Hello Morten! Thanks to you, I have left my old job and started working in protecting an endemic bird species in my island! Next goal is to save money to travel around the world and see and photograph birds and other animals :) Thank you for inspiring me!

A Morten Hilmer notification is a very fast click!!

Title can be anything,but coffee is Constant!!!!! 😀😀😀

the sound of reain falling is awesome

I love these shorter "more basic" videos when you're just not in the mood for crazy expeditions, seeing a forest early in the morning hits home for me. Great video!

Hello from France. I really like all your videos : Nice image and à true respect for nature and wildlife. I Hope you will make a new calendar for 2023 and I wish you the best.

The sound of rain on the blind was wonderful.

already loving this channel 🙏🏼💓 such a zen morning ☕️📷

I also love to sit in my garden and do photos of the birds

You have best studio set-up in the world, Nature!

That was so relaxed Morten. A perfect day watching & photographing wildlife, just wonderful.

Wonderful, I have been looking forward to this. It would have been funny if when your phone buzzed it was Gitte telling you the badgers had licked and smeared your live camera again 😉

Just when I think I won't be watching you anymore, you put out another video and you pull me right back in! Thank you Morten. You warm the spirit and put a smile on my face. Coral (Canada)

So good! Well done 👍 With the Z9, video is as good as photos! Just amazing.

Thanks for sharing this!

Another stunning video Morten, very tranquil morning you had the honour of witnessing

I could watch you all day Morten 🙏🏻 📸 thank you

Lovely to see what you've been up to in the hide. Great results from both video and stills. Loved the opening sequence with the Pheasant in the tree. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Morten! Thank you for sharing, 🥰🥰🥰 beautiful photos

this bird is very beautiful

Such a lovely way to start the day. Thank you for sharing some of the experience.

Thank you. Love sitting in my little hide watching and listening to the day begin, all the chatter between the birds. Fantastic. Stay well and safe travels. All the very best. 👍📷😎

Old Morten with coffee comeback :)

Thank you for this lovely pictures. I especially liked the ones with birds on the log. My next subjects are the male kestrel sitting on top of the church tower in the evening light and the young wood pigeons and magpies exploring the rooftops, planned to use in a lecture and booklet about urban birdlife. So very different environment compared to your lush green meadow and woods.

😮What a beautiful life. 💚🐾

Super vidéo l'ami Morten Hilmer, merci de nous faire partager ton environnement, les images sont magnifiques et l'ambiance est agréable même sous la pluie, à bientôt l'ami dans une autre aventure photographique, et je tenais à te remercier pour le bon travail effectué sur la faune animalière dans tes voyages expérimentaux dans des régions sauvages et glaciales, merci pour les tests de matériels d'appareils (Nikon, et canon,) je regarde tes vidéo depuis un bon moment elles sont superbement bien tournées c'est un plaisir de les visionner, à bientôt l'ami, je t'envoi un petit bonjour de France.... 👍

Very cool. Thank you for posting. A productive morning out there, for sure!

Great work as always. Look forward to your videos as it motivates me more to begin my photography journey again. Thank you friend

Buongiorno, mi piace tantissimo come spieghi la metodologia che solo i grandi profesionisti sanno fare. Per prima cosa la pazienza e aspettare il momento giusto. Sicuramente ti seguirò.

A video in the photoblind, one of my favourite kinds of video 😀The sound of the rain was such a mood. Nice to see the video from when I could hear you talking in the blind. I was hoping you were getting some nice photos and recordings and you did!

MortenHilmer, thank you. It was interesting.

It is unsurprising that I follow your videos. I love the simplicity of your language, videos and the way you are in life. You are one of the professional photographers who gave me the necessary strength to start a dream that has been postponed for decades. However, I still fight against some basic technical challenges like the one I could see in your video: pre-focus (the first red rectangle that appears) and then Focus in the eye of the target. I suppose you have two back buttons assigned for each of these functions. I am a Canon shooter (R5). Any help/suggestion? Please?😇 (maybe a short tutorial?) Thank you very much and continues the excellent work inspiring thousands of human beings across the globe.

Love your work 😃 I just started out with wildlife photography. And I can learn allot of your videos. Here in Sweden we have so much nice nature and animals to document. Maybe you are in the area in the future, I would love to learn from you. LG Alex the Foxx

Hey morten:) Good to see you again 🥰🥹🤗

Some of your best work is right at home. Just like Monet,

Fantastic .Early morning is the best time and rain is an added bonus .Oh I enjoyed so much .I see you are a Nikon specialist ..Do I need such a person at this moment .I've just bought a P950..Ok not professional but rather heavy and having tried other options , dropping a lens is no joke .Previously used Panasonic but am impressed with videos I've seen using the p950 and the p1000...Zoom is fine but when birds are near the results are poor .Early morning is my time as there are no people about ..just wildlife ..Magical .. This was akin to viewing paradise -I must keep doing so much each day and in a few weeks it will click :) Thank you Morten and greetings from Berlin .

Hello Morten, I am currently using a d7200 with 200-500 mm and I exclusively do bird photography. Recently I have made a decision to buy a Nikon mirrorless but I am in a bit of a dilemma about the z6ii. Please could you give me some advice on what I should do or which one to buy which will be suitable for bird photography.
