A happy moment | BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY – photographing waterfowl

25 56



I was out looking for woodpeckers with my sons. And came over a common teal. So I went back on that evening to try and photograph this beautiful waterfowl. Its so great that the days are longer so I can go out in the evening to do some bird photography after work. It turned out to be a great day with the common teal.

    Waterfowl for the irridescent nature of the feathers and general plumage.
    Raptors because they are just so damn handsome and impressive looking.

    Fantastic video and shots as always Trond. I don't think I can ever get tired of watching waterfowls. I have a question for you – how do you manage to get such gorgeous telephoto footage of the birds? It's an absolute pleasure to watch. And oh, waterfowls are my most favourite birds too.

  11. Marcel Zwart says

    Stunning pictures Trond. There are a lot of birds I like, but my favorite is the puffin. Until now I have never photographed one, but it is definitely on my bucket list to do so.

    Just stumbled upon your channel. Good stuff. We have a lot of these here in Colorado USA. WE call them green winged teals here though. And I guess owls would be my favorite

    Great video, thank you.

  21. Aaron Duszynski says

    Another amazing video. Right now, the warblers are migrating through my area so I would have to say that would be close to my favorite. They are such a challenge to photograph but can be so much fun to get a shot of. Keep up the good work.
