Mastering BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY // Capturing the Majestic Sparrowhawk in Action!

I am going to spend three days in at Leiv Arne Åkset in Marnadal. Doing bird photography from hide. There are jays and magpie there, but in the autumn the migrating sparrowhawk are in larger number hunting for food. So I hope for a hunting sparrowhawk. This first day turned out great with some action photos at the last minute. One great thing was a new released firmware update for the nikon Z9. 4.10, with pure bird detection. Perfect place to test that out.
Autumn is also great for some landscape photography with nice colors in the forest.
This time I got the image that I was after. Sparrowhawk in flight. It is so hard, but with some training, you will get it.

Stunning photos as usual. My photos of marsh harrier using 800mm pf lens on my Z9 also have better keeper rate than before firmware 4.10. Hopefully Nikon will keep on improving firmware of Z9 in the future.

Hi Trond beautiful video to watch and your lovely exceptional images. Although the sparrow hawk images were stunning I do have such a soft spot for the red squirrel and that shot with the white environment all around the red squirrel was my absolute favourite. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

Hey Trond, love all your videos. Always can't wait for the final photo toward the end of the video. Just wondering, how did you bypass the copyright objection from KZfaq. Your videos always end with a famous soundtrack 🤔

@danwillis_photography 7 ай бұрын

Absolutely fabulous video, the chase footage of the Sparrowhawk and the Jay was incredible. Can I ask how you record the back of your screen footage? I too use a Z9 for my KZfaq channel and would love to include some of my back of camera footage. Thanks in advance

Hi Trond, thanks for your great video to Capturing Majestic Sparrowhawk, also if you don't mind I have a question for you, could you please tell me the name of the thing you wrapped yourself in to keep warm as I couldn't hear properly the name you called it?
