THIS will make it more successfully // BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY - shorebirds

I am at my childhood home. Here is a great place for many bird species. Thety come here to eather rest og nest. So its a great place for bird photography. I luckily found a shorebird called little ringed plover. This is a bird I did not photographed before. And my tactic for my success was to stay in one place, rather then walking around looking for it. I pulled my camo blanket from Tragopan over me and waited. And suddenly the bird appeared in front of my 600mm lense.

You realize your posts are so hypnotic and soothing that they are going to put a lot of therapists out of work!

[@trondwestby]

Wow....what a fantastic compliment 😊 Thank you!

[@clivewelch1025]

Hi Trond another lovely video to watch so soothing and feeling at peace with the world which is pretty hard these days. Once again such stunning images and the dear was a great opportunist image. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much for your awesome compliment. I am so honored if I can make my viewers a little bit more peaceful. Take care buddy!

Cute little birds

The ringed plover that we have here in the spring is what we call at killdeer. Some call it a killdee. It looks very similar to the one you photographed so well except ours has a red eye ring. I got lucky and got a photograph of one in flight. It was like trying to photograph a bat with all the jinking and zig zagging.. Your shot of the roe deer in mid leap was a winner, Trond. That doesn't happen often. Congratulations.

Another wonderful video Trond . Reason which I like you so much is you are not only able to shoot great pictures but honestly show efforts behind the scene. Keep it up pal.

[@asifalam223]

I also agree my friend that staying in one place and waiting for the particular target species is ultimate patience game but chances of success is very high because nature never disappoint you if you love with nature ❤ i personally follow the same rules

I must admit I have been very lucky with the Ringed Plover . I had one in flight last week . A good wingspan for such a small bird . Patience and staying in one spot pays off again Trond well done 👍

Hey Trond, i agree... staying in one place definitely gives opportunities. I have found if you try to fallow or(chase) it you end up stressing out your subject and the video or photo look less natural. Beautiful shots of the Plover! Good thing no one was using the road, they might have mashed you since you were using the camo! 😉 Greg

True that! Thank you so much for your kind compliment.

thank you for your beautiful nature videos. it's nice to watch. We appreciate your passion, it is visible in every minute. There is a request, can you post information about what equipment you use in a given video? and the second request can you share the link to the lens support / I don't know what the name of the pillow or something similar is. thank you for the wonderful music for the film, especially this one / extraordinary harmony with the image. You take beautiful photos and videos. Don't forget about the link for a supportive lens cushion

Hello Trond it‘s a Little ringed plover (lat. Charadrius dubius) a common species here in Slovakia on riversides, i got some great times whit this species this year with my D4 and 500 f4, i also got juvenile ones on photos for the first time which has give me much pleasure :)

[@neilcole3406]

Wait to you see ringed plovers chicks!

[@trondwestby]

Hopefully I will one day :)

[@filiplaw]

This might be a silly question, but I’ll ask anyway. 😅 A couple of times in the video you have some small pebbles inside your lens hood. I’ve seen this happen a lot with snow as well. I wonder if this is somewhat intentional? Perhaps to soften the foreground more? I know snow can gather in the lens hood when it’s falling or if you put your lens on the ground, but it seems that with pebbles this wouldn’t happen so easily.

[@trondwestby]

It is not intentional. Its is a resault of me crawling around with this heavy lense 😅

[@ЮлияНизюшкина]

Cute hunter50

[@aturatur1]

great video as always. why were you so confident that the plover would return to that gravel road?

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much! Because it was in that area when I saw it the first time.....it was feeding in that area. So the chance of it coming back where high. But nothing was for sure :) But luckily I was right :)

[@aturatur1]

@@trondwestby I guess I would have walked away. your intuition was good!

[@jonzmoviebar7580]

I guess mileage varies. I find that if I move often to a place I will eventually land on surprises, but I guess that depends what you are looking for. I see people waiting hours in the same spot for rare birds and they eventually caught it for the short time it has shown. I'm not patient enough yet to do that especially if there's other people in the same spot waiting and destroying my confidence with my poor gears.

Can somoene suggest a kit for under 2300 bucks?

[@jonzmoviebar7580]

the whole video made me nervous about the gravel sneaking through the lens barrel and create scratches on a lens that is valued as much as a car :p
