Kingfisher - Speed and Resolution

- Quietscapes - finding the peace and quiet in any landscape. Just enjoying being out in nature. Photography is the excuse, not the focus.
The stunning Common Kingfisher. Vibrant. Radiant. Effervescent. This is probably the most colourful bird that is native to the British Isles. Actually being not all that common, a minority of people will have seen one at some point in their lives. A flash of vibrant colour, the chirping call is all you are likely to have seen. What was that? A kingfisher? Those that have seen one are unlikely to have seen them perched, or in as much detail as we were able to capture at the Wildlife Photography Hides location (www.wildlife-photography-hides.co.uk). The artificial pond here is baited to encourage the wild birds to visit regularly. For any photographers or bird watchers that are in any way time limited this is simply the best way to get almost guarantied results.
The hides here are simply superb and are run with conservation in mind. The kingfisher hide sits adjacent to a stream, their natural habitat. The birds are therefore not dependent on the hides for their food source. Also, the message is clear to not disturb the birds during the day. Arriving at dawn and leaving at dusk and remaining in the hide as much as possible.
The hide itself is excellent, featuring comfortable seating, heating and a toilet. The camera shelves are at water level, affording brilliant views of the diving Kingfisher and other birds in the area, such as the Egret that you see in the photos below.
We spent a brilliant day at the hide, capturing some amazing video and photographs that show these amazing birds in stunning resolution.

De sublimes images de ce Martin-pêcheur et de cette Aigrette garzette 😍😍
Thankyou! Really enjoyed capturing the images,hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for leaving us a comment!
One of the bird I loved most due to their dynamic colours.
I have also started photography couple of months back.
Great experience and peace.
Yes, they're amazing. Thanks for leaving us a comment. Enjoy your photography, it's a brilliant hobby
Safe to say, these would be very difficult to capture in a non controlled setting. Beautiful bird, beautiful images, but it feels a little too much like fish in a barrel doesn't it?
Hi Nick! Absolutely, 100% agree. Almost impossible to do get these shots without it being a hide. Huge admiration for those photographers who have the time to invest in that. I work full time and Boy Wonder is at Uni so we have to make the most of our time. Plus, controlled or not, it's amazing to interact with these birds.
P.s. Huge fan of yours so went a bit giggly when I saw it was you!
@@QuietScapes Thanks for the kind words, I have been dabbling in Wildlife, and it is so incredibly difficult to find those interactions unless you have just tons and tons of time so i totally get it.
Wildlife in the UK is particularly difficult as we sadly don't have the abundance and variety these days. We get excited over Red Squirrels!
Looking forward to seeing the results of your efforts!
@@NickPagethe hard work is in the scouting. But if you find them in s suitable location they can become relatively predictable. They will almost always land on and try a new perch if you put one out where there aren't many occurring naturally. That said I've come home empty handed more times than not. Using paid hides are a great way to get the exact shots you want and I never get bored of being so close to these birds but in my experience it's never quite as satisfying as finding and photographing ones you've scouted and found for yourself
Really beautiful shots of both the kingfisher and the egret. Some of the best kingfisher shots I have ever seen. Very envious of your experience. Absolutely great video.
Thank you so much for leaving us a comment. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video
I am so glad that we found your channel. My husband and I look forward to sitting down with a nice cup of tea to watch your wonderfully calm and relaxing videos, wishing we were out there with you. Thank you.
Ahn brilliant, thankyou! More to come in 2024 once we get passed this terrible spell of bad weather!
wow this is just amazing and the music is just dramatic phwoar
Thankyou!
Stunning,, great job!
Thank you!
One of the most amazing and beautiful videos of kingfishers and egrets I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning 😍
Hoping to do more wildlife in 2024 if time allows!
@QuietScapes looking forward to seeing more videos from you
Magnifique 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Merci!
Just amazing
Thankyou!
Great video and fantastic photos you got. Kingfishers are always amazing to see and photograph. I loved your work!
Thank you!
Fantastic!
Thankyou!
Some fantastic footage of a beautiful male, reminds me of my bird photography days 14 years ago , spending as much as 14 hours in a hide and coming away with nothing. That’s nature / wildlife / photography for you ,these days I have gone full circle and enjoy street photography, mainly because I’m getting old and carrying a canon 500mm f/4 became hard work on my back, keep up with the great videos, liked and subscribed.
Just had essentially the same conversation with someone. Would love to do more wildlife but working full time means having to sacrifice the time investment that wildlife takes. Hoping to do more in 2024 though. And regarding the weight... it's horrific at times. I've recently been through the process of spending a lot of money downsizing my gear and trying to reduce the weight of my bag. Also having to become stricter with myself as to lenses go into the bag.
This is so soothing to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
I likes this video. Thanks for sharing.😍
Thank you!
Very nice. In fact, fantastic. Great sound too. 😊
Glad you liked it! Cheers for leaving us a comment
Love the images, and the video edit. A harder capture than landscape that doesnt move at all!

