Just stumbled onto this. Great video, thanks!

Just catching up mate. Was great that with some cracking info again.

Superb

Great video lads. I used the same hide a while ago & the guy asked me if I wanted any food put close to the hide & quite foolishly said yes! The result was I had the same problem as you as most of the dives started behind the hide so by the time you saw them they were taking off away from you. Nevertheless, a fantastic experience as this hide gets you so close to the action. Looking forward to part 2 👍

Wow! That's like being a bear in a salmon stream! You just don't know which one to chase after...

What a incredible experience to see the red kite ever mind photographing them

Fantastic stuff Dan & Stu! Tricky tricky birds to capture diving, I was as you said in this vlog ‘completely overwhelmed by the experience’ the first time I visited a Red Kite feeding station (Not Gigrin Farm, but another one in Wales). I had only had my first proper DSLR a few weeks back then, & I sure found it difficult getting decent shots of them as they dived for food. I was guilty of switching targets, letting the frustration get the better of me; & not having the patience to stay focused on tracking one bird & sticking with it - so for anyone else that reads this; heed Dan’s advice & stick to tracking one bird & keep following it. There’s usually a pattern to their behaviour & they will usually (but not always) follow an arc, and then take a dive for the food. Some fantastic footage & stills as always chaps - love some of the shapes you both captured of the birds too. Cracking stuff guys 👌👏👏👏 Roll on part 2 👍 Best, Nick

Another great video Dan. I had the pleasure of meeting Pops earlier inthe week on dove had a great chat, great bloke.
-
Great video Dan , and advice. I’m going to the one in Dumfries in September 👍
-
Another great video Dan and another one for our bucket list to do. Looking forward to part 2.

Went there recently, it's almost too easy to get good shots there! My tip is to look at behaviour, and focus on one bird and predict behaviours.

Amazing pictures

amazing photos, thanks for sharing

Great vlog Dan just subbed will look at your other stuff, I have been there a few years ago before I brought a decent camera a re- visit is on the cards.
-
Great video as always Dan. I defo agree with pops about the challenge of that ground hide with them coming from behind. Defo found it easier in the Tower so best of luck. 😃

Lovely video Dan as per usual, this place is been on my bucket list to go to! I’ve just done the river Gwash trout farm near Rutland water with the ospreys, one one of the sessions I had a lovely encounter with a red Kite coming down for the trout! If you haven’t been there I can thoroughly recommend it!!
