I agree, people that should know better, causing disturbance. Including those that decide to talk loudly when walking between hides. Dog walkers on reserves definitely. As a past warden, I have even had loose dogs go for me off of the lead on the reserves. Beautiful black tern photos! Disturbing to see so many birds with affected feet. As for swans I prefer to say 'Hooper' rather than 'Wooper'. But I know people that say 'Wooping cough' rather than 'Hooping'. But we all have our preferences and know exactly what the others mean if we say the opposite. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing what you may encounter and photograph this coming winter!

Absolutely brilliant finish to a great video.❤

Thanks for the review, I'm toying with getting one to replace my Sigma on the R7. I visit Martens Grove regularly and I've not seen a lot of those birds down there 🤣

I just love your bunnies

Please keep the darlings safe from predators

Meanwhile, the Chinese Egrets, Lesser Egrets and Cattle Egrets are plentiful year round along the waterfront areas of the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR.

Hi, you are so lucky 🍀 to be able to see so many Blue Tits and Chaffinches. Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR does NOT have Chaffinches, unfortunately, and we only have either Cinerious Tits and / or Japanese Tits which are endemic and resistants of Hong Kong, as you might remember from your last trip to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR.

Great vlog Justin. Enjoyed watching this one. What groups do you use to find what's about at the moment. Thanks.

Good information, thanks!!

I've just finished the last of your "Rhodes" series of logs. What to say, superb as are most of your videos. Thanks for taking us along. Love the style. Like talking to us as if we're there, great narration, pics and video. That 200-800 sure does give that extra flexibility and quality media. Ok catching up with your other uploads ..

European Roller get over to Cyprus.

Very good, really enjoyed this.

You couldn't afford me lol. Interesting concept and happy to chat anytime but I fear my choice of equipment may be a stumbling block.

Thamesmead duel carriage way In the background?

That was lovely!

Great shot of the Brambling nice video

Great video looking forward to seeing you backlog of films just found on you on RUclips.

What an idiot. You spend the whole video terrifying the poor bird just to make a video of how much of a hero you think you are instead of just helping the bird and put it inside without a box next to a window where it’s just going to brain itself trying to escape from the loud monster

birds commonly shut down when they have a bad impact. usually they revert to a feeding type motion, where they open their beak like when they were babies being fed by their parents. theyre shockingly resilient. as far as im aware its the same with all birds. from hummingbirds to crows

I was scared he’d fly into another window after you released him! My dad kept out front windows very clean and they were big so many birds lost their lives trying to fly through it.

I had to stop cleaning my bifold doors because the birds couldn't see clean glass. If they stay grimy, then the bird strikes stop

Well done to you. I had a similar experience with a pigeon, it knocked itself out and was lying on the decking. We have cats so stayed with it until came round, managed to get it to sit on fence in some safety where it stayed for hours before flying off hopefully no lasting damage. Really enjoy your videos keep them coming.

Where do you report your sightings please?

New to your channel and enjoying your style. Why not use Birdtrack very easy and your data is invaluable.

A very interesting video. I have a few points, one, I think you introduced me to Google Photos and the app I downloaded was called Google Lens. I have used it a few times and found it very useful. Secondly, Rainham often gets over 60 species on a daily basis. Finally you never mention Danson Park. I have had lots of photo opportunities there but not necessarily the Bird count.

Hi, great to know that you and I share the same excitement to be ready and pay attention as to which bird will suddenly appear out of nowhere 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi, you might have heard the saying : “It’s a bird ! It’s a plane ! It’s….SUPERMAN ! “ 🤣😆😁 I get so annoyed when taking videos of birds in the trees or by the beachfront promenade and a loud 747 jumbo jet ✈️ plane flies overhead and scares the birds away. Sometimes it’s noisy helicopters 🚁, too ‘

A great cafe there too just past the geese. a bit trendy but a delicious menu. Ridgeway opposite for Blackcaps, Greenfinch and Butterflies in season. Nice Buzzards.

YT thumbnail captioning told me I might see a 'Yellow Bride Wobbler', I clicked without further thought.

I haven't seen an owl in my lifetime, and I'm 58. I have heard a few.

What did you bring with you to feed the Blue Tit ? That’s super incredible !! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good morning to you from Singapore 🇸🇬. How does this Heron see and catch fish 🐟 underneath all these green lichen …… ?

Not turd at all, from 400-500 it’s only 1/3 stops slower. Plus now I also have 500-800mm zoom left. Throw extender on 100-500mm you get 700mm f10. At 670mm I got f/8.

