I thought that was such a lovely video to watch. Very calming. You have a nice voice. Great shots of the birds too.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks Sheila, it's nice to know that someone enjoys listening to me 🙂

What a wonderful relaxing video Gary, the perfect way to spend lunch on a stressful day at work. The photos are great, those nuthatches in particular are stunning looking birds. I must give this place a try, the birds didn't look too far from the hide so maybe my trusty old 70-200 would even be enough. If not it's even more incentive to finally grab a 100-400.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks very much. Yep I think that you'll be fine there with the 70-200 🙂

[@jefffiles9209]

What a lovely, relaxing feel-good film. The Mandarin duck looks great. As you say, I think some advanced technology is taking the fun & skill out of photography. Doing ok mate, thanks for asking. Always good to see doing well.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks very much Jeff, glad to hear that you are doing well 🙂

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Enjoyed the video as usual Gary. As you say it's nice to do some wildlife photography for a change and it's very relaxing. You captured some really great image's. Look forward to the next Pubcast.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks very much Tim 🙂

[@martingoff-jones2184]

A man of many talents! Love that last shot of the marsh tit looking straight down the lens, all the photos were great though. i don’t think it matters that the birds come to you, you’ve still got to capture the moment. We have a posh bird table in the garden at our new place, and get so much enjoyment watching all the birds come and go. We actually get up to 20 starlings at once, they are so funny squabbling away at each other. We’ve even had 8 collared doves at the same time, and actually get wagtails in the garden too. Maybe i’ll get my camera out one day & catch a few shots. Nice plug for the pubcast too, not that you were bothered to do one this week of course 😁

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Ah yes, starlings! We get loads of them in our garden during the spring. They go mad for the suet pellets I put out. I have video somewhere of about 40 of them squabbling over the food!

[@dannymacamaturephotographe6352]

Just started following you Gary. don't worry about people watching your great videos. we all love it because we are interested in wild life photography . keep doing what you are doing. Danny

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks for the follow Danny and I hope that you enjoy the content 🙂

[@howardpayne6064]

Been there many times. I’m just down the road in Raunds . Lovely photos

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks Howard, its a lovely place isnt it? 🙂

[@DanielBennettphotographyuk]

Brillent mate ha ha yes I was answering your questions as they came along ha ha. Iv recently got into wildlife photography it's a great way to just slow down and enjoy the peace and quiet

[@hyphenphotography]

Nice having a virtual chat with you Gary, most enjoyable :) Also enjoying the Pubcasts. I haven't been to a hide in ages, so must look for somewhere local and get my ass in gear with my equally ancient 5DIV. I like the square format images at the end. Keep up the great work, mate

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks mate, it is nice just to spend a couple of hours in a local hide 🙂

[@ivanstevens]

I’m good thanks. I may take a trip there myself. Great images by the way.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Good to know that you're well mate 🙂 I would definitely recommend a visit!

[@501CM]

Thanks for the video

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks for talking the time to watch 🙂

[@Kevin_YouTube]

Nice one Gary - so relaxing. Pubcast? Wouldn't miss it but I listen on Spotify as I drive to and from work!

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Glad that you enjoy it mate 🙂

[@geordielad82uk]

Great video Gary, making me want to spend a day out for wildlife, been awhile because Ilast visits to a hide nothing was around & felt like wasted time. But nothing better than being in the peace & quiet

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

I know what you mean, I have had days where it's been very quiet and it can feel like a wated journey, but even then it's still nice just to get out and be alone with your thoughts for a while 🙂

[@rlrphotography-uk]

very nice , I like that place ,been a few times. Loads of Red Kites about normally other side of the park.of course we like the pubcast best sunday prog on YT.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks Roger, and I'm also glad that you enjoy the Pubcast 🙂

[@mark450]

I havn't been there since the late 1970's! Love the brilliant Mandarin Duck shot. It's always great to just sit and enjoy the countryside and get a shot off if it appears.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks Mark, it's well worth a revisit if you're local...

[@ChrisToombes]

Beautiful footage and photos Gary. I think you’ve definitely found your niche, good for the soul and for the portfolio. Have you thought of using a sand bag to rest your lens on especially in hides. Supports the lens and easier to cart around than a tripod.

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Thanks Chris and that's a good piece of advice, I keep meaning to get myself one of those!

[@Lightsmith_UK]

🙂👍

Don't mind you waffling on at all. I certainly don't have the patience for wildlife photography, unless its cows. Saw my first kingfisher of the year last week, virtually fell over it on the riverbank, you don't see the little buggers until they zoom off. Also saw my first red squirrel of the year the week before; we're right on the border between reds and greys so you don't know what you're going to get. I like the common or garden birds. I've been feeding a family of carrion crows (hoodies) for the last five or six years, watching them grow and have big dopey fledglings of their own; also drives my neighbour nuts as he hates them. He put a bird plastic falcon on his back wall to scare them off. The crows sit on its head and peck at its eyes 😁

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

I do love a crow 🙂 I'd love to see a red squirrel or two, I really must get to somewhere where they are common and get a few images 🙂

[@iainmc9859]

I think there's some in Wales. The closest place (to you & me) is probably Callendar, at the foot of the Trossachs, where they are in the majority. I haven't seen a red squirrel in my village woods (2 mins walk away) but its only a matter of a year or so and it will happen. Its illegal to re-release a grey squirrel back into the wild in Britain. You catch it, you eat it !@@GaryNormanPhoto

[@garystone6583]

great little video mate. do love my wildlife photography. your images are spot on and for me the long tailed tit, just love them little beauties. 👍

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Cheers mate, I know what you mean about the LTT's they are really fun to shoot 🙂

[@keithratcliffe5576]

Thanks Gary, aren't birds wonderful?

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

Agreed Keith, I love the birds, they are so relaxing to watch 🙂
