BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY | Photographing shorebirds

25 48



In this video I am trying to find a beautiful shorebird called purple sandpiper. They are migrating from the arctic in the wintertime. Its my first time seeing and photographing this bird. I did not expect to find them so quickly. I had a wonderful time photographing and filming them. Hope you enjoy the this.
I wish everybody a great holiday.

    Great video Trond. At 6:10 it looks like you've got a Ruddy Turnstone there with the Purple Sandpipers. Nice work.

    I must be honest, I held my breath when you had the drone over top of the birds. I don't know if you were too close or not, or if they were bothered. I hope not. Personally I have a no drone at all in any circumstance around wildlife policy.

    I loved the video and stills. And the landscape drone shots.

  9. Another brilliant wildlife video Trond, yes the purple sandpiper is a beautiful sea bird, we have a lot of them stopping over on Hilbre Island on the Dee Estuary, here in the uk, just for the winter months.
