Capturing House Martins Collecting Mud for Nests with the OM1 Mk2 and Procapture.
House martins build their nests using mud, usually on buildings and this offers a good opportunity to photograph them. You just need a muddy puddle.
Every day for a week I topped up this puddle as we did not get much rain. The House martins were coming down to it, but not as often as I would have liked.
I used the Buteo single person hide for most of the pictures. The camera was the OM-1 Mk2 and the Lumix G9 Mk2 for the slow motion video and the lens the OM 150-400mm.
It was also a great opportunity to use the incredible Procapture feature.
