The Dales Way Wildlife Photography Walk - Manbily Tripod

Today I am out photographing 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 enjoying this fine spring weather that we should have had weeks ago. Today I am taking a walk along this river in the hope of photographing some 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 here in the lovely Yorkshire Dales surrounded by new lambs in these beautiful green fields.

With me today is the new 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗱, which I have been sent by Manbily to give it a try and give an honest review on how found the Monopod for wildlife photography

I left the car at around 6:30 AM and made my way down to the river where I happened to come across a large embankment where 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘀 were nesting and digging new nests into the riverside I spent some time watching and photographing them as they flew around and skiming the water for insects. Just beneath the 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘀 was a common sandpiper foraging around for grubs on the shores of the river.

I continued my walk along the river edge making my way up towards the forest, where I was lucky enough to come across 2 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 soaring above the tree tops and one of them actually eating whilst on the wing before finally dropping its prey.

As the morning went on I decided to spend a bit of time on a tributary, as the main river was quite high pushing most of the 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱𝘀 such as 𝘄𝗮𝗴𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 and 𝗱𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 off to the subsidiaries off the main river.
After three hours I managed to photograph a single dipper on a rock before I turned around and started walking back towards the car.

On my return journey, I happened to see a strange bird flying around and as I looked closely I suddenly realised it wasn't a bird at all but a bat, I watched the bat with eager eyes and managed to see where it landed as it did I got my camera and took some photos and video of this love little bat out in the daylight in the woods.

A fantastic day 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀, a part of the country I truly love to be in.
