That bird at around 5 minutes in is most likely a Common ringed plover - Charadrius hiaticula. I also see someone else suggesting Merlin BirdID on the phone and I agree and recommend it wildly. You can even go out and about and have it record the bird sounds and it will suggest - with great accuracy - exactly which bird it is. You will be amazed at how good it is at pinpointing species!
And if I've had watched a minute more before writing I would have known you ID'd it and knew about Merlin. Oh, well, rather once too many than once too little
I love the merlin app, I use it loads just to see what birds are around me 👍
Very enjoyable,many thanks
Glad you enjoyed watching 😁
Even though you have a great telephoto / zoom lense, try to get closer to your animals or let nature takes it course until it is closer to you, so you can take a better shot 📸📹
Will do 👍
Muy buena elección si finalmente compras el sony 200-600mm, es algo más pesado que la configuración que llevas pero la calidad y el acercamiento que vas a tener merece la pena. Yo lo tengo con la A9 y también hago vuelos a pulso siempre que puedo. Buen objetivo, buena calidad y te ahorras un poco el gimnasio,
💪💪💪 it is at the top of the list, hoping by the end of the year I will be able to purchase one 👍
Great stuff Jo and some nice images. Although you mentioned the weight issue with a 600 do think you’ll find it will improve your images. Unless you’re doing birds in flight shots a monopod would be a help. 😀👍
It is on the shopping list 👍
Another enjoyable video.. for bird ID I use first of all my iPhone, secondly Merlin Bird ID, but lthe app which is even more accurate is an app called Picture Bird.. It is even more accurate than the former two.. usually when I use it, it's after I've taken a photo of the bird and am back in my studio and putting the photo of the bird on my big screen on desktop computer...btw, your camera and lens have great image stabilization when you take video
Ooo I shall have a look at that app 👍
Hi, Nice video, as always! Just wanted to let you know, that I don't think one can hold the 200-600 mm plus camera up with 1 hand like that for long. It is way to heavy and I think one will be shaking with fatigue quickly. Or maybe it is just me and I need to go the gym 😅 You gonna wanna take an extra light camera for vlogging with you then and that will bring some more extra weight with it. And you do have to carry it all around with you on your hikes. But the quality of that 200-600mm lens is great. I always use it with the 1.4 for the 840mm and crop some more after. I love it but I really wish it was much lighter. Maybe you can rent one to see?
I rented one at the beginning of the year on my photo holiday in the Cairngorms and it was brilliant, but super heavy 😂 deffo going to need to do some weights for that one 😂😂😂 i have been quietly hoping that with all the version 2 lenses Sony has been bringing out an updated 200-600 would appear but I am not sure if they ever will, still fingers crossed for a lighter weight one 🤞
@@JoHeard I am hoping for that too! That would be brilliant. It must have better video stabilisation, right now is just mah 🫤. I would switch brands if one combo would be lighter and even better and around the same prices.
Hi Jo, what are you using to attach your camera to your body whilst walking please? It looks much more comfortable than a cross body strap!
It's the Peak Designs Capture Clip amzn.to/3QjDAe2 it is brilliant as the camera doesn't flop around when you are walking like they do on straps. The only thing to keep in mind is that, if you are using a mahoosive lens like the Sony 200-600 then it is probably isn't the right tool as if you want the weight off the camera mount and fit the plate to the tripod foot, then it does stick out and flap around. Hope that makes sense....
@@JoHeard yes that does, thank you 😊
Hey Jo! Brilliant Video. So Happy RUclips recommended this one! Keep going my friend! 2k subs in no time!
Thanks so much!! 😊
@@JoHeard Anytime my fellow traveler!
Nice work. Really enjoyed these views. I do like the 200-600, but it is heavy (as you know). Your setup is quite nice. Had I chance for a do over, I think I’d go your route.
Thank you 😊 I have found that in photography, everything is a compromise 😂 I did really enjoy using the 200-600 but it is soooooo heavy, I keep flip flopping between wanting the 200-600 and saving my back, but the 600 mm would make a lot of difference for me...or I could get the A6700 😂
@@JoHeard I love my a6700. It is a powerhouse
If you get the right kind of strap the 200 - 600 is perfectly manageable. And it's not that much heavier than what you're using now. Mine hangs in the small of my back just nice when I'm walking around. And it works for the much heavier lenses that I own as well.
I love this video its nice and relaxing.. thank you for the video❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Excellent video Jo 👏🏻brilliant photos 👍📸big fan of your style 😊
Thank you Simeon 😊
Nice video and beautiful pictures.
Thank you so much 😀
Really enjoyed that Jo and thanks for sharing it. Eigg looks amazing and looks like you had the whole place to yourself. 😀
It was an amazing little bay I had to explore and so full of wildlife. I would love to spend more time here and explore further than the bay, but I had a wonderful time on my photo walk with the bay all to myself...and the animals 😂
@@JoHeard 🦘🐿🐫🐘🦉🐔🦏😅😅
Lovely scenery and wildlife thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Another lovely video Jo, looking forward to the next one! (Hopefully your leg is a little less bruised by then😥)
Thank you 😊 it took a good couple weeks for the bruises to go! Thankfully it wasn't too painful after the first 5 days ... 😂
A lovely video and getting the shots isn't always what it's about even though it can be frustrating at times. Time in nature is a priceless experience and great for your mind and well being. Pleased you didn't hurt yourself to much or break your camera/lens Keep up the good work 😊👍👏
Thank you 😊 I really love being out and about in nature and generally seeing something wild is a bonus, in places like Rona, the views all around are stunning, so there is always something to photograph 😊
Just curious- how did you get that overhead shot at 3:40? Did your partner put a GoPro on a selfie stick?
