Mike if i may. I really like your film and the way you explain things. Cool tip with this location in Spain. If you will ever be in Poland give me a call. I have some coool spots in lake country. Chris

Hi, when I select PreMF, there is no Autofocus, so how do i measure the distance?

Just magnificent 🔥❤️‍🔥

Fantastic Mike 👏🏻🙏🏻

There is no left and right low windows for large lens like 600mm? Why?

Immerse thanks for detailed review. I just bought a second hands (in excellent condition) 150-600mm at 1700USD. I will use it with monopod, because I can't afford my dream lens (150-400mm f4.5)...😢

Hi Mike, just watched your latest video, how apt, my wife and I were walking our 2 labs on our local common, we have seen Roe deer there many times but today a Muntjac deer crossed our path, it stopped looked at us then walked on, no panic, dogs were on lead and never noticed, thanks for sharing, have a lovely Christmas.

Golfers use a bit of grass, as an angler i use my face

GH7 with CF card might be the best choice of these threee?

Amazing footage 👍👍♥️

Great going mike, you are really educating. I, presume that deer was happy enough on getting captured by you. It is obvious that he has shown his free jumping stance in air, was an expression of freedom, happiness and getting out of his own apprehensions about an intrinsic unknown fear because of your unvisible presence. Yes, and when realise that your presence without any danger to him, he expressed his freedom and joy to himself. That's what I think..... Btw thanks for this educational session. Regards

Use talcum powder in a small plastic container to keep it dry you want one with a small hole in the top and a screw on cap when you want to check the wind just take the cap off and give the bottle or container a sharp squeeze and you'll get a puff of talc coming out gives you the air direction straight away hope that helps you .

Hi Mike, great video, It looks like it could be a case of this young buck having a nasal bot fly or two up his snout, I can't think of no other logical reason for this kind of behaviour. Seasons greetings 👍🎄

Superb Mike love it

As always another fabulous watch. Great coat! I’ve got one too, really warm and great value! What’s happened though - the vids are coming through on Friday! Still great work though.

Excellent Mike, really enjoyable.

Great video Mike. All very interesting and informative. I admire your patience. If you stay there long enough with your thermal imager you might see a red man with a few reindeer! Merry Christmas.

Great work Mike, that's what I like about nature, you never can know or predict what's going to happen !!! 🤠😎

Superb❤

Thanks, Mike. Great video and stills.

You've got a great set-up there, Mike. Brilliant...I'm envious!

The rodeo was having a binky moment

Rabbits do the same thing it's called a binky probably for fun great video again Mike 👍📷

Excellent video, Mike, and I learned some things from it. I think your little buck was just telling you that he knew you were over there and he just didn't care. A bit of a playful bit.

Brilliant as ever Mike, thank you for making this, stunning video and stills, and great field craft skills. Very helpful indeed 👍 have a nice Christmas and a happy new year.

I used to teach stalking and I used a small plastic bottle with baby powder in it a gentle squeeze set a. Little puff of powder out which showed the wind direction

Why I don't use primes. Thanks for the new species, I'd never heard of muntjac.

It must be terrible being a deer, constantly in fear of potential dangers. This deer seemed to go from being almost suspicious of danger, then to be suddenly filled with an inexplicable and glorious joy for no apparent reason. Where I used to live in Lancashire there was no deer but on my last visit in July 2024 I saw several Roe deer. Merry Christmas from Australia.👍

The roe deer in the field near me have learnt to lick from the sheep salts buckets that the farmer leaves out for his sheep

Excellent work!.

Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Great video Mike.. when you are in a field that’s had sheep in it, grab some wool, there’s always some about.. then take a strand out of your pocket and let the wind catch it.. the best method for showing light breezes.. that or cotton hanging off the end of your lens hood.. hope these ideas work for you

Interesting behaviour . It will be interesting to see if the Sony A1 mark 2 will be able to track/capture that sort of action in video. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year Mike 👍

Very nice video Mike. I sold my 300mm. I often wish I had kept it. Easy to be wise after the event.

Some detailed shots Mike - have a great Christmas.

It looks to me as if that roe deer was suddenly being bothered (bitten?) by an insect or tic on its body and was trying to get rid of it. It was shaking its head, which it would not do if it was fleeing from a predator as it would want to see clearly with its head held still as it fled.

Apps like Windy will allow you to view wind direction. At least the general direction.

Deer Zoomies!!!

Thank you Mike! Another great video! I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots of good footage 😃

I just said goodbye to my old hide, had it for 17 years and it was poorly. Now, say hello to the Buteo Aquila Mk2! Should arrive in the next few days. Thanks Mike!

The best thing I‘ve found to test the wind direction are soap bubbles! Use either a child‘s toy bubble maker (the type you blow through) or the smaller ones sold for weddings. They cost next to nothing.

Great video mike have a nice Christmas and a happy new year take care

That channel is the River Haven, the tidal part of the River Witham that runs through Boston. In the 1970s, ships used to use it to get to the docks at Boston, but I don't know what it's like now. I have seen snipe at Fairburn Ings nature reserve in Yorkshire, in the eastern part of the reserve, east of the main lake there.

Stunning video and stills, what a very special experience

Excellent bird observation footage. Thanks for sharing. A big LIKE from me. Greetings from Singapore.

Lovely Video Mike, i have seen most of the birds at Keyhaven Marshes but never seen a Snipe, one of the comments mentioned Arundel, i will have to check it out, thanks for sharing.

Nice shots using the Oly 100-400. I use this lens too (with the OM-1 original) for still photos. I think the lens is often given bad marks for being "soft." Under the right conditions, however, it can take beautiful, detailed photos, as you show here.

Nice video Mike! May I ask what issue you have with 150-400 ? Ronny //

Another excellent video, Mike. The Snipe really are the cherry on top of the cake. I've only seen them that close at RSPB Rainham and even then only once in all the years I've been going there. That hide looks awesome and I'll have to try to get to it. Thanks, again!
