Photographing fighting Starlings from a hide with the OM-1 for stills and the Lumix G9 ii for video.

Starlings are quarrelsome birds who love to fight and I get the chance to photograph them from a hide in Essex. The hide is owened by local photographer Roger Hance who has many excellent fighting shots of these birds.

The hide is not a commercial hide and Roger does not rent it out. His website is below.
Rogers website is https://rogerhancefrps.com/
and his Youtube channel is    / @rogerhance5883  

I concentrate my efforts on the fighting shots and use the procapture feature of the OM-1 all day at 50 fps. I take 8780 pictures. Most are rubbish, but I get enough successful images thanks to the wonderful OM-1 and the 150-400mm lens.

For the video footage I use the Lumix G9 ii. The AF of this camera in video mode continues to impress me. The best I have used so far.