I use a 360 camera on a selfy stick that I strapped into my tripod/water bottle holder on the bag 👍 A 360 camera is so good for filming when you are on your own
Sorry about your. I hope you didn’t suffer much. Could you tell me what you hat is about. I’ve been following you and each video I keep on looking at it trying to figure it out. Thank you for your videos. 😊
Haha the hat is a free one that my fella got when his Mountain Bike Centre partnered with a protection company to supply them with hire knee pads, helmets, etc. It's from a company called Leatt and is one of the few hats I have found to fit my pea head 😂😂
Well persevered Jo, some decent ‘animal in its environment’ shots there. Hop the leg is ok. Must get up to the western isles!
Thanks Ian 😊 Western Scotland, and well all of Scotland really is absolutely STUNNING, and is definitely worth a visit. 👍
Excellent video Jo 👍big fan of your channel 😊love your style of photography 👏
Thank you so much! 😊
Nice capture. Please do take care, i know how difficult is sometime . I have had same experience as well while photographing Birds.
It was the confidence that I had gotten past the awkward bit and then fell that gets me every time I watch that fall 😂
Lovely video Jo, enjoyed watching !!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Morning Jo very lovely place thar, hopefully your leg is feeling a lot better today. lovely video as all ways mate take care of yourself stay safe mate
Thank you 😊 It took a good week and a half for the bruise to go down, but all good now!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Superb footage Jo really impressed👌 Beautiful little birds😁
Thank you 😊
素晴らしいです。この鳥の名前は日本名でノビタキといいます。私が大好きな鳥です。
Great shots ! Just found your channel, good luck in your wildlife photography journey 👍
Thank you 👍
看你的视频,让我感觉很放松,非常喜欢,我也想尝试去户外拍摄大自然。
Glad you enjoyed watching 😁
Wonderful. I love that excitement too, your photos are beautiful. What a sweet subject, very cute.
Thank you 😊
great shots you got thanks for sharing. can't wait for there return here in Jeddah. some appear early in September but they leave immidialaty. then many come late October and the stay all autumn and winter. then they break my heart when they leave in March 😢
They really are very cute birds, apparently they are all over the UK but this was my first time seeing them 💗
Great stuff Jo, looks like you managed to get some great shots of them, really chuffed for you. Your perseverance paid off. West coast of Scotland defo on my bucket list. 👍
Thanks Ian 😁 west coast Scotland really is amazing, we love it ❤️
wow stunning
Thank you! 😊
Looks like you had an entire family of Stonechats there. The photos came out bloody excellent! 👍 We have far more of the Saxicola rubetra - Whinchat - but on a few locations I can see the Saxicola rubicola - Stonechat - that you have here. Both are equally striking to look at. My initial thought when you started to walk into the higher grasses and ferns was that there have to be loads of ticks, and I hope you have had the seasonal shots against TBE and a set of good tweezers. Lyme disease you can't vaccinate against yet, but it is just as horrible.
It was amazing and they were very obliging with the camera 😂📷 apparently the stonechats are all over the UK but I had never seen one before. Yes we have tick hooks that I take everywhere with me just in case. Thankfully no ticks this time 👍
Awesome so lovely video once again
Thank you 😊
Wonderful photo and video. Thanks for sharing your birding adventure. A big LIKE from Singapore.
Thank you 😊
That's cool! Great images! Thanks for letting me tag along!
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Excellent video and great photos Jo 📸👏🏻☀️
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Mallaig, our favourite place. Normally visit 3 or 4 times a year and stay in cottage at end of circular walk. See White-tailed Eagle most days.
Oh wow amazing! We didn't see any eagles on our whole trip! 😂 I'd definitely like to go back as I'd like to do the walk up to the loch 👍
Morning Jo brilliant video as all ways its nice to see you out again enjoying yourself take care of yourself stay safe mate
Thank you 😊
@@JoHeard your welcome I always enjoy watching your videos
We like the Vedio you make and also photograph birds as well. If you can add Chinese subtitle would be great that my parents can know what you say😊
Buy a yoga mat to sit on it's nice and warm and better than some plastic,you can fold it easy in to tree layers.
Good idea 👍
Currently staying at Center Parks Elveden and have taken pictures of my grand daughter hand feeding Muntjac deer outside our lodge. They are so tame.
Oh wow! Amazing!!!
Really good shots! Took a risk and payed off!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 Really enjoyed it and am happy with my photos 📷
@@JoHeard Best place to be!!
Great effort Jo, can’t have been easy on that dinghy, at 6ft 6 I don’t think I’d have fitted in it!, 😂
😂😂 it would be fun to see though!
@@JoHeard probably not for me though Jo! 😂
Enjoying your walk and positivity on the learning curve Jo. I guess that's wildlife photography 😅. Also have to say... nicely produced video.. The effort you put into it really shows..
Haha it's definitely a waiting game a lot of the time! Glad you enjoyed watching 😁
Really lovely vlog Jo and some lovely shots as well. Cheers for sharing it.............👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
sweet one, thanks for sharing, btw wonder would be possible to snorkel there and do underwater photos or too dark/ ships around/ currents issues?
The water is amazing but blooming freezing! Reckon you could do it though 👍
Nicely done Jo, your certainly getting about for the wildlife..cheers Den
Thanks Den, managed to get out and see quite a lot whilst we were in Scotland. Got a 2 day trip booked in aug with Carl for kingfishers and owls which I am looking forward to 👍😊