I nearly unsubscribed for the "light as a feather" joke, but you saved it with the reference from Predator 🤣

Nikon has 800f6.3pf that you can find sub £4k. Glad I jumped the ship. Sad things are happening in the canon world.

Scuffle? Moi?

Sorry but the RF 200-800mm lens is a turd, I"ll stick with the RF 100-500mm.

If can afford it...yes you absolutely DO want it and it is NOT throwing your money away at all. Always getting those extra f stops is not doing the work for you - It is allowing you to do MORE work. "...traveling...extra hassle" - You just finished saying it's not going to do the work for you, but then turn around and give reasons for not having one because it's too much work. lol. "....you've got heat haze, smoke, etc...." well those conditions apply to a 'cheaper' lens just as much. Which means having better gear is that much more important to minimize undesired results. "...zoom...much more success....fixed, miss 95% of your shots" If you can afford that expensive lens you can afford alternative lens for different situations. Missing shots 95% of the time is the result of not being a very good photographer. A good experienced photographer will be able to anticipate what gear to be using 95% of the time beforehand. That means choosing when to use your 18k lens or not, to get your shot most of the time. "...travel often(flying).." If you can fly often enough that there is concern about baggage size, etc.,...you probably can afford that lens too. But don't forget....all my points are based on if you CAN afford it. If one can't afford it, meaning they can buy it but puts financial pressure on themselves, then you're absolutely right. Getting the lesser expensive gear is the way to go because you still will have many opportunities to get great shots.

Man I needed to hear this today. Thank you sir. 🎉

You're right you should buy the 600 F4 and 1.4 TC so you have good low light capabilities and then 840mm F5.6 with teleconverter for extra reach.

You are right rf 800 mm too expensive. Problem of Canon system that , there aren’t any middle price prime lens. Nikon had 800 mm pf lens it’s cost only 6000 USD . It’s lighter than rf 800 , but 1/3 stops slower.

Hi. I am Sheppey born and bred, moving away in 2016. I was a member as soon as the scheme started “ in the old days pre camping etc” . My favourite place, and my special days were just watching the hares from the car. This has bought back such wonderful memories. I have been back since when visiting family and have seen the short eared owls which were never around before.

I got the 100-500 lens, will see how it goes with the teleconverter. Got that lens for 2400 euros. 200-800 is even better with R5ii. Its a great lens!

Great video mate and captures !!! I only started my channel earlier this year and this was one of the places I visited and I was blown away by it!!! Have subscribed to your channel mate and will check out some more of your content!

Totally agree, I use the R6M2 with the RF 200-800, not as fast in focusing as the RF100-500 but it is my go-to lens

Great topic. What are your thoughts on F9 at 800mm in UK conditions? Is is fast enough with a mirrorless full frame camera? The price difference in these lens is reason enough to go for the 200-800 but I'd want to make sure that F9 is usable in those gloomy UK days..

I used to use a Canon IDX mk11 and a Sigma 150-600mm a few years ago and soon began to realise that in my mid 60s that my old body didn’t like it, especially with shoulder/wrist issues, I’m now using an r7 with 100-500mm lens and they’re a perfect combination weight wise and with 800mm equivalent and 32.5 megapixels what’s not to like? I’ve been watching all your videos recently, great content and nice and varied, keep up the great work - Terry 👍

Super video as ever. I shoot with an R3 & R5 MkII. For longer shots I have my trusty EF600 MkII with RF converter. Since picking up my 200-800, the 600 has not been out of its bag. That may change for lower light wildlife (otter) shots in Scotland this Winter, but for now I’m loving the 200-800 and have no issues with f9 @800mm. DxO PureRaw 4 cleans up higher ISO files nicely.

What a fantastic video, transfixed from start to finish. It just shows what urban birding can be like, at least in that location. Superb and informative narration too. I know from Malaysian birding (once a tear trip) that heat and humidity can be very tiring too at 33c or more. As a baldie I can say you have an advantage with that protective thick hair cover haha! Re the 200-800 lens, have you found it difficult to zoom in and out with your fingers having to do 2 or 3 turns while trying to keep tabs on the object at the same time. I also see YT videos saying the R7 is prone to some sensor "shake" solved by switching from mechanical to electronic shutter operation. I guess you're happy with that combination and in fact want this myself. Thanks for taking us birding around H.K. Subbed!

Maby your just covering up your madness 😂
