Fantastic video Simon. I was lucky enough to bring the wife along with me. Luckily for me at least she allowed me to purchase my 150-600mm lens for my Canon 90D camera! That optics/camera tent is truly deadly! Just gotta love Birdfair. Rutland…what a place to have it!

6:58 - A photographer’s dream, and my wife’s worst nightmare! 🤣🤣🤣

[@neilcole3406]

I reckon that Tragopan guy should do his own KZbin channel! Sounds Welsh to me!

[@Brunton_Media]

Love this Simon! great work! hopefully see you next year ;)! thank you for making me aware of it!

[@richardrossiter3001]

Hi Simon, or actually I'm totally calling you Mando Mccabe now 😂 but anyway, great video, I've only just recently discovered both yourself and Simon Eardley and the whole Global birdfair so I'm definitely looking at going next year.

[@SimonMcCabe]

Mando’s fine 😂😂❤️

[@stephenbarlow2493]

The Walkstool, was one of my best buys. Not cheap, but so much better than the cheap ones.

[@SimonMcCabe]

Yes, my thoughts too. So sturdy and much better height. Well recommended.

[@stephenbarlow2493]

@@SimonMcCabe - Yes, the height is best. I think mine are 65cm. No struggling to get up from them.

[@RichardBirchett]

Nice one mate, well covered and a Top production as always! Great to see my mate Si Eardley there working with Tragopan. I must go one year, not keen on vast crowds but I’d love to see that tech! My wife would also go mad😝💪🏻👍

Try the Sunday, it's always a little quieter

[@RichardBirchett]

@@willrobinson3988 cheers Will👍

[@smiffy5467]

Great show, couldn’t get there this year… Sad thing is there’s not many younger people there, are they not interested🤔👍🇬🇧

[@mesutyilmaz6395]

Great video..wanted to visit but made my way to Saltee Island for the great puffins....hopefully next year to be there...:)

[@SimonMcCabe]

Sometimes the allure of wildlife just cannot be ignored. There’s always next year 😎❤️

[@ukwildlife]

Doh! I saw you twice over the weekend, thought that chap looks familiar but could place you so I wimped out of saying hello! Would have if I realised who you were. TBF I was busy recording podcasts and generally running round seeing and chatting to people and doing fun stuff all weekend anyway! Will say hi next time!

[@SimonMcCabe]

Next time dude ❤️

[@dougson56]

Great video Simon it was our first time there, I seemed to end up buying a Sony A7IV and a Zeiss thermal monocular so next time it’s just a bag of chips , keep up the great work.

[@SimonMcCabe]

A7IV vs chips… difficult one 😂 Was an amazing event and can’t wait for next years. Enjoy your new toys 😎

[@GalleryWildUK]

This was my first. Really loved it! Have been kicking myself for not attending it earlier. Do we know what are the dates of the 2025 one?

[@SimonMcCabe]

It certainly was a great event. Keep your eyes on the GBF website and FB page for future dates 😎❤️

[@GalleryWildUK]

@@SimonMcCabe Hope to see you in person!

[@PaulSelway-zc2zl]

Back ground music too loud can't hear what the narrator is saying. Where's the location of the show ?

[@SimonMcCabe]

Lyndon Top, Rutland water.

[@a.d.c.1056]

Background music so annoying way too loud! Good video.

[@SimonMcCabe]

Noted!

[@thomasreed49]

I watched it can’t say I found anything out. It made me feel a bit flat to be honest. The State of the art of being oculus capable of and identifying birds and mammals. Is that a good thing part of being a Birder is the enjoyment of the apprenticeship And finding out the hard way. You become a man that likes looking at birds without identification skills.

[@SimonMcCabe]

Are you talking about the new Swarovski binoculars Tom? I guess it’s not for everyone but could be useful to some. I personally wouldn’t use them but I applaud those offering support in this new age of fast results.

Sub-titles c. 24 mins read "GLOBAL BURNING" for global birding. Just sayin'.
