How I'm Embracing WINTER FROST For My Bird Photography

I visit St. Aidans Nature Reserve in the UK, at sunrise, in truly magical conditions. It's cold.. but it's beautiful. Join me for the ride as I enjoy a frosty winter morning shoot! Do you embrace conditions like this for bird photography.. or do you prefer to wait for warmer weather? Let me know in the Comments.

Filmed on 9th January 2025 during a deep freeze here in the UK.

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.
