxing cinematic stretches are beautiful! That's my non religious Sunday church for the day ha!
    Interesting that you'd have overheating issues when pushing high frame rates because that's a super pro level camera! I know nothing about how to use the whole video side of my Sony a7r5. I haven't even flicked over into that mode yet out of fear😂
    Maybe when you move to Ottawa, I could just watch you one day and learn through osmosis, ha
    You're a few weeks ahead of me with spring here near Ottawa. It's floating right around +6c, but our chipmunks are still hibernating for now
    I'll jump over to Twitter and retweet your vid if you've shared it there

      Yeah it's not a great thing to keep happening on my R3, I'm speaking with Canon Canada today to discuss why this is happening, could be the easycover as pointed out to me by a fellow youtuber!
      Give the video mode a go, good camera for video I've heard. Lol, no probs it would be good to meet up if you are around when we move. Much appreciated for the retweet thats very kind of you. Spring is on it's way soon. Cheers Rich 👍

    @simonbriggs8053 4 місяці тому +1

    Hi Richard. Great video as always. Loved that last bit of bonus footage of the merlin. It looked amazing to watch. Does your camera system have pre-capture in video mode. I had a camcorder when conducting surveillance in the UK that when pressing the record button on observing any movement it would also record 2-4 seconds prior to me pressing the record button. This was way back in the mid 2000's. I'm really surprised for us wildlife photographers they haven't had this in most camera systems. I'll be visiting The Photography show in Birmingham in a couple of weeks with a list of must haves. Again fab video.

    • @RichardBirchett
      @RichardBirchett  4 місяці тому +1

      Hi Simon, I was so pleased to see the Merlin again, probably one of my favourite birds of prey, so fast and so deadly! You can use HEIC files which can do video, I think you need a HEVC to convert it but I am not totally sure. I know OM systems use it and I think Nikon do to, It's a handy function for sure. I hope you have a great time at the Photography show, it's a place to burn a hole in ones wallet, lol... Thanks as always. Rich 👍

    Great video Richard so lucky to have all that wildlife on your doorstep, quick question are you editing all the people out of your videos or are the parks generally that empty 🤣🤣 by the way I got my RF 200-800 not given it a proper try out, I know it won't replace my 600mm F4 but it's a lot easier to walk round with.

    • @RichardBirchett
      @RichardBirchett  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks very much Tony, it's very lucky for such a busy place! There are always lots of people but I try and record when they have gone, not always easy I can tell you! Nice one with the RF 200-800, I've had a go and it's a great lens, bit heavier than I expected but what a reach to have! Yeah, doesn't replace the Prime easily! Cheers Rich

    @wildphil 4 місяці тому +2

    Fantastic footage, Richard! 👍 I'm aware of the overheat issues on Canon cameras but my R6 and R7 have so far never had problems. Is it possible that easycover is restricting heat escape by any chance? I see its a cold day given you're wearing a beanie! It can't be right that the R3 is overheating, surely.
