Videos about Ningaloo are only about the spectacular underwater world that exists there. The underwater footage is truly spectacular but it is also refreshing to see the other wildlife which exist there👍
Nice video but music too loud
Thank you, I’ll take it on board but most feedback is the music is fine
Forgot i was on youtube..that was some serious production values... You have to do a gear video.. your skills are pro level 😅
Lived here my whole life and haven't seen most of these birds lol. What equipment did you use, and how did you get so many shots of birds from the side? Birds are usually in trees and I only get to see their bottoms :)
Warm greetings from Singapore!
Thank you, I really enjoyed my time in your country
Gosh, what a fantastic vid. Very enjoyable. All great, especially pleased to see the Regent Honeyeater up close and personal.
Thank you Gil. It was a lot fun putting this one together, especially the Regent Honeyeater footage
Central coast isn't Sydney morron.
Did you even watch the video? Why the name calling?
I love watching your videos. I must say this one is best among all...
Thank you, that is lovely feedback.
Australia has so many beautiful bird species that gives one so much scope for the imagination. Thankyou for the insight to these Aussie birds in this part of NSW😎👏👍
We are quite lucky here with all our unique birds.
Your videos are really nice
Thank you ☺️
Superb work and fantastic sightings, a juvenile GTP is something that I haven't seen yet. Will be back !!!
Thank you Andy, we were very lucky but also had great guides to find us all the species
That mist in the Blue Mountains look so cool!
Thank bro, love me some inverted clouds
Excellent footage and great efforts ! Really enjoyed watching, as a bird loevr !!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Great video! loved the footage of the golden whistler
Thank you! If you haven’t already watch my Lord Howe Island video, some sweet Golden Whistlers in that one
Loved this 😊
Thank you ☺️
Singapore 🇸🇬 has the Olive-backed Honey Sucker, otherwise known as the Garden Sunbird.
I did a video in Singapore a few months ago, check it out there are a couple of sunbirds in it.
The Golden Whistler resembles the Cinerious Tit found in Hong Kong SAR.
Yes, similar profile
It’s called, Lyre Bird. Not ‘Li’ bird.
Definitely Superb Lyrebird, a beautiful bird
Great find and footage of the Regent! Aren't we lucky to have so many honeyeaters ❤
Thank you Sonia, as soon as I head there was one in the suburbs I had to go and see it
Great location, one of local beaches, perfect for sunrise and sunset times
Wonderful
@@MrBerry67 thank you
Really wonderful photography and content!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Hey Roger! another awesome birding video. Next year I will be coming to Australia in June and touring Sydney, Alice Springs, Cairns, and all of the areas surrounding those towns. I'll be spending about 2 days in Sydney and 1 in the blue mountains. Do you have any recommendations on places to go around Sydney to see the most amount of different types of birds and get the most photo opportunities? Thanks a ton for making these videos. They are super helpful!
Thank you. That sound like an amazing trip. Honestly with only 2 days in Sydney I would probably just go to the Botanic gardens in the CBD. There are quite a number of our popular birds there, Kookaburra, Cockatoo, rainbows lorikeets, cormorants, waterhens and more. Plus you will be near the opera house etc, so worth visiting.
Can I suggest that you check the Blue Mountains national park website beforehand - only because a large number of the most popular walking trails have been closed over the past couple of years, predominantly due to landslides and the like from wet weather. At least you will know what is open and what isnt
Love the honey eaters.
Me too, but I do have a soft spot for the gang-gangs.
Another wonderful video!!
Thank you ☺️
Great video mate, tomorrow I’m going to try my luck and find that honeyeater!
Thank you, the Regent has moved on to other parts of the state. But you should find most of the other birds in this video.
Excellent footage and narrative, thank you!! A bit of audio leveling could make this an even better documentary. If the music were down ~6dB, the calls and your insightful narrative would remain in "focus". Thanks again, and cheers from North Carolina, US.
Thank you for the helpful feedback. For most of the bird videos there is actually no calls, just wind noise or people talking, so music is necessary to make it ‘interesting’. I will drop the volume in future videos though (maybe 😉)
A great video. Your bird trip videos are so helpful. Watching in the UK. 👍
Thank you ☺️, nice to have watchers from the outside of the world. One day I’ll get over there and photograph some Uk birds .
Nice video, thanks for sharing
Thank you
Great video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Good stuff as always Roger
Thanks Ian
Love your videos, mate!
Thanks a ton!
Thank you for capturing and sharing it, especially those far from Australia.
Thank you, glad I can bring a little bit of Australia to your home.
@@RogerMacKertich I am coming to Australia in November first time and want to do the birding in the Sydney area, Can you please suggest neat by place good in November for birding and local guide
Great footage Roger! I'll have to reconsider Canberra, I've not really thought to go birding there 🦜
Thank you Sonia. It is actually pretty good for birds, try summer when the snipes return.
Great video an photos. Loved the model planes, can't have been easy filming them!
Thank you, it was harder filming those than the birds!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking the time to comment
going to sydney soon will be going to lane cove . thank you aj from london
Have a great time! Lane Cove is excellent to see many of our famous birds.
Really well done! Your photography and videography is incredible.
Thank you so much, means a lot to get feedback like this.
Epic video brother. New sub. Love the footage and photos of the birds and your music and narration is calming and a good listen. 👍🏼
Thank you for the kind comments.
Awesome ❤video
Thank you ☺️
Awesome educational video ❤ Worth watching over again ❤
Thank you!
Fantastic footage of the Black-necked Storks, you seem so close, or is the long lens?
Thanks Bruce, a little bit of both, I was fortunate for the storks to come to the open, and the long lens brings us nice and close.
Beautiful as always.
Thank you so much 😊
Incredible photography & a wonderful soothing choice of music to accompany it. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to comment
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video and editing ❤❤❤
Thanks ☺️
Wow so enjoyed this video. So much to see.
Thank you. It really is an amazing place to got se many different birds
Awesome coverage of the Black Necked Storks…
Thanks, I was so excited to see them, it was my first time with that species and was fortunate they put on a reasonable show.
What do you think are the best months to visit ?
I would say from mid spring to mid Autumn, more chance of migratory species over that time
@@RogerMacKertich going to check out more of your videos !! I just got a nice birding lens .. that i have not used yet LOL
@@heartyfisherI hope they give you inspiration
Hello. I am so happy to be able to meet Australia's beautiful nature and birds. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. I will watch it often.
Thank you for your kind words
Great footage…how long do the swift parrots hang around in chiltern?
Thank you. I think that they may be around most of the winter, then head back to Tassie as the temp warms up.
