How To Photograph Birds in Winter (Detailed Guide and Fieldfare Session)

Welcome to the first film of 2023 !! Well the start to the year in terms of weather has been a shocker to say the least. Biblical rain and poor light has lead to a veritable drought on the photography front. Luckily a break in the weather and a cold snap sees me heading to a local permission where there are healthy numbers of Fieldfare, a Winter migrant Thrush from Scandinavia.

We make use of one of Tragopans great hides, the V6 and demonstrate various methods of shooting low down. Grab yourself a brew and enjoy the film.