Beautiful pictures and video collection
Thankyou for taking the time to drop us a comment, much appreciated
Those little guys are hard to get good pictures of. Well done.
Thanks! Being in a hide helped massively. Helps us maximise our time and opportunities, and gave unique perspectives that just aren't available to get without being in a hide at water level
Génial ta vidéo 🎩
Thank you for saying so!
Beautiful
Me? Oh, the Kingfisher! Thankyou for watching

Amazing
Thankyou!
Beautiful video, great photography excellent video and video editing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, glad you liked!
Nice work !
Cheers!
Nice shots and video, congrats! One question: did you use dead fish to attract the birds? It seems they don’t have head or tail.
Thankyou. It was a baited hide with a mixture of dead and live fish. The hide is next to a fresh water stream where the Kingfisher usually hunts as well, but the stream was in flood meaning that a live food supply was hard to catch for the owner of the hide, and the kingfisher!
@@QuietScapes Thank you. I didn’t know kingfishers also ‘hunt’ dead fishes, good trick!
Beautiful work!! Loved it! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us who don't have the time, equipment or skill to capture these images.
Thankyou for the feedback, very much appreciated. We have another bird video coming very soon, be sure to subscribe
😍😍😍
Thankyou!
Really nice video having been to Toms place a few times, just not into the music you choose to go with film
Thanks for the feedback. Choosing music is actually one of the hardest elements of putting this sort of thing together. Lots of other folks liked it, but appreciate it's not going to please everyone. Glad you liked the video though
wonderful shots, Im quite jeleus about some frames ;) altho I'd record it in 4k/120 for slowmo, my next camera definitely must have this option
Glad you liked it! We shoot our videos mainly with the A7IV and the A7RV so unfortunately they are limited at only 4k 60fps. But I completely agree with you, 120fps would have been amazing for this!
Nice stills and footage. What was the SS and Aperture?
Hi, glad you liked it. We will have used many shutter speeds and apertures throughout the day depending on what we were trying to achieve and the light conditions
0:46 ... it looks like so much fun :-|
Have to put the time in to get the shots. To be fair there wasn’t much time between the bird visits
Beautifully presented and excellent footage. I've been their several times, its a fantastic place.
Certainly is! And thank you for your kind words!
Das Video gefällt mir richtig gut 👍. Die Aufnahmen von Eisvogel sind wunderschön und die Musik die du ausgewählt hast passen sehr gut zu den gezeigten Bildern. Mit welchen Objektiv wurden die Aufnahme gemacht? Beste Grüße, Thomas ☀️
Hi, thanks for leaving us a comment. The photos were taken on a mixture of lenses and cameras. I used a combination of a Sony A9 and Sony A7rV with the Sony 70-200mm f2.8gm,sometimes with a 2x teleconverter, and a Sigma 500mm f4. The images with the "cleanest" background will be the Sigma 500mm
The photos are all on our website if you want a closer look. The link is in the description
What camera / lens setup ? Thanks
Hi, Sony A7rV, Sony A9, Sony A7 IV, with combination of sigma 500mm f4, Sony pz28-135 and Sony 70-200mm. Lots involved with getting multiple shots. The last shot in the video was filmed on 3 cameras at once
Precioso video, la música maravillosa... muchas gracias por compartir.
Lovely images, not a fan of set up hides,perfer to find the birds in the wild
Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. It's case of needs must I'm afraid. I work full time and my son is at Uni so currently we have to maximize opportunity. Plus we simply wouldn't be able to get these sorts of shots with wild birds as we don't have the portable hides etc needed.
@@QuietScapes Yup I have 3 kids at Uni,and had to give up work to look after my disabled Wife, spend all my free time luckly on my local river 5 minutes from my house looking and photographing Kingfishers. Life gets in the way quite a bit. Keep up the good work
Yep, it sure does! Have you got a link to any of your shots?
Very nice, how many fps are you shooting for the kingfisher stills?
Hi, thanks for watching! Glad you like the video. We shot this on three cameras, and used a Sony A7rV and Sony A9 for the stills. They will have been at a range of between 7 and 20fps depending on which camera and the scene. Sometimes we wanted speed, sometimes we wanted resolution.
tnx@@QuietScapes
Dommage qu'ils soient appâtés avec des poissons morts
Hi, yes, not ideal. The stream next to the site where they usually fish, and their live bait comes from, was in flood, so live fish were in short supply. They were also baited with live fish as well, at least around 50% of the fish they took on the day were live.
stunning video and images just spent a day their took 4000 images, did all the things I "thought" I should have done. SP at 1/6400. auto ISO - F9 Pre Focused on the bowl but not a single image was pin sharp.😢😢😢but this video gives me hope and show it can be done - great work👌
Oh dear, that’s a shame. Have you figured out why? Could it be vibration from lens stabilisation. Another thing could be that it might actually be the image previews in lightroom (or whatever) you are using showing a low resolution version.
