I followed you tips on letting the food run out. Fantastic. Worked a treat. They really are agressive,

@petedraper5185 3 жыл бұрын

Cracking shots. The two I photograph quite regularly in the late autumn and winter, visit a wooden feeding table. Not ideal, but it's the best I can do as it is located in a nature park. I can stand about 2 metres away - they are not at all concerned. They actually pose quite a lot, but really are aggressive wards smaller birds. The Robins can just about hold their own.

Another top tip I learnt with these is if you have a tree with deep bark, jam peanuts into the crevices of the tree. The nuthatches will walk down the tree searching for the food giving loads of chances for a shot including the classic nuthatch poses.

Great video and information. We have both red breasted and white breasted nuthatch in the area I live (eastern Ontario Canada).I love photographing them but it isn't easy so will definitely try your suggestions.

@pnwbjj 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I've had a very different experience with the red breasted nuthatch here in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State). They have been assertive at the feeder and very unafraid of my presence being only 3-5 ft away. In fact I've had them buzz my head a few times in an aggressive manner. They will pose for me! What I have found (and this is only an observation), is that they will pull black oiled sunflower seeds from the feeder and intentionally drop them on the ground so that the Dark Eyed Juncos will feed from the ground rather the feeder. While they do this they will spend several minutes picking seeds up and flinging them to the ground, leaving ample opportunity to get some portrait shots of the bird. Because they spend enough time doing so this leaves me the opportunity to set up and think about getting in flight shots as they come or go from the feeder.

Mike. Very interesting. I have a Panasonic bridge camera with a 25-400 teach. Could I take pictures like yours with my camera? David

I am not familar with bridge cameras, but I do not see why not. That is good pulling power.

@tarjei99 3 жыл бұрын

The simple way of doing it is to have a piece og wood that serves as an anvil for the nuthatch when it is eating. It will display often, but perhaps not as often as if food is reduced.

Hello Mike, what camera do you use? I have a crop body with a canon 100-400 but iam about to change to a 6d with an 1,4 teleconverter, but im a little afraid of lose some zoom.
