    How brilliant is Alan?? I've been twice this year and he somehow manages to find time to help you out and give you some advice when he's working full time. The mans a legend. Lovely film.

    This has been the best and my most favorite video on the 150-600. Very few have been able to deliver such amazing pictures as yours. I’ve been thinking wanting this but haven’t seen anything from YouTubers that made me think it can deliver, you have changed my mind. Thanks again for the brilliant photos and continue doing what you’re doing. You are great.

    Amazing shots. It’s made me consider making hides where we are to see these birds close up. Also big Thankyou to Alan McFadyen, brilliant 👍👍👍
  • @Rudieveraert
    Beautiful like always , you feel the love and passion in your videos .Thank you for sharing this .
  • Everything about this video is so beautiful and peaceful!! LOVE the B&W of the owl and all the shots are so wonderful!! Excellent interview with Alan as well, and the bloopers are always a hit😀
  • @34136TS
    Awwww just amazing, as always. Thank you - wonderful <3
  • Stunning pictures and videos Victoria. The whole thing feels so fresh and interesting. It is the kind of film that inner city school children should watch and learn the benefits of seeing and being close to nature. Well done you. Can’t wait to see the Puffins. 👍😎
  • @dx1o101
    Another enjoyable video. Very nice interview, I’ve always had interest of checking out hides for wildlife, but have not done it yet. It’s very enjoyable when you find other people interested in wildlife photography that has the same excitement. Thank you for another fantastic video.

    Lovely video, we’ll crafted and fabulous shots. Sometimes we hear Tawney from our house and in the winter see sparrow hawk regularly, even had a Kingfisher land on our fence once.

    Awsome to see someone who enjoys wildlife, nature and photography as much as many others I have met over the years. Those that show no interest in nature and wildlife photography are missing out on nature's incredible show through the season's. I have know Alan for years now and he's a top man, always willing to help and teach especially when I was a novice photographer. My son and I have spent many wonderful hour's at Alan's hides. Enjoyed your video very much.

    Didn’t know Fuji have this beautiful lens for wildlife ❤
  • Very well done and beautifully made video AND interview, Victoria! I really like to hear the story behind each photo. Everything in photography has to go through planning, preparation, and consistency in order to achieve great results. Of course, timing and luck play an important role as well but you build luck with hard work and perseverance. Thank you for the motivation, from the technical side, as well as the real-world experience! Amazing effort, keep it up! :)
  • @KumaAdventure
    Awesome video. I just enjoy landscape and street photography but this makes me want to get some telephoto lens and try photographing some birds.
  • Crystal clear shots, excellent use of lens. Beautiful pictures and an interesting interview.
  • WOW Victoria those images and video footage are absolutely brilliant what a combination the t5 and 150-600 lens make
  • @grahamniven
    Outstanding video, stunningly beautiful footage and stills.
  • Hey Victoria. Fantastic video, really loving all the wildlife photography you have been doing. The owls shots were my favorite, I think you captured them beautifully.
  • The mega zoom really is impressive. It also performs amazingly with video on the X-H2S! I like how you can get really close and get all the mannerisms and details (even if they are gory at times). The interview was a cool bonus, you were quite the professional interviewer and the interviewee and his accent were awesome too. 😎👍 It's awesome that you've learned so much from this adventure and it's good to see you happy in that last shot. ☺ And puffins next? What a treat! 🥳
