You two are my favourite photographers on youtube, and I love that you are doing video's together now. You guys thought me so much! Thank you for that.

I’m 74 years old & both of you make me feel 34 again; your enthusiasm is infectious. I recently upgrade my 50D for a R50 camera & I’m so blown away with the new technology that I’m already saving towards a better setup. Thank you for helping me get so keen on photography again 😊

I’d just like to say that I was having trouble with setting up my Canon R5 over the weekend and decided to comment on one of Jan’s videos. Sure enough, he replied quickly and multiple times to help me resolve the issue. I was able to take the camera out and photograph birds for the first time in my life while at a very important event (to me) where I really valued capturing those images along with pictures of the event. Everything went beautifully and it was thanks to Jan helping a random person on the internet. Thanks to both of you for getting me into photography. My r5 and rf 100-500 just stunned me with incredible photos! Look forward to listening to this tonight at work.

The biggest problem with ebird and FB pages are that a lot of people just go to those few places and do not explore anywhere else. Which is sad for them.

Always a pleasure to hang out with the two of you. Congratulations on 100,000 K Jan! You’ll be there soon Duade. I continue to love my Canon 100-500. So light and flexible.

The part where you guys talked about finding birds helped me a lot. I have always had trouble finding birds, but now, it’s easier because of the tips you guys mentioned :)

Fantastic to see you both! I always enjoy to watch your video's and to learn more every day. I have the Sony 400-800 with an A1 and spent some days in the field, but yes it is kinda hard to drag it around handheld especially with birds in flight with that angle of 800 mm.
