Wildlife Photography Behind The Scenes With Eagle Owl and Beaver

In this video we have a look at wildlife photography projects that did not work out as planned, basically things you did not see. We have a look at black woodpeckers, beavers and the gorgeous eagle owl. Did I miss my opportunity or where these projects successful? At the end of the day most projects worked out!
🐺 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Not every idea I have becomes a whole video. We are looking at three topics in this video and ask three questions: How many chicks do Black Woodpeckers have? Are Beavers Blind? And how does the eagle owl sound like?
The first story is from a black woodpecker nest that I visited during spring. Here you see that the black woodpeckers were quite successful and got up to three chicks (I said two in the video). Our next trip leads us into the Beaver valley where we try to encounter the beavers living there, we actually get to see one up close, but to experience this place in itself is quite magical. The last story is about a recent trip in Germany. I visited a friend not too far from home and we observed a eagle owl calling out in an abandoned quarry that it is occupying.

    The original idea was to make a video out of all my work again, but somehow I got stuck with this format, and I thought some inspiration or idea at the beginning can be always nice and as well catching for new viewers. So I will try to continue with these interesting intros for these small formats. Thank you, Pau :)

    I like your videos Gunnar! Sometimes, the background music is slightly too loud, but your poetry in filmmaking is very nice. I would love to see some of the single images you must have made of the different animals, the cute badger, for example. Some times I feel you underestimate your own ability, but that is neither necessary, nor good for you! You have lots of talent! So believe in yourself!

    Hei Steinar. I very much appreciate you telling me about the music. I am in a process of having different speaker from time to time, so this information is gold for me mixing my videos. I hope to have a working system in place over the next couple of months that will give me a standard to work with. I am not completely sure what you mean with the single photos of the badger? This intro is basically a compilation of many adventures from the last two years, so if you want to see the badger photos I recommend my badger series. If you meant photos to the single short stories, then I must disappoint because there was not really a decent photo of the beaver nor the woodpeckers. You are right now, I am well in underestimating my skill and what I have learned in short time. I am not fully convinced of my photography, but I think very well of my videos. Thank you so much for the feedback :) Cheers.

    Great format Gunnar, it would be such a waste to not show all those unused clips. Every time I watch your videos it inspires me to go out and do more. I have been looking to get a shotgun mic, which one do you use? Cheers Keith

    Hey Keith. I am very happy to hear that those videos inspire to go out more and that people enjoy this extra material. This stuff is laying around and sometimes it seems to be too good to just leave it. In the end I am saving up for a greater goal, but there is no reason against a sneak peak. The mic I am using is the Røde Videomicrophone pro plus, it is working well in a lot of cases, but is no super specialist. I have to get something else for aimed recordings like the eagle owl in the future! Cheers, G :)

    It was actually an easy spot, but then finding it with the camera was hard since I lost it. Gladly I had Dario with his eyes on it for the whole time. We listened to it the evening before and did not see it at all, but the second time it worked well. If you listen closely you hear the female in the back. Glad you enjoyed this one :)

    @@GunnarDresler Duetting owls are really cool. It's awesome that you managed to record it! Have you considered a thermal monocular? They are eye wateringly expensive but there is a second hand market (and if you are brave enough to buy a broken one and fix it yourself it can be cheap). They are a very effective tool to find wildlife, even well-insulated birds like owls. Looking forward to seeing mor of your "projects that did not work out as planned". This episode is excellent.
