How to Photograph Small Birds at the Park: Bird Photography Tips & Tricks

Bird photography in the Snow: I spend a day at my local park capturing natural photos of small birds. Learn my tips and techniques, in the field, for successful winter bird photography. It's a beautiful snowy day - surrounded by birds and wildlife! There's Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Blackbirds, Chaffinches, Nuthatches, Robins, Magpies, Stock Doves and a Jay! (And Grey Squirrels too). Christmas has come early!

I'm using a Mirrorless Canon R6 with a Canon EF 500mm F/4 Lens, with the Adapter. I'll show you how I set up my camera and my settings.

ABOUT ME

I'm Paul Miguel - a professional Wildlife Photographer based in Leeds in Yorkshire, England, UK. I'm happy whether I'm photographing Blue Tits in the garden or I'm chest deep in waders in a Slovenian lake. I Love Wildlife Photography!

I've been published in numerous photo magazines, made years of YouTube Videos and helped hundreds of people improve their wildlife photography skills on my small group and 1:1 workshops. I've also provided courses for major organisations in the UK including RSPB, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust. I love to travel, both for my own projects and on my Photo Tours I run in Europe.
