Cannock chase is my local spot so hopefully I can help. The Fallow deer at the chase are prob one of the easiest to get close to. What you have to is firstly find them. The best time to see them is at first light or last light around the Brocton area. Once you see them stay back and take the...

Well done Mark :)

Foxes smell food from a long way off :) Try to make a call when you put the food out as she will also get used to this. As the hide goes, ditch it. The fox already knows you are there and it will become more and more confident with you. Trust me on this as I have had numerous foxes around...

Dennis I would not recommend using a flash set-up as the outcome will not be that great. If you have electrics close by then you would be a lot better off setting up some lighting. The fox already knows you are there and to be honest the hide will not help you, even with lights set up the...

The Reds have started at Lyme Park in Stockport.

Very sound words by Martin "I keep a escape route and use trees for protection. Always plan your shots and remember they are still wild." Things are still quiet at Cannock Chase at the moment with the Fallow deer, I would expect another couple of weeks before rutting starts from my experience...

What a load of Cr*p. From my experience the biggest issue with noise in hides is people entering and leaving the hide whilst having there dinner. I am always very quiet when leaving and entering the hides. The number of times I have been sitting there all quiet with my camera and someone...

A very nice collection indeed.

Mart Cannock Chase is on your doorstop and it will not be long before rutting season starts. Early morning walk around the Brocton area of the chase and you will be surprised on the amount of deer around.

It doesn't really bother me to be honest. Yes it can be easier to photograph a captive bird sometimes but you still need the same amount of skill to make a nice photo. BUT There are also a lot of times where people have spent many hours and days trying to capture that one particular photo...

As Ian above has said but its mainly down to practise.

Emm good reading but it will not stop me going out tomorrow morning :)

First time for 2012, we have about 2 inches at the moment so hopefully it will stick for the morning and allow me to get some nice shots.

Be glad you have any birds in the garden. The starling will come and go throughout the year and the other small birds are still prob feeding but prob just when you are not looking :) Two years ago I had the same problem and now I can't get a single bird in my garden as so many other people...
