Another superb video with great tips. The bendy clips are used in studio photography and you can get a variety of options of what is on the 'other' end. I’ve adapted one as a plamp for macro photography. I hope your ankle is on the mend.
Using the bendy arm to make a plamp - that's genius! Why didn't I think of that...? Great idea. Ankle is much better thanks - it will take a while to get back to fully strength.
Ive watched lots of videos from numerous bird photographers on youtube and realise that this is fairly common practice but after now photographing birds for a few years in the wild in Australia I feel extremely lucky that we have such an abundance of bird/wildlife that almost negates the need for this style of photography. Dont get me wrong I do attend a small number of public access bird hides and blinds but the vast majority of photographing of birds that I have and still do is finding locations where birds congregate and photographing them on the fly, so to speak. There are a number of bird Hot Spots around Australia, luckily I have a number within a 1 hour drive where a great variety of all types of birds can be seen at reasonably close quarters, everything from waders to raptors...... Australia is a bird photographers dream.....
Sounds fantastic. Didn't realise Australia could be so good for bird photography. Here in the UK it can be quite a challenge: many of the bird hides on nature reserves are just not suited to photography - and then you have the occasional issues between birdwatchers and photographers (this is one of the reasons I largely stay away from them!). Like you I very much enjoy shooting in a natural way, quietly concealed, as birds go about their business in their natural habitat. Setting up hides is also enjoyable - I think partly because I'm creating something of my own.. and seeing it through. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, and of course for taking the time to comment.
i looked on E Bay for the lazy holders. Several costed around £4 but looked flimsy. Saw comments from users which said they were too flimsy for their mobile phones so did you use a more expensive version?
I find it is important to place the perch just far enough from the feeder so that woodpigeons cannot reach the food, otherwise it goes down quite quickly!
@@PaulMiguelPhotography you'll have a better day than me then, i'm at work 8-4 :( i will be out on Thursday morning, trying Exmoor near Porlock for the first time.
Enjoying your videos very much. Big Thank You.

Thank you Paul. This was very educational and I must try and look out for one of those bendy arms for my garden.
Really appreciate that, thanks Colin. The bendy arm is still a fairly new one for me. Cheap too!

Thanks Andrew. Glad you are trying this yourself.
Hi Paul. Cracking video. Can't wait to see if all your hard work pays off ! Many thanks for sharing.
Filmed it today... coming soon! Lots of apples...
Nice video, I cant wait to try this out myself.
Thanks Stephen. I hope you enjoy it!
Good tips, Paul. Thank!
Beautiful Learning tips. Great video Paul Miguel.
Many thanks!
More good tips Paul. It might be an idea to touch on choosing a background before choosing a position for the perch.
Thanks Pete. Good point, I'll take that on board.
Excellent buddy 👍
Thanks very much indeed Mark!
Great tips great vid
Cheers Adrian.

No, I've just used the cheap ones. Having said that I haven't used them loads. I can often just put the perch in the top of a garden pole.

Hi David. I actually had a woodpigeon this morning, but I don't think he can get on the feeders!
omg... full of patience
I like your channel😁
Thank you!
Which is the brand of the hide?
This hide is similar to the 'doghouse' blind from America. There's a few different versions.
Could you give me a link as to where to buy a lazy holder.
Hi Kathryn. I've just bought them on ebay. It was easier that way.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography Many thanks Paul.
Good luck.
Thanks Andy. Got some good images this morning. Part 3 coming soon!
Good tips Paul.
Cheers Phil. I'm in the hide for the first time tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed for something good!
