A serene morning of bird photography in the countryside - Nikon Z8

Join me as I embark on a tranquil morning stroll through the picturesque countryside near my home, capturing the beauty of birds through my lens. Still in the recovery period after my recent operation, I find solace in spending time with nature close to home. The gentle rustling of leaves, the distant calls of swallows—it’s a soothing balm for both body and soul. During this peaceful outing, I encountered pheasants, swallows, and a delightful array of other feathered friends. Thank you to everyone who has sent their well wishes during my healing journey. Let’s cherish these moments together!

Hope you enjoy this video and your photography

Sunday is a busy day for me (Church Minister) but I always look forward to the time I can sit down and watch the weekly video. Thanks as ever.

Hi Darrell
The robin on the post was really nice and the swallows are always well worth a photograph. It was a pleasant relaxing video. Take care. Many Thanks Jon and Sandra

Thx Darrell. Very good point you make about access to the countryside via public footpaths. I think it’s something many Brits take for granted. As an ex-pat one of my biggest frustrations is not having legitimate access to the countryside in the same way you have in the UK

You live in a lovely part of the country, Darrell. Must be great to have that sort of countryside to explore right outside your front door. I think the un-named bird feeding on the berries at around 5.36 is a juvenile willow warbler.

Glad you thought to take it a bit easier as not good to overdo it and spoil your recovery. Photos were superb as always (especially the swallow in flight) and I enjoyed seeing your local area - what a great place to live. And definitely wise to be aware of slippery stiles. Some in my area are so narrow, too, that you feel your foot will slide off. And some are made for giants with long legs!! Lol!

Crikey you'd have been knackered after that little morning of activity. Glad to see you found some lovely images to help with the recovery process though.

Lovely video Darrell, took me 8 weeks after surgery (not as serious as yours) to be fully back to fitness. Frustrating but worth not overdoing it and causing any issues

Hi Darrell. Really impressed with your photography. I am keen to improve my bird photography and was considering changing from Fuji XT 5 to Nikon Z8. Was wondering if you or any of your subscribers have any advice.
