Very nice video and still images. It has given me some good ideas about photographing our local buzzards which are very difficult to get close to on foot. Am I right in thinking you are using a micro four thirds camera?
I used the Panasonic Lumix G system cameras - and in this video I think I was using the GH4 at the time with the 100-400mm f4.0-6.3. Today I am shooting with the G9 and GH5. And now the S1R (which is the full frame camera, but not yet for wildlife).
Great video
Thanks for the video. Here on de veluwe in holland we have a lot of buzzards so i am inspired to put my 600mm. to work!
Enjoyed, would call those birds hawks, in USA. Nice images!
Another great video and advice, I have been out scouting in my car ,and came across an Osprey nest , just can't get close to it as it is on a cliff face, but I'm working on it ,I"m in South West Norway , and since I watched your other video it has inspired me to get out more and explore the landscape looking for photo opportunities . Thanks .
Nice work Jon, you have lots of Lumix gear there, like me! I have the G80 and am about to get the FZ330, mainly for the 4K video too.
Thanks Steve! Glad you are on the Lumix program :-) For me the products Panasonic are now launching are making wildlife photography much more accessible in terms of price point.
Great video! Thanks Jon :)
Thanks Jan!

Interesting, I'm also interested in such photography but currently my longest lens is 200 mm on a full frame body. I see your also not too far away, I'm a Brit living in Germany :)
200mm would be a push for this sort of sighting. A dedicated bird hide, might get you closer. But I would say for a full frame body you'd need at least 300mm with a 2x teleconverter to do it justice. With the micro 4/3 system the 100-400 lens is full frame equivalent of 200-800, which is a real advantage. Being based in Germany - I know understand your IG feed! I am often driving on the 4 towards Cologne.
Ye, my IG feed is a little boring, not much around this area. Tommorow i.e 28th Jan I'm off to the Brochen, Harz Mountains for a walk!
I actually think that is a great problem to have. As I learnt getting more into Landscapes in Benelux...you have to make the most of what you have, and the challenge is always to create an image that's compelling. There are some very talented Benelux landscape photographers - which always surprise me as I live in a very flat and often featureless landscape. When you know where to go and look, it all changes!!! Have a great trip!
Yep you're right and often I don't go further than 10 km from my home, so it's experience trying to find an image but challenging at the same time. I'll be sure to share some photos on IG! Thx
Looks like Hawks, our vultures are black.
Nice video! I prefer this kind of wildlife photos over bird of prey hides. Photos from bird of prey hides tend to look very stale and non wildlifeish in my opinion.
Hi Frederik, for sure a bird of prey truly in the wild is quiet a spectacle. I am not against bird hides...some are done very well and I use a couple in the north of Belgium which are located in isolated forests so very wild indeed. But nature reserves and bird parks, I agree, it can be a challenge to make the images have a wild look and feel, as these parks tend to be well landscaped by humans!
Jon Bryant Of course im not against bird hides. Images just tend to get a specific look, which I dont prefer. And alot of photographers even include dead animals (put there on purpose, not killed by the bird).
Anyway, great video once again. Oh and your hide videos show images full of life so it wasn`t directed to your images if you thought that. :)
Agree Frederik. And the issue on baiting especially for birds of prey is a contentious one. No I didn't take your comment that way, no offence taken :-))) - Thanks for your comments and watching!
