Podiceps cristatus in latin. Photographed it a long time ago and quite common in Romania where I live

Been in rough phases of life lately; suffered from severe anxiety and depression. However, seeing your videos makes me calm and divert my attention from the adversities I've been experiencing. Thank you morten, your videos have helped me a lot.

What a great way to photograph birds. I usually have to lay on the dock to get images like that.

Yes it is such a great tool. I’m going to use it much more.

The word you are looking for at 2:00 is most likely 'peat'. The peat was dug up from the ground of the mire leaving large holes where water settled. Peat was used as an energy source when dried. And I love your videos! I come back to them over and over again. Thank you!

Dear Morten, thank you for bringing us these beautiful moments that you create in the nature. You make it look so smooth, simple and easy. I'm sure that it takes a lot of effort, time, and resources. More power to you. Keep doing great. Loved the floating hide, defender and the whole camping set up. Pictures of crested grebe and other birds were great, as always. Coffee, camera and camouflage always pay. Love your work and dedication. Keep bringing us these special moments of yours in nature. ❤️ 🐦 📸

Thanks😊 yes it is so much fun. It it not cold as long as the water is not too cold. I wear wool underwear underneath the Drysuit

Stunning photograph's Morten and Simon. The English name is Crested Grebe's, their mating dance is something spectacular to watch and photograph if you ever get a chance.

Just another great video…. Thank you Morten…. 👏👍

A nice video with a cozy vibe ! You sould come in Romania in Danube Delta to make some nice video here with lots of amazing birds ! Will be an amazing video 🤩

Some lovely photos of one of my favourite birds - the Great Crested Grebe.

its called Peat in English the fuel that was dug up to make those lakes.

Nice to see the great crested grebe, beautiful birds.Looks like you both had a lot of fun in the dancing floating hides :). Thanks for sharing this with us

So Morten and Simon what did you guys drink in those fancy flasks? It was funny and interesting how you greet one another in that. Nice video always enjoy the series. Cheers.

509k subscibers now, thats wonderful. Congrats. Being with you sincer you had 25k subscribers. See you at 1M milestone subscribers! Good luck.

*Great Crested Grebe* :) PS I absolutely love the perspective given in the images! :)

I was thinking about a presentation idea, like when you show the final pictures of the bird you can add their sound/calling in background. Of course you won't be able to capture sound of every animal, but if possible then it would increase the immersion of the photos!👍

A wonderful video! The birds that you photographed are called a great-crested Grebe; I'm lucky to see them frequently along the river not far from my house and love to photograph them when I can 😊

Brilliant. What a awesome camp set up. UK they are Great crested grebe.

Doesn’t much more serious than this. The entire setup is just ridiculous, from the 4x4 and camping to the floating huts. Just mind blowing.

I like your videos a lot. I am a bird watcher and wildlife photographer from Guatemala🇬🇹🇬🇹🦎🪶. Regards 

Fantastic duo. You both also had a lot of the same clothes on. Here in The Netherlands we call that a "ANWB stel". That is the Automobile Assosiation in The Netherlands and they sell also clothes. And if we see a couple or friends with perfect matching pair of clothing...well that is an ANWB stel. So Danes, lookout for some Dutchies , you will recognize them :)

today I watched the footage of you and Simon visiting Poland and photographing birds from a temporary lookout. I was wondering when I would see the new movie again - I must admit that I am excited and I will be happy to see where your adventure took place this time.

That Land Rover though, wow! Great video Morten!

Greatimages! i've been thinking about just getting a small pump-up rowing boat for something like this. Llately i've been taking a little photography break because i just didn't enjoy the post-production thing and just took too long for me to go through the pictures etc. Mostly due to the high loading time of each picture when quickly making multiple runs of rating them (similar to the process you once explained in a video). But this also gave me some time to think about my photography habits. There are multiple things i want to change: - I take too many pictures that are not very different from each other. If the lighting or the position or the settings don't change, there is no need to take 4-5 photos. - I too often take a picture before checking if the settings are right for the given lighting. Also by now mostly used fully manual mode, so i need to get to know my camera (D850) and the different modes better. - Get down and dirty...^^ I too often end up with a semi-good picture because i only kneel down instead of actually laying down and getting more foreground and a less top-down view of the animal.

I know the feeling of not looking forward to going through thousands of photos. I’ll say though that I’ve become much faster and selecting the best out of 2000 only takes me an hour or so.

Became my favorite channel on KZread. Magnificent videos full of serenity, friendship, in landscapes that make me dream. Thank you for these sharings which make feel good.

I love Dinglish. I'm off to find a tea letter so I can have a warm drink (if you don't speak Danish, this will likely make zero sense). In any case, love to see use of that floating blind. I've thought about it but just don't have the guts to put my gear that close to the water. Those low angle results are second to none though so it just might be a matter of time. Love that grebe.

Great Defender

Awesome video, the diving bird was a "Great Crested Grebe" look forward to the next video.

Good to see you and Simon out and about, enjoying the feathery wildlife. Nice photos🙂

Dear Morten, Thank you so much, Your beautiful works have been accompanying me during my study. from the beginning of the pandemic until I finished it yesterday. I always come back to your videos when I need to refresh during my studies. Again, thank you a lot, and keep your beautiful works coming in the future. My best regards to you.

