Hard REALITY of BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY // Birds of prey in snow

I realized that I sometime can stress to get new bird species to photograph. But that is not the way I want to have a great time in nature.
In this episode, we soar alongside nature's finest hunters, showcasing their awe-inspiring beauty and untamed elegance. From the goshaw to the rough-legged buzzard, I capture the essence of these magnificent creatures and delve into the challenges of photographing them in the winter scenery.
I also found a dipper in a local river. Where I worked with capturing this bird with slow shutterspeed to get a different type of image.

It doesn't get any better than this, Trond. Stills and video are as nearly perfect as it is possible to get. You are there, Trond.

It is always a joy to watch the videos here...the childlike glee, excitement and wonder filled eyes and expression of Trond Westby is something that is fascinating and infectious...superb video footage and snaps and the running commentary puts us right in the thick of action alongside this superb Birder...not to be missed.
