This Trip Nearly Broke Me 😅 | Operation 3 Rakijas Ep. 1 #birding

Operation 3 Rakijas is going to be a little different, this one comes from a week hosted, free of charge, by Filip and the team at Balkan Bird Bokeh in Serbia. What I didn't plan for was arriving already completely wrecked from back-to-back Operations all August, which meant very little b-roll, very little sleep, and - yes - falling asleep inside a hide more than once. A series of unfortunate events, basically. Episode 1: arrival, the woodpecker hide, and a red squirrel that would go on to become the story of the whole trip. A huge thank you to Filip and the entire Balkan Bird Bokeh team for the invitation, the hospitality, and for building some of the most thoughtfully designed hides I've used - fully customizable, right down to swapping out the one-way glass for camouflage netting. 🚨🚨🚨 If you're interested in joining me on a Workshop in Serbia next year, leave a comment or drop me a DM on Instagram! 📸 Equipment featured: 📸 Equipment featured: Canon EOS R5 Canon RF 100-500mm Osmo Pocket 3 If you enjoy authentic wildlife stories, consider subscribing to follow this and future Operations documenting the hidden lives of wildlife.
