[@janinymanwildlife4563]

Amazing picture again 👍Goshawks are so beautiful🙂

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot!

[@michealpociecha8351]

So fun your able to get such great photos of goshawks.

[@thunder7382]

I admire that you are still using D500/D4 and get better images than most of a bunch of wildlife photographers,who rave about mirrorless and are obsessed with equipment..Big like. Cheers from another D500 user..

[@scipio0793]

This! Exactly this! Im a D500 user and I simply love it. So happy to see Trond using one.

[@laurencearnold5822]

Stunning Goshawk images Trond, 13 minutes went by in a flash👍

[@trondwestby]

[@VideoNatur]

Wonderful and exciting contribution! Best regards and a good start to the new week, Rolf

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much Rolf!

[@gotophotoarchive9131]

Wonderful birds 📽

[@KevinNordstrom]

"this is wild nature.." you hit it right on the head brother. Wildlife photography, especially bird photography, is therapy for the mind and soul. The noise of the wind, the whispers of the songs from the birds is nothing short of meditation. Being out in Gods creation away from the chaos of life is awe inspiring. Great shots of the hawk,Trond.

[@r2hildur]

There is nothing like it. Early morning with the sound of the birds, your camera gear, some coffee or tea. Bliss.

[@derricksalisbury7631]

[@lortopalt]

Tack Trond, härlig film igen, och tack för tipsen med Topaz Denise. Den 17 Jan sitter jag i gömsle i Gysinge, Sverige, och väntar på fina fåglar. Du gör ett fantastiskt jobb. God Jul på dij.

[@Phazephoto]

Awesome video Trond. Very inspiring 👍

[@roydassen]

Loved you blog !

[@trondwestby]

Thanks Roy, really appreciate your compliment.

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Hey Trond, the Goshawk is a beautiful but fierce bird of pray. It looked like it was pretty cold. It's great to see your video this week I missed them on my Saturday morning. Awesome still photos and video! Greg

[@trondwestby]

Hi Greg! It absolutely is :) Thanks a lot for your kind compliment as always :)

[@heinihefti8969]

Beautiful bird and pictures. I'm still waiting to see my first hawk in the wild. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us again and again. Heini

[@trondwestby]

Thanks Heini! Hope you see it one day...amazing bird :)

[@GunnarDresler]

That intro gives me that adventure feel. Like sitting out in the marsh waiting to hear the black grouse feel. I miss these things so much right now, thanks for a piece of calm, Trond :)

[@asifalam223]

What a beautiful birds of prey you hv managed to take some outstanding frame love it Hv a wonderful weekend Stay safe...and also can't wait to see for upcoming video which was you share the information regarding you and Morten hilmer 🤞

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much Asif! Much appreciated.

[@paddykeogh1495]

Great video i love all birds of prey the thing i am sure you know i would point out to you is that your shutter is so noisy that it would scare the birds away

[@paulgray2682]

Great video, I love your birds of prey from your hide videos, so much you’ve inspired me to build one here in the UK, thank you keep them coming 👍

[@mustafakasapoglu]

Trond, you have moved all the excitement in to our house. It was an incredible time during the 13 minutes you shared with us. I dont recall how many times I rewinded and watched again the most excited parts. Thank you so much!..

[@CookedLight]

Stunning eyes...love how you tell us to shush, then the D5 lets out a machine gun blat 😂

[@benjaminphoto3752]

Veldig bra video! kjekt å se litt hvordan du gjør det så jeg kan lære litt selv, nå som jeg har begynt å fotografere rovfugler😊

[@trondwestby]

Tusen takk :)

[@dbphotofilm]

really like this video great stuff

[@BullitTom]

Stunning images again Trond, and I see you’ve jumped up to the D5 as well :)

[@geetasawant8795]

Hey this is Kalpak Sawant do you remember or you forgot.... I love this video very very much

[@trondwestby]

Hi! I remember....you made a cool picture of me :) Thanks a lot

[@sureshmp7118]

Great

[@colinjohnson9728]

do you have tips on a new nikon camera 😃📷

[@trondwestby]

Depends on your budget, but I love the D500 as a crop camera. And I think you can get a great deal on this camera second hand.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Extremely well made video, as usual, Trond. But your stills of the goshawk are absolutely exquisite. I'm guessing that I see a Z9 in your future if for no other reason than to get rid of that clacking shutter. I could tell that the birds noticed it and didn't hang around much after you shot stills on continuous mode. I have the same situation with my D850 but since I don't shoot video I'm not sure I will make the move.

[@WhistlesToAnimals]

I want to entertain you and make you laugh with some true stories that happened in the last few weeks. I feed birds and I get a lot more than my share of hawks visiting. On two occasions just recently, I opened my window and with a big spoon and pan, I was drumming as loud as I could out of my window. That had no effect on the hawks. Then I grabbed my camera and took pictures of them while they were watching me knowing I don't like them still with my window open. I think one was a sharp shinned hawk and the other was a Cooper's hawk. Not to sound like a wiseazz, but we both got good pictures. You did it in extreme hiding mode in that hut, and I did it while being as obnoxious as possible just short of shooting fireworks while hanging out of my building. Maybe accipers that hunt in people's backyards are conditioned to tolerate folks that want them to go elsewhere. Just stuff that crossed my mind as I watched how invisible you tried to be compared to when I was wondering how many neighbors I would be disturbing. Haha. Wildlife photography is an awesome interest, thanks for sharing.

[@Banjmedina]

hey Trond.. "for this specific shoot" did you used a bait to lure the raptors?

[@trondwestby]

Hi Banji! I put out roadkill

[@bestpix100]

Thank you so much for your time and effort. Great footage and pics. Did you bait the perches?

[@fnix6636]

where is this? and how do you know what location to shoot? how do you know where the birds are going to be?

[@atropicali]

Still whispering again 😄

[@laku4412]

Fantastic shots and beautiful video! Goshawk are such stunning birds. What apertures do you typically shoot these larger birds at? I tend to struggle with getting them all sharp at times without sacrificing too much light.

[@pgordijn4561]

Why not using a mirrorless camera with an electronic shutter for the skittish Goshawk. The shuttersound is enough to scare some birds away. The shots are wonderful though.

[@trondwestby]

When Z9 comes my way I will :)

[@philipwatson2443]

when did you get the D5 Trond?

[@JoaoRodrigues_photo]

Hi trond! I really have been enjoying your work almost since the beginning of your channel and I really have to congratulate you for your work! I have to ask you if you change your tint in lightroom, because some of your photos seem to be a little too magenta. Is that on purpose?

[@trondwestby]

Hi! I never change the tint. But with that said, I personally like the cold and warm tones together.

[@JoaoRodrigues_photo]

@@trondwestby and why dont you change? doesnt the camera get it wrong sometimes?

[@Bomjarboje]

Sir whic which camera model do you use? Any ways love to see you vlog😍❤️

[@trondwestby]

In the video I used the nikon D5. Thanks Bomjar 🙏😀
