Join me on an unforgettable wildlife photography session at a beautiful country estate in Birmingham, where I spend the day photographing stunning woodland birds from the heart of nature.
We begin by setting up a pop-up photography hide in the lake, giving us incredible, eye-level opportunities to photograph kingfishers. The close encounters in this setting are absolutely electric and result in some of the most intimate kingfisher images I’ve captured.
Later in the day, I head over to the orchard area, where my friend Emily Taylor has cleverly converted an old shed into a permanent wildlife hide. From here, we photograph a wide variety of woodland bird species, soaking in the calm, patience and excitement that comes with hide photography.
And then… the moment I’ve been waiting for.
My nemesis bird — the green woodpecker — makes a dramatic last-minute appearance, turning a day of patience into a perfect wildlife photography ending.
This video is all about UK wildlife photography, hide techniques, patience, and those rare moments when nature finally rewards you.

The feel of your videos is superb, so calming and authentic. Like another comment mentions, I really feel you should have a nature series on mainstream TV.
Glad you got the Green Woodpecker and I look forward to more videos like this
You should approach the main tv channels and pitch a series with them. Your videos are that good.
Keep up the good work. 😀😀😀
