Photographing Marsh Harriers from a Hide - But Do I Have Enough Reach? And Tips on Hide Photography

In this video I'm lucky to watch both male and female Marsh Harriers displaying - part of their courtship in Spring. I also get some high speed action shots of Geese. Once editing the video and photos I noticed some heat haze which I hadn't really noticed at the time - this is something you can't do much about and it's usually a case of being patient. The only real way to reduce it is to get closer.

That harrier footage was awesome, but the way that goose absolutely face planted the water was hilarious...poor thing, lol.

Lovely video of the Marsh Harrier in flight - don't worry about the distance - main thing is you captured it and showed it to us. Many thanks for putting Blacktoft Sands on my radar. I live about 120 miles away but I'll get there soon. Made my first visit to St Aidans last week!

Nice one Paul down South we have RSPB Radipole & Lodmoor in Weymouth Dorset which is often good for Marsh Harriers. Magnificent Birds of Prey great video 👍
-
Great editing Paul music including excellent slow motion birds real credit to you 👏👏👏
-
Great video, very informative! I love marsh harriers and I recently had an opportunity to see one up close as it was hunting above a pond where I was photographing ducks. I'm sorry about the autofocus, but I am thankful that you included that in the video. It is so frustrating when it happens, but also reassuring to see it happen to others, too!

For hide photography I mount my gimbal on a Cam Caddie cheese plate from Amazon. Sits on the shelf and it’s height adjustable.

Visited this site yesterday Paul and it didn't disappoint for marsh harriers. Gave me an opportunity to practise my birds in flight target and managed a lucky display from the spoonbill there too! Great location, thanks for this!
-
Hi Paul, lovely footage of the marsh harriers. I think environmental shots can work really well on occasions. I had my closest encounter with a male marsh harrier a couple of days ago. Totally unexpected, I was photographing a kestrel when this marsh harrier came into view. All the best Steve.

Hi Paul, been looking through your videos/ I was in the hide sitting at the side window. I did say hi. Great video
-
Love spending time at Blacktoft watching the harriers
-
Maybe the gueese are following you.. they like your photography style... cool video, Paul 😁
-
Saw 2 at Pottetic Carr the other day. Amazing birds
-
Outstanding. Love this

Hi Paul - Graham Spencer (from St Aidens) here, The Double Storey Hide is where I had most success there, Marsh Harrier Landed 50 foot away. Also the hide on the extreme west of the site had good views of them too. Your video has pushed me to go there again.

Excellent!
-
Beautiful footage
-
Great footage, love hide photography
-
I like the voice over you’ve done something for me to look in to in future
-
The male is stunning much like the Northern Harrier here in Florida,one of if not the most sought after to photograph raptor,by me at least.

Marsh harriers always seem elusive or, like you, when they do come near the focus won't lock! Your experience is typical of that I see at Rye Harbour NR in East Sussex or Dungeness RSPB in Kent. This was enjoyable to watch.
