    Wow Espen, I envy you sometimes for your great trips. A great hike, nice weather, wild animals to photograph and at the end of a great evening a hamburger with a beer (my wife told me I´m crazy, when I told her of my plan to make a hamburger in the woods earlier this year)...
    Also the video itself is really great work! Thank you for that!

    Hi Espen. Great video thanks. Coming north to near Oban in a couple of weeks and would love to get some good pics in that stunning landscape. If nor Plover then perhaps Otter or Eagles. Thanks again for the inspiration.

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад

      Cool! Worth having a look for golden plovers, but yes there'll be something interesting to photograph :) Birdtrack can be a good place to check for previous years' migration dates.

    Hey Espen, Looks like you had a great day out and fun camping. I give you high marks for being out in so much wind... Wind always rubs me the wrong way.... Spending time with the Plovers was great and you had fantastic light! I haven't camped in forever but I do plan to this year! Sayin' hey.... Greg

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад

    Thanks for sharing! I really liked the story-like rendition with all the aerials, 3rd person views, time lapses etc. and all the small details. And of course the videos and stills of the bird as well. Such a nice scenery and well captured as well! It immediately makes me want to experience something similar.

    • @EspenHelland

    A bit late watching today. I wish I could say it was photography but sad to say yard work. It is beautiful country side and landscape where you are. A great camping day though it looked like it was a bit chilly and you managed to get some really nice shots. Hope you have a great week - stay well and stay safe.

    Thanks Espen, I enjoyed the vlog. I had a couple of day trips to a similar area of the Cairngorms a week ago and photographed both Dunlin and Golden plover. Both still had young but I got the feeling it was nearing the end of their breeding season. The plover’s plaintive call is very much part of summer on Scottish uplands.

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад

      That is awesome! Would love to photograph breeding dunlin one day. Thanks Ron :)

    • @ronmacdonald3043

    Muy buen reportaje de los Dorados Espen, a finales de Agosto los tengo en mi zona costera, Asturias en el norte de España, aunque sin el moteado tan negro pero bien dorados. Un saludo.

  • @Jay19876
    @Jay19876 4 года назад +1

    Golden Plovers can be hard to spot with their call, they always sound much closer than they really are. Another excellent video Espen!

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад

      Yeah, amazing how well they blend into the habitat. Thank you :)

    It's nice to see the Golden Plover with that breeding plumage. When they are in the Philippines they have different plumage.

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад

      Cool, they really do cover a lot of the world for such small birds :)

  • @w0lfyovi294
    @w0lfyovi294 4 года назад +1

    Amazing pictures from that amazing experience and adventure, thank you for sharing. I am curious if the choice of colours on the clothes was intentional to blend with the dark-ish vegetation?

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  4 года назад +1

      Thank you, yes I always wear earthy tones like that when photographing wildlife. Not just specifically for the heath I was on here, helps for most places :)

    @sashaneemoht8764 4 года назад +1

    Of course the Golden Plover followed you back to camp! Did you not hear the calls? True, I never heard the "Es"... but I definitely heard the "pen". And you never even gave it a cuppa coffee... I'm fair disappointed in you, you a naturalist as well, my my! 😹
