BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY is MORE than THIS // Chair blind - Urban wildlife

Its is not always about large birds, like birds of prey or owls. For me bird photography is more than that. There are so many cool small birds with different colors, behaviour and song.
I love to use blinds, and this time I use the newest edition from tragopan. A chair blind called Lagopus. A great way to photograph warblers.
Check out the blind here: tragopan-shop....

Hello Trond, another great video with a awesome selection of photographs. Your enthusiasm for wildlife photography is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much Malcom.....I feel so honored to be inspiring you. Thanks for your ongoing support and all these lovely comments :)

[@danielm1dnighthunt3r87]

I completely understand, I love the Redkites that fly around here and many other local birds if prey. But they’re not as joyful as the silly and fun kingfishers, Bluetit or my newest addition the rebellious teen Golden-Crowned Kinglet

[@TandemAdventures]

Small birds are my favorite. Hard to capture, but their subtle beauty is so captivating. Easy to overlook for many people. That's why I feel when you/we show them to the world, it is so important. Thank you Trond! BTW- your music is simply perfect.

[@trondwestby5264]

They are hard, but that is what makes it fun and exciting :) Thank you so much for your compliment and support!

[@mikecrowley6485]

Great photos. Blind is not so expensive as I thought it would be. Love the video.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much! i agree, and these have great quality and last for a long time.

[@paulinefollett3099]

I love your blind. It looked comfortable too. I have never seen a hood on a seat before.

Thanks Keith1 Thats awesome! Its always nice to have nature close by

[@peterrussell7667]

Great Hide set up and video . Trond . I too like to photograph the Small birds here in Australia so keep up your brilliant work . cheers

[@jenspeterkragh6155]

Super video Trond, tak for snakken. 👍📸

[@trondwestby5264]

Hei Jens! Takk i like måte. Og god tur videre i Norge :)

[@KevinNordstrom]

Some really great shots, Trond. 8:20 was my favorite. Eagles and hawks are my favorite but those smaller birds are without a doubt the hardest to capture making them some of the best birds to photograph. Especially those warblers. So fast but extremely beautiful. Thank you for another great experience.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much Kevin! Really great you liked it. Don´t get me wrong I like big birds as well, but there are something great doing small birds. And as you say, they are not easy to photograph. And that is so exciting when I use all my knowledge and you come away with pictures you like :)

[@angelaknight903]

So inspiring thank you Trond

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you Angela! :)

[@jeffolson4731]

Great pictures as always. That chair looks nice. I still haven't used a hide but the results you get make me think I should seriously consider it.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thanks a lot! You should, its a lot of fun :)

Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing! Greetings, Rolf

[@juanitakelly3082]

Excellent! Voice over is always okay with me but we do miss your sweet whispering! That looked like a comfortable chair.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thanks for your kind compliment. This time I had to do voiceover, since my mic died 😂

[@ramidos007]

Liked the blind

[@richardfink7666]

As always very entertaining!

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much Richard!

[@TBuanes_Photography]

Nice shots yet again Trond. Photographing small birds is just as fun as photographing anything else. Not as special as an Owl though, but just as fun. These little birds are as you mention in almost every color there is out there and they are just stunning to watch in action. :) That chair blind looks amazing. Light and easy to set up I guess :)

[@trondwestby5264]

Thanks a lot Trond :)

[@allanternent8862]

Milujem drobné spevavé vtáky. Super video...

[@clivewelch1025]

Hi Trond it's been a while since I've seen one of your videos where you look comfortable lol. I agree it's not all about big birds Eagles-Buzzards etc the small birds deserve some limelight to. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you Clive ! Haha....My body pays for it now, as my arm is not too good for the moment. Hope it gets well soon.

Lovely video and images!

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Beautiful shots of what I believe is a red-eyed vireo, Trond. BTW, I've been using a home made chair blind something like yours for more than a year now and find it very effective within 12 to 15 ft of a feeding station. I use a folding shooting stool with a folding back and drape about 3 yards of camouflage mosquito needing over it with a slit for for the camera lens. I can see out but I'm pretty well hidden from the birds. Also, ticks are a big health problem here. I've been treated for Lyme disease which is borne by ticks and it is serious. I've found that spraying my clothing with Permethrin the night before wearing them and letting it dry overnight is a very effective tick repellent along with all the usual precautions. I would spray the chair and netting, also.

[@debbiewitt7028]

Great video Trond, I have that same blind and camo net, never thought about putting the camo net around the front for better viewing. I do use a pillow under my bum and on the back to keep my back from aching. Beautiful shots.

[@wowazaharow3930]

Супер красиво ☺

[@jdhawk1ns]

Enjoyed the video, good to see how useful such a hide can be. Do you have a link to the camo you use please?

[@SeanMiller318]

Great video and nice shots. 👍👍

[@MrPaulo164]

Wonderful photos and video! I also want to start a video project, and I'm learning a lot from you. Keep the good work!

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you Paulo! Wish you best of luck with video

[@marcob5466]

again a good video. what kind of camouflage net is that, it looks damn good?!

[@RIDDX2010]

Tap luring

[@j4kke046]

Awesome video Trond! What brand of lens camo are you using? Greetings from Belgium! 😊

[@zenphotojourney]

So beautiful! I'd love to know what settings you use to get that wonderful slow motion video.

[@norskattforfun8575]

Great photos as always. What sort of birds were they please?

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much! It is called a willow warbler :)

[@PepAviario]

Ver como fotografías voy a comprar un hide pero no se cual sería más adaptado para empezar si me puedes aconsejar gracias Un saludo

[@trondwestby5264]

Creo que empezaría con la piel V6 de tragopan. Esto es fácil de configurar y fácil de llevar en un viaje.

[@mattanYT]

What camera were you photographing with in this video?

[@stevenpollock4574]

Trond, I'm curious how many photos you would take that day in the hide ? As time goes by, I'm finding that I'm taken advantage of the bursting mode more and more. I'm also thinking I'm going to hit the limits of the life expectancy of the camera quickley.

[@trondwestby5264]

Haha.....many. I find myself taken almost twice as much pictures with 20 FPS on the Z9 😅Thanks for the comment and support!

[@sailortoni]

Estoy buscando uns SILLA con esa red para la selva, que marca es la tuya

[@terilapetino6337]

Great idea but which net did you get with the chair? There are 4 choices but I can’t tell which one you had. I can’t tell if the smaller one has an opening for the lens. Thanks!

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you so much! Its a 3D blanket, also from tragopan.

[@hrv-nl]

@@trondwestby5264 I am unable to find the 3D blanket on their website. Do you know the name of it?

[@dobrolv]

Hi, Trond! Are you using bird voices to attract the birds to your spot?

[@trondwestby5264]

Hi Jurjis! I use a little bird call, and stop as soon as the bird arrives. Not to over do it.

[@garyharrer254]

Is this the z9 or the z6ii

[@trondwestby5264]

It is the Z9 :)

[@gaming-banik3634]

Are you best small birds photography.

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you!

[@pablo-fotoprzygoda]

Good video, but why you using the same music like Morten? Be original man😉 Good luck in next adventures 💪📷

[@trondwestby5264]

Thank you Paplo! 👍. We are both using epidemic sound to use on KZbin. So its always a chance of using same music as other do. But I am changing from epidemic to some one else. So there will be not so many using this same music. Thanks a lot for your compliment and honost Feedback. Really appreciate it buddy 👍😄

[@pablo-fotoprzygoda]

@@trondwestby5264 I know how it's works😉 I'm looking forward for you next project. Good luck Trond 💪📷😉
