Photographing Birds at RSPB Leighton Moss with my Nikon Z8

Join me as I capture stunning bird photographs at RSPB Leighton Moss using my Nikon Z8. Watch as I showcase the beauty of these birds in their natural habitat! I saw lots of birds including: Bittern, Lapwing, Grey Heron, Marsh Harrier, Reed warbler and many more. I photographed many birds in flight too.
Hope you enjoy this video and your photography

Hi Darrell Great shot of the Bittern. The Reed Warbler was nice to see as well. The hides look very comfortable to sit in. Thanks Jon and Sandra

It is a great place I may re-visit later in the year to see if I can photograph the bearded tits again.

Great shots of birds in flight.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Many thanks!

[@SkylarkFields]

Well done on getting the bittern!

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Thanks. It was an enjoyable visit.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

excellent video Darrell. Many thanks !

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tommoodie-cy7dr]

Glad you saw the Bittern 👍 your Herring Gull is actually a Lesser Black-backed Gull, Herring would have much paler grey mantle 👍

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I did get this comment on my Instagram, but the video was edit edit and uploaded. Thanks anyway.

Can it be a great black backed? The bill looks quite heavy and it was quite a lot of white in the tip of the wings...

[@debbiesmith2332]

Some lovely shots, Darrell. Really enjoyed this video so thanks for sharing it. Hope all is OK with you.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I tend not to use auto ISO I stick with aperture priority. There are occasions I might use it in changeable lighting conditions or if higher shutter speed is required.

Beautiful photos 😊
I thought I recognised your voice earlier today on Kim’s Zoom meet up.
Couldn’t place it then it clicked, RUclips. Subscribed just now 😊

Thanks for subscribing Rod. There are so many facets to photography and you never stop learning. Enjoy your photography.

Thanks for the video, Darrel. Did you think that maybe the 100-400mm was a little on the short side for some of the shots you took ? I am agonising over the choice between that and the 180-600mm for my Z8 and bird photography. I know it is not an S lens but the reviews and price are excellent although the weight is a little much for me, perhaps.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I do agree it is short. The 180-600mm wasn't released when I got the 100-440. I am hoping to get the 180-600 in the near future.

[@frankdart5508]

@@DarrellOakdenPhotography Ah, that makes sense, thank you. I think I will go for the 180-600 then and put up with the extra weight ! Thanks again. Look forward to seeing what you can achieve with the longer lens when you get it !
