Great instruction video. Thank you!

Awesome Mike! Love your tips!

I was out motorcycling a country road a week or so ago, and as I slowed to check out a forest creek, a Kingfisher landed on the railing of the bridge, first one I've seen in years. Beautiful! He was gone again as quickly as he registered me, into the dense alder brush along the stream.

Great video Mike, packed with knowledge 👌

Brilliant episode! Thank you!

My favourite birds!! Great capture. I’ve learned a few new details in the process. Thanks for sharing.

Another excellent video.

Fantastic video sir! I'm so happy that I've found your channel.

You are a great teacher Mike. Very interesting to know the Kingfisher is an opportunist.

Fantastic video Mike i love Kingfishers

Great job Mike!

This is great I don't think I have ever seen a kingfisher like the way you did this video and your chat all to the point, must keep looking for them and not look away great advice for many animals

Just came across your channel, Mike. Great info here. Thanks for sharing!

Great knowledge you share with us. Love the video....Thanks for sharing! Well done

The quality of your images is superb Mike as is your incredible knowledge of your bird and animal subjects. It really is incredibly encouraging to see your very straightforward approach to wildlife photography. I was born and raised on a farm in South Wales with a river and many streams running through it. There were kingfishers, herons, snipe woodcock, curlews, lapwings etc. I now live in Wiltshire and we have stone curlews and some other quite exciting and rare birds. I really like your videos Mike and your down to earth, relaxed style of presenting them. Truly excellent!

Thank you so much for this video

Experience talks here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with this enjoyable long-play story!

Thank you for a great tutorial. I am looking forward to trying our this technique.

Some great tips there Mike, nice one 👍🏼📷👀

Thanks, great tips

I love this, this was awesome, I also love photographing wildlife in the UK. I only upload videos on my channel of wildlife which are extremely rare. my recent upload was of a golden eagle I saw in Hinckley, Leicestershire

Great surprise for me! I loved the video and the way you explain the process and details. Very funny sense of humor too. I'm mainly a landscape amateur photographer but very hungry for wildlife photography. I guess I have a lot to learn from you. So congrats for your channel, here you have a new subscriber. Cheers!

Thanks. Great❤️

Your videos are most informative as well as being technically brilliant and really entertaining. Please keep up your great work.

brill tips! thank you!

Great advice ‘ from a man with years of experience ‘ lovely images

Hi Mike. I’m really glad I came across your KZread channel. I would like to Thank you Sir for sharing your valuable Kingfisher experiences and your “ tricks and tips “ in how to photograph these beautiful birds.

Nice one, Mike. Thank you. 👍🏻

Spectacular shots. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Some great tips as usual. Hadn't thought about setting up a new perch on the day but it does make sense now. I live close to a lake where there are a pair of Forest Kingfishers (Australia) but I swear they never use the same perch twice.

Great video and valuable tips to capturing this beautiful bird. Many thanks

Thanks for sharing the talents you've been blessed with! I just found my first Belted Kingfisher this summer by the river near our home in Minnesota. I was able to take a few horrible pictures, however I instantly fell in love with the birds. Thanks for the tips, I'll be trying the homemade perch next spring... God bless.

amazing video and the idea so great and it's sure the manual focus on kingfisher is being well done, thanks alot Mr mike lane

Beautiful, great work! Thanks for sharing!

thanks for sharing your knowledge....

Thanks for sharing all these videos! They are all very informative yet succinct, often with a humors touch to boot. Would be curious to see a video on photographing osprey and hear any tips you might have.

Excellent video. Informative, clear, practical. Really enjoyed learning from you. Thank you.

This is one of the best YT videos I’ve ever seen. Awesome stuff mate. I’ve gained a truckload of knowledge to hopefully improve my bird photography. Many thanks from Oz.

no that was a good analogy! You are so modest!

Thanks for sharing , great video, very clearly explained.

Great images and very helpful - thanks for posting.

" bad language coming from the hide", I can believe it ...Thank you for sharing this Mike, and for the perch information, all in all , a lovely viewing experience.

Thank you so much Sir for made this incredible video. I have learned so much from you. 🙏🙏🙏

Great tips Mike. I certainly would have expected the bird to shy away from a new perch so that is really interesting. Great images. Cheers Keith

Thank you very much for this great video. I really liked it and I have learned important things that I needed. The moment of the AF that does not want to focus on the bird reminds me of many situations experienced by me with the Nikon P-1000. Thanks again, I subscribe to the channel.

Terrific video Mike. Thanks.

Wow, excellent advice, especially about taking the perch away..! I thought the longer I leave it there the better :) Aparently, you know kingfishers better. Thank you so much for this video.

Excellent Mike! I went through a phase of photographing kingfishers! youve put me in the mood to get back into them! very Informative video as always!

Great results of a great effort. 👌👌👌

enjoyed this video very much. very informative and will try it out soon for the kingfishers in our area.

Awesome video!! Thank you

Great Video! I saw a kingfisher several times at the local river. I think I'll try the trick with the pearch and set up my hide.

Thanks for passing on those tips. Always wanted to film a kingfisher, but never knew how to go about it!

Thank you so much for this amazing tip's. I'm working really hard on photographing kingfishers since months, but didn't get a really close shot yet. I'll try this technique with the fresh set up purch soon. We have a bunch of Kingfischers here and unfortunately there are a lot of branches on both sides of the river, but the river is quite wide, so i hope with setting up the branch to the middle third of the river, it will be attracted by that. Have a nice weekend. ;)

What a great video, thanks for that

Brilliant video, very helpful and informative. Many thanks for sharing.

Mike excellent video I’ve been trying to get a photograph of the Kingfisher on the River Lagan Belfast for quite a while. Thanks for the great tips from the master!!

Great video Mike! Love the video footage of the bird. I am still looking for the perfect spot to photograph a kingfisher. So far I've found the bird, but there were no good photo opportunities. Thanks for the tips in the video. Well done. Regards from the north-east of Germany. Pat.

Lovely video and appreciate the explanation of your thought process which is an extension of the kingfisher's thought/habitual process. Greetings from India, Mike!

Excellent video. Very informative and lots of helpful tips.

Amazing video. Thank you so much

Great insightful video - thank you

what a great video! useful tips. thank you!

Beautiful bird and great and informative video

Wonderful shots! Thanks for sharing. With best wishes for tomorrow. Kind regards, Knut.

What a welcome video, I am on the same pathway, trying to figure out wildlife video making. I am behind you but keen! Thanks for being so practical and clear, it’s helped me to clarify my thoughts. I am nearing retirement so need something to get me off the sofa more.

A very interesting and beautiful report! A tip from me, how you can tell the age of the kingfishers: The color of the claws / feet. Young kingfishers, whether male or female, have black or very dark claws, older animals have orange claws.
