Hi, Trond, and thank you for your excellent videos. As you mention, the common redstart is now considered to be a member of the Old-world flycatcher family (Muscicapidae). It is a chat and is more closely related to the European robin, the flycatchers and nightingales. I'm luckier than you; I don't have to trek up into the mountains and get eaten by midges in order to photograph a redstart. I have them breeding, most years, here in my village garden in southern Skåne. I'm only just starting out in wildlife photography (I'm only 70!) so I still have a lot to learn 🤣. I'm already picking up numerous tips watching your videos (your falling down tent-hide had me laughing out loud). All the best.

[@gladysklip6984]

Loved watching this video, stunning footage of a gorgeous redstart!

[@philipwatson2443]

Beautiful images Trond

[@h3h3eot]

There is nothing like the thrill of finding the bird you want to capture, and then getting the picture you imagined! Keep it up my friend…..

Tusen takk for hyggelige ord!

[@glennhunt2375]

I can see why you have gained so many subscribers with work like that Trond, the footage was exceptional but the stills where up there with the best I've seen. Certainly the best video I've seen on u-tube to date. 👍

[@trondwestby]

wow....what an awesome and kind compliment. Thanks a lot Glenn!

[@clivewelch1025]

Hi Trond great video to watch and off course I love looking at the awesome images, until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

[@trondwestby]

Hi Clive! Thanks a lot! Glad you liked them

[@dilus13]

Patience is a virtue and you have it in spades Sir. You have a love affair with nature and we have a love affair with watching you capture it 👍

[@trondwestby]

Wow....thanks a lot!

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Hey Trond, beautiful... the feathers on this Redstart are so much better than last year and you were able to get fantastic photos and video! I couldn't help but laugh seeing your blind tumble, I thought I was the only one having issues when I go out. Say'in hey... Greg

[@trondwestby]

Hi Greg! That blind in the hillside was a pain......hahah :) Thanks for the compliment and support!

[@ronnyolsson2802]

What a great video to watch Trond ! Rödstjärt är en så fin fågel :) Ronny //

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot Ronny! Det er jeg helt enig i :)

[@philclancaster]

I got the chance to photograph these colourful birds for the first time this spring, your beautiful photography makes want to try again next spring.

[@trondwestby]

Thats great Phil! Good luck next time

[@im2p]

Outstanding Trond, really amazing. You are the Benchmark! Fullstop!

[@trondwestby]

wow.....thanks lot for your kind compliment!

[@tmjcbs]

Stunning images again! I'm after this bird too, here in the Netherlands, but I haven't yet been able to shoot photos as 'simple' as yours, with that beautiful blurred background. Luckily there are no midgets and mosquitos here. I can tell that for sure because if they are around, they know how to find me...

[@aukevandenakker8001]

Das zeker waar

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot!

[@Cuitcell]

Fine bilder!

[@trondwestby]

Tusen takk :)

[@iandanielson5090]

[@trondwestby]

Thank you Kevin!

[@ivorgottschalk6432]

Wonderful photographs Trond, thanks for taking us along.

[@trondwestby]

Thanks you so much Ivor!

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Really loved this session, Trond. Great captures and beautiful photographs.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you Clifton!

[@PapaVeedy]

Great video Trond! We have the American Redstart here in B.C. And is one of my favourite birds too but very elusive!

[@trondwestby]

Thanks Dusty! Cool you have a similar species

[@markus.herrmann.photography]

Great video as always! The redstarts are also one of my favourite birds. Is the tragopan tent blocking the insects? I was wondering because the used net isn't that narrow. Regards

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot! Not blocking totally, but much better inside blind, than outside. :)

[@flixtorres]

What a great video to watch! Thanks so much, Trond! I almost feel like I've got to watch these beautiful moments too.

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot! What a lovely compliment!

[@ianh8396]

Outstanding shots there Trond, did you use Manual?

[@mike_has]

do you think a 500mm is enough for wildlife or better a 150-600mm? :)

[@daliasamanta2472]

Is important to have a tripod and a hide for bird photography in the forests?

[@trondwestby]

Depend on the species. And the weight of your lense, and how long you have to wait.

[@Joya5545]

I so love your videos Trond, they have a meditative quality about them, an escape from all the stuff we have coming at us each day, thanks. I do have a question about your method of focus, do you pre focus manually and leave it there hoping they will land on that spot? Do you use tracking AI on the birds? do you try to focus on eyes?

[@trondwestby]

wow....thats a great compliment! I use a singel focus point. I pre-focus on that stick, and press the shutter as I see the bird come in.

[@KevinNordstrom]

hey Trond, some awesome shots brother. How is that Tragopan blind working out? ive been eyeing it

[@trondwestby]

Hi! Thanks a lot! I love the blind. I use it very much.

[@biakmawia]

From india never mis ur video ❤...... In india i search a lot of good photo blind n cant find i use small camo tent sone times its a bit annoying wish i can buy popup blind like you use..

[@trondwestby]

Thats awesome to hear! Thank you so much for the compliment and support.

[@laku4412]

fantastic shots! the redstart is such a beautiful bird, one of my absolute favourites. i don't know if you know the scientific name, but it is soooo fitting! phoenicurus phoenicurus, it really does look like a little phoenix, doesn't it? the fire, the coal, the ashes, all of it there in the colors of this bird :)

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much! I have not thought about it, but I think your right :)

[@wudl83]

I think it's not unrealistic to call you "Carl Westby".

[@trondwestby]

I am not sure what it means, but maybe its good 🙈

[@pummelu3423]

It’s but necessary to use a blind while photographing songbirds

[@rkp9953]

Hai bro..I am watching your videos until one year..I am not a professional photographer like you but I want say one thing your photos all awesome but that background is not natural (greenish) that's only I don't like and please show some beautiful moment of birds not common images ..your photos otherwise all are awesome ..sorry if I am anything say wrong ..waiting for your reply thank u

[@tmjcbs]

Eehh...greenish in a forest is as natural as can be...

[@trondwestby]

Hi! I am glad you have been with me for a long time. I am not sure of what you mean by "not natural! ?

[@rkp9953]

@@trondwestby thank you for your reply..for example your cover photo bear background is look yellowish ..if that's look greenish that bear will very beautiful..and too much of blur ..this is my opinion
