In today's video I'm photographing Red Kites in the beautiful Chilterns. I get treated to absolutely stunning weather conditions and can't quite believe my luck. I hope I managed to successfully capture some of the beauty of the day, I'm very pleased I remembered to bring my drone with me. The Red Kites were out in force, and I managed to come back with a whole host of different images! Oh what a day it was, I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I enjoyed making it.

Just found your channel and funny enough, I was on this exact hill last Sunday shooting red kites. It's perfect in the morning as there is no one there and you get that lovely view over Oxfordshire. Lovely stuff 🙂

Hi Marc, only discovered your videos yesterday. Very informative and relaxed. Ref more zoom mentioned here, I had the 100.400 great lens for the price, and very lightweight, but unless light was good it suffered. Have now got the 150.400 and the difference is amazing. Fair bit heavier though.

Hi Dan, great stuff - thanks for your comment 😊 I'm very jealous of you for having that 150-400mm... maybe one day I'll be able to afford it. I'm looking to test out the new 150-600mm soon, so hopefully that could solve my problem!

Hi Mark, just discovered your channel. Great laid back content. What lens/ lenses are you using for your bird photography? I would love the 100-400 f4.5 but too expensive. I shoot a lot of varied insect photography, for aesthetics and ID and birds. My partner being an ecological scientist. I tend to shoot most subjects with the 300mm f4 and 90mm macro. I combine both these lenses with the 1.4 teleconverter. The teleconverter lives on the camera almost acting as a sensor shield. It works great with both those lenses. I can't quite work out what lens you are shooting with. Your photos are great.

@marchumphreyphotography 5 ай бұрын

Hi Derek, thank you for the lovely words! I almost always have the 300mm stuck on my camera, with or without the 1.4x. I too would love the 150-400mm but way too far out of my price range 😂 I think I'll be investing in the 100-400mm soon, I'm aware of it's downfalls, but I do find myself wanting a zoom a lot of the time

@theflyingdutchman7127 6 ай бұрын

hi Marc I personally think that systematically feeding birds of prey is not a good thing, it makes them very lazy and naturally unlearns hunting behavior, which is very bad for the birds. your photos and video are very successful. Kind regards from the Low Countries.❤

@marchumphreyphotography 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! It's a tough one, as it's definitely beneficial for birds with dwindling numbers, and has certainly helped boost red kite numbers. But feeding birds in general changes the balance of biodiversity, even in our garden birds, it can give birds an unnatural boost in the winters - meaning they can outcompete other birds in the spring.

@RogerJones-mountfield 6 ай бұрын

Red Kites are scavengers, feeding them is actually better than places where they are scavenging at rubbish processing plants where there is netting and other deterrents that may harm and/or trap them. The same will be said about feeding birds in the garden! The Jury’s out 🤷🏼‍♂️
