Bird Photography in Bulgaria (and my Quest for the Golden Oriole!)

Bird Photography in Bulgaria: In June 2019 I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the beautiful Bulgarian countryside, photographing a variety of birds. My priority species was the secretive, and difficult to photograph... Golden Oriole. Some photos were from wooden hides whilst others were the result of improvisation, including using the back of a transit van! Despite being a very short trip, the memories will be strong - not just the amazing sightings of bird-life but the rich sounds and tranquil surroundings of this beautiful little patch of Bulgaria. Watch the video to see if I manage to photograph my target bird. A big thank you to Terry for making this video possible and for sharing his passion with me.

Filmed with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500.
Equipment: Canon 1DX Mark i, Canon 500mm f4 Mark i lens, Canon 1.4 Mark III extender, Induro CT404 tripod.

My equipment: If you purchase any of these items, that I use and recommend, through the Amazon links I receive a small commission which is massively appreciated and it helps me to keep creating new videos.
