You are an inspiration. I love how you don’t waste money on buying unnecessary stuff. Love the meal worm idea. I am going to set up a station like yours ….with my husbands help! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge.

Fenomenal como todos los videos. Felicidades

I love watching how other photographers get their images, very nice set up which is producing great results already. Perhaps time for another video on it, what worked for you and what didn’t..................... ???

Amazing shots. Very nicely done and more informative. Thank you. Lots of new and beautiful shots.

Very nicely done! Thanks

Thanks Roger. this was full of great information. I've subscribed!

lovely video, great work.

A wonderful video with some amazing results. It’s very reassuring seeing your results using that lens and teleconverter.

Great video some good tips which I will certainly use😄

Super interesting video Roger. Some super shots at the end and like you I think you’ll find the set up exceptionally productive in the winter. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Roger, that was brilliant and some great advice. I am sure you will get some fantastic images from your new set up.

Cracking video: I am fortunate to have access to private land, but it doesn't have anywhere near the number of birds seen in this video. I use a Nitehawk chair hide with my set up with my EM1X, 300mm f4 +/- MC14/MC20 and EM1.3 + PanaLeica 200mm f2.8.

Very enjoyable and informative Roger. I have been thinking about a small bathing/ drinking pool close to my hide, you've inspired me to go it now seeing your success, and so quickly. I'd thought of using the builders spot/tray but didn't like the edge situation, but you've solved that issue also. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, much appreciated. I've contacted you from your blog page regarding another question. Thank you. Phil.

Great video. Hypertufa for covering the edges - In a bucket, mix one part Portland cement, one part building sand and one part peat with water. Once it’s nice and viscous, smear it all over the surface of your container.

Enjoyable and informative - thank you Roger. Getting access to a site similar to yours on private land would be fantastic but I need to find an agreeable landowner first - that's the hard part! Nonetheless, some useful hints and tips - thank you.

Your best yet Roger. My feeder sites continue to be very poor. Used to get that many finches, but no longer.

I'm getting a lot of good tips from your videos. Stuff I would not have thought of on my own. I've been thinking about a pond. I've decided to use a plastic tray for shoes instead of the cement mixing tray. It may be that the shoe tray is longer. It is available from IKEA. For a table, I'm thinking of using an ironing board or something similar. Using glue and using mud for colour is brilliant. I've spent a lot of time thinking about where I can get hold of dark sand. As for the hide, I've been thinking about using a plastic cover for a pallet and cover it with burlap. Possibly burlap painted with textile colouring. To keep it upright I can use bamboo or plastic poles from a garden center. If I need something on the ground, I'll try to get hold of a pallet.

Great set up Roger

Some great tips here Roger, I have already set up my bathing pool in a similar way to yours and am going to add the feeding station this week. If I get as many birds as this I shall be amazed!

Informative video Roger, I’m looking to set something up in my garden, like the idea of the cement mixing tray. I too have one of those canvas hides must have had it for nearly 30 years now, haven’t used it for ages. Got an old shed I dismantled last year so planning on using the panels tom make a permanent hide.

Cracking Video Roger, I am not a wild life photographer, Seascape and Landscape being my preferred choice, but seeing the stunning images you take of the birds, I wouldn't mind having a go, I have been a Olympus user for over 40 years, starting with film and progressing to the present Cameras, currently using the OMD- Em1 Mk.3 and an old Olympus PEN-F which still takes stunning images, Is it in your opinion worth me buying the new OM1 is it a lot better than the previous models, Regards, Colin.

Great stuff! Amazing photography of the birds,but wait! Olympus can not make such photos!. I love my EM1X, both of them and the pro lenses and do a fair amount of good photography. Love your setup, however, I have a young cat who can clear 6+ feet from the ground, and I have to hang my feeders up high in my tree. Lately, I have been using flash and shooting out my living room window and have made some neat very close shots. Cheers!

Great and inspiring video. What do you feed the goldfinches?

Very nice video and informative . Can you please tell me what camera settings you are using to get such sharp images. Just moved to the E-m1x system and struggling with setting it up or perhaps a video of your setting up the camera.
