Bird photography at drinking pools in Bulgaria. Part two of three films.

Bulgaria is my favourite Eastern European country to visit. It is so bird rich. Everywhere you look there are birds and access to the land is very open.
I travel with Emil Enchev whose web site is cometobg.com/
This is the second film of three I made about the trip and I concentrate on the four drinking pool hides we visited. As we left one of the hides we realised we had been sharing space with a Sand boa. Not a large snake, but a constrictor likes its larger cousins.

Great video! A nice hide, but the background bushes at the end of the pool seem a bit too close, giving a somewhat busy bokeh. Therefore the photos of birds on the perches are the better ones IMHO.

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful images and video. Almost a year of having the OM-1 and really enjoying it. New owner (about 2 weeks) of the 150-400mm TC lens. What a great lens, but still suffering sticker shock. Looking forward to fall migration and the opportunity to give it a real workout and getting some fantastic images.

Wonderful video shots of the birds in flight. I actually like the bedraggled flight shots I think it adds something away from the perfect looking groomed birds.

Now, English is not my first language, but I thought the correct term was venomous snake rather than poisonous. But maybe I'm wrong?

@MikeLaneFRPS 11 ай бұрын

You are correct, but ask 1000 Englishman to pick up a snake and I would guess 800 would ask if it is poisonous. Same as most would call a mosquito bite a bite even though it isn't.

@skakdosmer 11 ай бұрын

@@MikeLaneFRPS well, luckily in Danish there's only one term: Giftig! (This is also the term in German, I believe). So whether it's snakes, berries, mushrooms or remarks, it's the same word. Mosquitos don't bite in Danish, they sting. Whether that's technically true, I don't know, because bees and wasps sting too, although it's a totally different thing.

@skakdosmer 11 ай бұрын

@@MikeLaneFRPS ask 100 Danes to pick up a snake, and most likely they wouldn't ask any questions, but simply say NO. I know I would.

No is the second thing an Englishman would say.
