Grey Heron Project Continues
1

My last project is to follow the nesting of Grey Herons. We are now at the point where the chicks are quite big but do not fly as of yet. They are however very rowdy as you can see towards the end of this video. I have been using the lumix gh6 for this project and is working very well with the 120fps when I have to do slow motion. Shooting video of birds is super hard.

Re: Grey Heron Project Continues
