How to approach birds for photography | Wildlife Photography.
My favorite way to approach birds for photography is to not approach them. Instead, let them come to me while I sit still and wait. Thank you to Zeapon for sending me the motorised micro 2 slider which I've been using for filming this video.

I'm originally from Norway, but I have lived in Scotland since I studied wildlife biology a long time ago. In Scotland, I've worked as an ecologist and occasionally still do some freelance ornithology work. I have a passion for the natural world and I believe it's our duty to keep as much wildlife and ecosystems alive for ourselves, for future generations and for nature's own sake.
Combining my passion for wildlife with an obsession for photography has been my ultimate pursuit for the last couple of years and I'm enjoying the journey more every day.
