    Although there are many natural challenges such as ticks, it is worth it because you can photograph various species of birds by the river. What beautiful photos you have produced. Thank you for sharing with us. Big LIKE from me. I am a new friend from Singapore. Happy birding.👍🔔

    Great video Darren! Love your approach, inspiring me to get out and try some of your tips. Enjoyed the music as well, nicely edited in between b-roll and on camera clips. Congrats on the kingfisher and that 5 hour wait for the dipper was well worth it! Brilliant!

    Hi Darren, I know I am recently bereaved and my head is elsewhere, but have I missed couple of seasons this year! Not a wildlife photographer, not got your patience by a long chalk. The bird at the end of the video made me "titter" what a lovely little bottom dancing jive it was performing. Great video and the images were edited to perfection as they matched the video edit well too. Happy New Year to you and the family.

I hope we will see more of you in 2023.

    Your patience was well rewarded. I've been where I am for the past 18 years and only got to see kingfishers last year. I think because the river was low and the trout parr were all congregating. You'd think with that iridescent colour you'd spot them all the time.
    Nice to see you out and about again; hopefully a bit more now you've settled into your new job. You could always turn your hand to street photography ... or train spotting 😁

    I know you have not stopped photography but its nice to see you back out with the video camera. I used to use what3words and similar to mark locations but like you found the mobile signal in many locations is not great, i got myself a Garmin GPS unit for exactly this reason, i can navigate to a car park in the car and then it will gude me on foot to the exact location i have marked its accurate to around 10ft most of the time, would not be without one now. I admire your patience and it certainly paid off, im no wildlife photographer at all but the kingfisher shots were beautiful , such a colourful bird. Enjoyed that, all the best and best wishes for the New Year, take care !

    It's good to see you back. Your video reminded me of my attempts to photograph a kingfisher last year. I spent ages going to different places and I found a perfect spot just like yours. There was a fallen tree in the middle of the river and I sat there waiting for a kingfisher. When I was checking settings on my camera one landed on the tree and I couldn't move because it would have flown off. Later in the year I went to another location and as soon as I got there I saw a kingfisher catch a fish and land on a nearby branch. I stayed there all morning watching it feed. It was the best time ever. I only wish I had the longer lens though. I have the 100-400GM. All the best for the new year!
