You both are an example of the fact that "great things never come from comfort zones". Amazing photos and really great video.

Great to know you are recovering well and also able to enjoy the photography. Great quality video.

Some great shots and footage. Just goes to show that any brand of decent camera and lens can yield amazing results in the right hands. Good to see you out and about, I hope your health and recovery are progressing well. Cheers, Robert. 😊

Fantastic video. Felt like I was there! I was surprised by how close the birds came to you when lying down. The images were so clean and vivid!

So good to see you out there and enjoy. I love the video en pictures of the three of you, so amazing!

[ppww]

The thing that gets me is that some of the birds you photograph, I get to photograph here in New Zealand, 8000kms or more away. They are so amazing.

[slickrocklabs]

Good work. Love the footage and shot details.

[ScottRitchie-bwls]

Lovely video and images of shorebirds. We get non-breeding in Cairns Australia, with only a hint of colour. Its eye dropping to see the colour your getting! The dreary weather makes the rusty reds stand out even more.

[deegreen]

Loved that video, so lucky to have that wonderful landscape and wildlife on your doorstep 👏

[deanherschede]

Great seeing you out there. Hope you are improving.

[kevinoneill]

Always a pleasure watching your videos

[rogersedgbeer]

Great video guys, thank you for sharing it with us.

[masterhall]

You guys are doing great, keep it up! Thanks for the beautiful shots.

[phillipkeath]

Great footage, great images, and great to see you getting back out.

[stephenthompson]

You certainly get the bird! Great photography again. Hope you stayed dry . Your opening shot of the Whimbrel puts mine to shame, I was held back by a river and barbed wire fence! such is life and it’s what keeps us going out.

[kaywayneflor]

Great combination of music and footage, very nice work!
