Good to see you back with another lovely video, must agree with some of the Hide prices it is getting ridiculous at some places. Great work again keep it up 👍
Another interesting video to watch and you certainly captured a wide variety of birds. I wanted to ask you both if you feel emotionally different about photos of birds you take using an hide and birds you photograph while not being hidden and having to use not only your photography skills but also knowledge of birds as to where they maybe and where they may show up. I often think with hides your given an enormous amount of help, perches set up, maybe feeders to entice the birds to area and of course the hide itself means your hidden away. This gives you or anybody the opportunity to capture some great images but I just wonder if it’s as satisfying as doing it the hard way and the only cover you have is your camouflage clothing and the only help you have is your knowledge of birds. I would be genuinely interested in your opinion, you may think a photo of a bird is a photo of a bird and how you came to capture it is less important than the actual quality of the photo and I guess the photos you took in this video are only known to us that you took them from a hide is because you showed us, the photos don’t tell us that. Bit of a long comment but I hope you understand what I’m trying to ask.
Hi Darren we fully understand what you are saying and yes we think it’s always more satisfying to capture pictures where field craft has taken place. However pictures from a hide also get you a lot closer to birds than otherwise possible. Our videos have a variety of ways we capture pictures of wildlife. From paid hides, nature reserve hides, to our own hides and finally walking and taking pictures. All require different skills and techniques. We love doing all of them. Hope that answers your question Darren and thanks for your interest in our channel.
Good to see you guys back on the road again, was wondering where you were. The hide looks interesting, sime good small woodland birds, and the Buzzard encounter must have been fantastic. I may have a go as well, but that road dont look good for my little Skoda , Ive just booked a full day again at the leeds wildlife photography hides, £65 for the day, which i find reasonable. What lenses did you guys use for your day?
@@Huddsbirder hi Grant, thanks for your kind comments. Firstly the road is not too bad if you take it steady. Buzzard really gave us the run around as it knew we were there. The Leeds photography hide is also good value. We aim to go back there again at some point. I had a fixed 400mm lens and Natalie had a 100-400mm lens.
Good to see you both back. That looks like a good set-up they've got there and you got some good photos! 👍👍👍
Many thanks Graham and yes a very good set up.
Excellant video looks a super place.
@@kevincarolan7146 thank you for your kind comment. It’s a really nice spot and you feel really isolated.
Nice video and images👍
Thank you Len, much appreciated.

@@tonyslater8762 thanks Tony. Yes it was nice to go to a reasonably and fairly priced hide.
Thank you sharing your videoJohn and Natalie. Its a lovely video with great photos as well. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your visit.😊
Thank you Andrea for a great day. We really enjoyed it. The buzzard did give us the run around 😂
The buzzard has been the same for me today.. Stayed in the trees around the hide all afternoon and it was calling all the time. 😂

Loving the vlog, do you have a link to the hide, I’ve looked up North Star wildlife hide, but don’t seem to find anything
@@alunlambert7456 hi Alun I think the only way you can contact them is via facebook and message them on there.
@@twitcherspictures Thank you for getting back to me
