Man vs CUCKOO and Cuckoo Won!!! - UK WILDLIFE and NATURE photography, Summer Leys

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Lovely shots of small birds Keith, and cuckoo's I feel your pain!! They always seem to be a couple of hundred yards in front of me....somewhere!!😂👍

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Scott. Yes the Cuckoo's can be a difficult one.

[@AndyGustavsson]

Great video Keith, the cuckoo are really hard to get a photo of, they are so aware of everything! Looks like a nice place for birding in general, hope you're staying healthy! 😊👌

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Andy. Yes they are tricky birds. It's a great place always something going on and only 5 mins from home so really lucky. Stay safe too mate, cheers Keith

Unlucky with the cuckoo but it was so great hearing him sing. Willow warbler song too. Nice video KG

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate and thanks for identifying the Willow Warbler. Yea the Cuckoo sounds great but really hard to get close to. Cheers Keith

[@benpulletz]

Yes very nice shots of swift , I tried yesterday in the strong winds down here in Somerset wow they are hard yes I had to expose quite highly to actually show the bird too. We have a night heron at my local reserve at the moment .😃

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Ben. Yes the Swifts are definitely not an easy bird. Wow would love to see a Night Heron smart looking birds. Thanks for watching. Cheers Keith

Hi Keith nice video and a good mixture of different birds, I'm the same in as much as I would take a shot then identify it later. Ha Ha cuckoo chasing could be an Olympic sport one day. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend

[@KGsPhotography]

Hi Clive. I like the Olympic sport idea but really can't see me getting gold after this one 😂. Glad you liked the vid thanks for watching and stay safe. Cheers Keith

[@steveverityphotography1281]

Very nice Keith sorry you didn't get what you wanted but you got some good shots anyway. I can't help with the warblers I'm afraid because I am not that good myself but great vlog anyway.👍

[@KGsPhotography]

Cheers Steve appreciate you comment. I think the Warbler in the video is either Garden or Willow but not sure. Thanks again cheers Keith

Liked it!

Thanks

[@sandisonappletv8772]

love the new sound of music on your vids Keith, its cool. Gotta love epidemic eh !! great vid, have you changed camera for blogging too ?

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate. I have been using an IPhone 11 for a good few months now but what I have been doing lately is using the front facing camera rather than the rear facing. I think it makes a difference. I also have an Osmo Mobile 3 gimble I have been using to help improve the quality.

Excellent video Keith, will definitely watch more, I’ve just subscribed. As you from one of our videos know we love cuckoos. Keep up the good work Gem 👍🏻

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Gem appreciate you watching. Cuckoo's, great but frustrating. Cheers Keith

[@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE]

Excellent video. So you struggle with bird identification as well hey ? I been doing it for years yet always something to learn !

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks you. Well we all love a challenge and identifying birds if definitely that. Thanks for watching, cheers Keith

[@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE]

@@KGsPhotography same !

[@jasonlaughton7]

Thanks for everything. I have a question. What is the music called at the beginning of the vlog. Please can you tell me. Thanks

[@KGsPhotography]

The music is called "Been So Long". I get my music from Epidemic Sound www.epidemicsound.com/referral/o58du9/ they have some great music for creators.

Hi Keith, great video, great images of the Swift, they are so difficult to photograph! I see you are wearing an apg jacket, how do you find it? Would you recommend it? Where did you get it? Keep up the good work. Cheers David

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks David. Yes the Swifts can be very difficult but great fun trying. To be honest the Jacket was one of the worst things I have brought. May be just this one but it has a plastic lining and does not breath at all. As soon as it gets remotely warm it gets very sweaty. In fact I have just purchased a new Jacket which I would really recommend. It is reversible, has a fantastic number of pockets and is waterproof and breathable. The only thing it doesn't have is a hood. I purchased it off Amazon, here is the link amzn.to/3dLHciU . Thanks for watching... Cheers Keith

[@vw1camp713]

KG's Photography Cheers Keith, appreciate your honesty!

[@andykimpton7877]

Hi Keith what brand of Lens Camo are you using please, it all looks pretty confusing online so it would be nice to have a recommendation? keep up the good work. Cheers Andy

[@KGsPhotography]

Hi Andy. The one I have is LensCoat. It's good but they are expensive. Whether it is worth the money is open for debate. I have just checked the Amazon link and it says its not available at the moment but this is the info. amzn.to/2AcRDNC . Sorry that's not a great help.

[@andykimpton7877]

@@KGsPhotography Thank you Keith, much appreciated.

[@malcolmfarley1958]

Great video content, I'm new to photographing birds and having trouble identifying birds ,so I tried this app .. Merlin bird id, it's quite good and it's free available on apple and android.

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Malcolm. I have heard of the Merlin app. I use something similar which is the Collins Bird app but still find the Warblers hard. Cheers Keith

[@wildlifeinmygarden2117]

[@cpphotography5691]
