    I spent two years in the US. The thing I missed most about Australia was the bird sounds. I'm a Canberran and, as you know, hearing loud, boisterous birds is part of our way of life. Even the wrens are noisy in their way! Sitting here now I can hear a cacophony of noises and remember how much the "tweet tweet" of northern hemisphere birds would frustrate me! The loudest birds were Woodpeckers (oh my goodness) and Owls at night (again, something I'd not experienced). I agree that birdsong does us good. It's a visceral connection with our surroundings. You don't hear spiders crawling or, necessarily, a kangaroo eating grass nearby, but you ALWAYS hear the birds. It reminds you of where you are. In the darkest time of COVID and Trump (in DC) from 2019 - 2021 I often used to send myself to sleep with a podcast that had audio recorded from all kids of natural environments. Obviously, the one that recorded noise from Point Hut was on high rotation! Such a coincidence to see you here in the very same spot! Don;'t need the podcast anymore and am sooooo glad of it. I don't know if you recall but at some point (30years ago maybe?) David Attenborough was interviewed on. ABC Radio and noted that the birdlife here was more diverse and unique than anywhere in the world. How lucky we are!

    any theories on why the emu survived and the thunderbird didnt? larger clutches? shorter development periods? you would think that when the thunderbirds were gone, the aboriginals would have moved to the next largest source of eggs for easy protein

    Thanks Neil! These blokes just turned up at my house and at first I thought they were koels. But then noticed the beak wasn’t right for a koel. Your video helped me confirm they were white-winged choughs. One I haven’t seen before, very exciting!

    Salve ho un binocolo vintage di marca ''MIRAGE'' made in japan ma non riesco a risalire al periodo di costruzione e a saperne di più sull'azienda che l'ha costruito. Qualcuno può darmi informazioni a riguardo? è un mirage made in japan in corpo di metallo 20x50 molto simile a quello che fai vedere nel video! ma non trovo nessuna informazione su di esso online! grazie in anticipo!

    There are three forms in the wild, Red , Yellow and Black head Gouldians. And they were once popular rite across North Australia but now can only be found in a few small pockets of the NT and WA , currently their biggest population can be found in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, there is no substantial evidence to say their numbers are increasing although recent studies have found the population to be stable!

    I was just given what I am assuming to be some sort of vintage monocular. It's very small & markings say SWIFT HUNTSCOPE model T22 4x,20 in a black case with soft red inner lining. I have Google searched till I have nowhere else to look. I can think of. Is there anyone out there that could give me any info on this. I'm only assuming it is vintage because I can find zero info on it? It looks absolutely brand new but has a very old 'look' to it. The clarity looking through the glass is excellent. Is it possible anyone out there with know anything about this piece?

  • @fifugan_1798
    @fifugan_1798 Před 3 měsíci

    One of the most beautiful birds ever, I am holding onto the sliver of hope that it may get rediscovered again. And that picture actually sent shivers down my spine, knowing it was probably one of the very last of his species; now nothing more than a memento, a beautiful window to gaze into the past, and a reminder that we can look back on to hopefully protect the vulnerable ones in nature. 💔

    g'day Neil, great video, glad I stumbled on it. I am out that way a lot and love every part of it. I am not a massive birder but am mates with a guy name Phil Hansbro who is and we saw a Red Browed Treecreeper down that way many years ago. Such a great part of the world. Heading down to the huts further down the road to record a video tomorrow in fact. Good luck with your channel, I know they are a lot of work. Subscribed ✌🏻

    Thanks Neil. I absolutely love that place. Go there as many evenings as I can. Saw spoonbill, quail ? chicks jumping about and this evening an aerial display of some kind of swift or swallows before they disappeared into the reeds. Something amazing every time I go. Along with a few Roos. Helen de Bray

    I have one of these calls. It’s more of a fidget that makes noise if you ask me. I can’t say it calls birds at all. If you want to see birds go to the woods and be still the woods with come alive with movement

    I just found a vintage pair made in Japan for Sears at a Salvation Army thrift store. I couldn’t believe it when I looked thru them at the store. Without a second thought, I snatched them up at a bargain price. The case is really cool too. It looks like a small ladies purse which is perfect for me. It didn’t come with the manual, but I found it online. Tomorrow I am headed on a camping trip on the Colorado River. I can’t wait to use them. I love the idea of reusing items, and I can’t wait to try them out.

      @RealMonkeShorts Před 2 měsíci

      6x15 micron gets the edge as it focuses all over the view But 8x20 only focus on the centre I suggest Nikon 6x14 Micron

    I disagree. As an eye glass wearer, eye relief is critical for me. Anything less than 18mm means I cannot get a clear view. My Pentax 10X43 offer 21mm which is fantastic.

      @nonothingnever It's truly heartbreaking. The story of the paradise parrot serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of some species and the challenges they face.