That was fantastic guys, you sure are living the dream!

Could hear a Chiffchaff and a Cuckoo in the background too. Marvelous.

Wow, your video was an amazing adventure for me ... I can only imagine what it was like for you.😀

Great material Morten. Very inspirational. Funny to hear the word "tørv". In Dutch it is "turf". Did the Danish also use their tørv to fire up the stoves? We got lots of those tørv-lakes in the Northen part of The Netherlands.

Yes that's "great crested grebe" .. It is also found in India. Hopefully u will come to India 🇮🇳 one day. Here you can have great pictures of the bio diversity, different types of Birds and animals. Hope to see u soon in India. All the best Hilmer.. 👍

Podiceps cristatus So beautiful bird

great spirited video, as usual, I am envious about the Defender! :)

Great stuff, Morten. It would be interesting to see how your photos differed from Simon's interpretation of the same scene. It's interesting how we each interpret a subject in our own way.

Wauw en fantastisk video! Og hvor er det hyggeligt at se jer nyde den danske natur.

Thank you very much Morten, I really like your videos. They reflect your personality - „hygge“ as the Danes say. I like that nature, coziness and humanity are the focus of your videos. This always shows me which true values ultimately make a good photo. Thank you very much for your video! 😊

Super, another new lovely film that will make me bankrupt of buying new things 🙂

Lovely video as though going live experience. Amazing image's too.

Go back and see the Grebes when mating and nest building. They go upright on the water, do neck mating dance, play with weeds, scoot across the water upright at high speed, dive for fish, and the chicks are striped and ride on the backs of the parents. Fascinating bird to find for return trips. Great fun

My favourite KZread channel! Keep it up please! 🙏

super nice video whit the flooting photo cabins

I absolutely love the floating blind and the small ground gimbal you use to get low without making noise or impact. Great ideas

It’s always a pleasure to join you on your photo adventures. Thank you

hi Morten ......the best of 2023 All the best to you and warm greetings from Germany.

There is so much beauty and peace emanate from your pictures. Thank You!

Nice video!! In Argentina, in summer, we always use this "hidro hide". We take a loot of good images! Saludos!

You are an artist Morten, a genuine, pure, artist.

Beautiful - I've never seen a floating hide before. What a great way to be able to get into the water and be closer to the birds on the lakes. Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed that little bird photography adventure.

What a nice setup! Beautiful photos as usual and breathtaking views of nature.

Beautiful as always. I love your style of video

That was just so cool! I loved watching the floating blind. Thanks for sharing and stretching what can be done

The dedication and passion for your work is amazing. Thank you for this amazing photos

Hello Morten and Simon, what a wonderful video. Two guys follow their passion and take great photos out in the wild 👍. I hope to see more of this trip. Thank you for sharing this video. Best regards from Germany.

I think this bird you mentioned and showed us in your wonderful pictures is a „great crested grebe“, in German called „Haubentaucher“.

Fantastic, thank you. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍📷😎

Epic! Reminds me of Das Boot ! Thanks.

Nice moment, of peace and tranquility. English word for "Tørv" is "Peat".

Thank you so much for taking us on this trip, Morten! If I see that you uploaded a new video, I just lean back and enjoy a couple of minutes of nature and calm. You're inspiring me every single time and you make me instant to go out for my self, take nice photos and shoot another KZread video. Unfortunately I have not the opportunity to use a floating hide as we have not really a suitable lake around here. But tomorrow morning I'm sitting in my photo blind and hopefully take some shots of deer and hares. KZread video will come about this trip soon. Thanks again for this inspiration and amazing video. Greetings from Germany See you out there!

Awesome video ! Entertaining, inspiring an heartwarming to see how close you got to the living space of the birds. Sunday afternoon relax therapy. I enjoyed the video A LOT !!

Looked liked a perfect trip and those golden photos at end are gorgeous. Couldn't even pick a favourite! Pleasure to watch as usual Morten.

That looks great fun… The bird on the lake is a Great Crested Grebe in English. 👍🇬🇧

Very cool adventure and great photos. Now it would be nice to test that equipment in tropical waters, like some oxbow lakes in the Amazonas rainforests or similar. Cheers.

Glad to see you sir❤..

Your work is really inspiring, and at the same time induces jealousy that we won't be ever able to do something like you guys did in this video and are always doing. Keep inspiring. Cheers

Yea you are back with a new video was waiting for you ❤ always love to see your content its beautiful and your images are awesome 🤩 I always learn something from your videos and also try to capture some amazing photos too❤

These videos are the most relaxing I've ever seen. Thank you Morten. Can I go with you to one of these trips please? 🙂 I would in a heart beat. WOW

This is so nice. I love the calm energy that you set forward to create a sacred space. It really does help others that you have a passion to share this. I feel refreshed to see the community and adventure when recuperating from my last adventure or getting ready for the next. Well done!

Nice one Morten and Simon. What a great set-up with those little hides.

Perfect video to relax and watch. thanks morten!

Nice expedition Hilmler.. wish you a fantastic experience through your photographic journey. I have watched your videos with much interest being a photographer myself from India and may I say that it would be even better if you show some more birds you have captured through your camera and the lens. Good day brother.

Great small adventure😊 More of them please ❤

Great 😍
