@@Mr.Big-Al Brilliant!! 👍😊 That must be amazing! What kind of Rails are you seeing in Fiji?? ~ Karen

@@micheledamschke2441 We love all creatures!! 😊❤️

@@craig9563 Thank you 😊❤️ Yes they had been reported on Ebird in both locations we visited as a “hot spots”. Fortunately the second location turned out to be where they were on the day ~ Karen

@@NannyLyn53 Thank you so much! 😊❤️ Just knowing that our videos are being enjoyed out there means everything to us! ~ Karen

🤣we love birds, animals & nature but large groups of people all squeezed into one place make us want to hide under a bench 😂 I think we're getting a bit better now though🤪 ~ Karen

Thank you so much 😀

me too!! 😀 When we had time to discover our own parks, Nimal rediscovered birdwatching & I rediscovered photography. It was fun as we then blended both interests between us. Nimal has picked up photography much easier than me learning all those birds out there! 😅 ~ Karen

Thank you 😀 The Azure Kingfishers were wonderful to see. Such cute little birds! Apparently this spot is a favourite when they visit the area. 🙂~ Karen

Wow that would have been a really long walk!!! Pretty though!! The new centre at the Apostles was interesting and fortunately quiet at sunrise but I've seen other people's videos where people are crammed all along the boardwalk. Awful! Thanks so much for watching & have a great week! 😀~ Karen

Thanks! 😀 Yes I love the plant information too! Nimal knows so much interesting stuff & I learn something new all the time just because we make these videos. So glad that the accommodation information is useful. We do stay in some great spots & they vary quiet a bit so we'll definitely keep adding that in (just have to remember to film or photograph BEFORE we mess it up 🤣) ~ Karen

It really was quite a fun place to visit. Apparently there are even more interesting birds to see in the warmer months. Worth a revisit 😀

It's so different now but still spectacular. If you get back there, definitely go everywhere very early to avoid the bus loads of tourists and the full carparks. We found sunrise to be the most peaceful. 😀 ~ Karen

Thank you 😀 Yes it is sometimes disappointing when returning to places that we loved in the past. There are so many more people & tourists visiting these spots now & the infrastructure it takes to cater for these numbers can really ruin the natural surroundings. Our wonderful memories of these places being peaceful, beautiful & naturally stunning is now just a memory. I worry about places like Murray Sunset that are still (more or less) undiscovered. Once these places are "found" by tourists the wildlife, plants and peaceful beauty of these locations are never the same. ~ Karen

Thanks so much for watching! 😀❤

Thank you so much 😀❤

Thanks Geoff! 😀 Danke, merci, gracias and much obliged!

@@naturephotographychallenge onya mate!

@@pembridgehouse 😅👍

Thanks so much for watching!! 😀❤

🤣 I think he’s been secretly practicing that move!

Thank you!😊 This was such a fun trip!! We’re looking forward to hopefully revisiting again later this year

Those finches were so sweet! 😊 Yes don’t overdose on us! 🤣 New video out now though

Thanks so much! It was such a fun day with the nicest people 😊

I totally agree!! I would avoid camping at Tidal River any weekend or school holidays! Great place to visit but too many people can really ruin the experience. 🙂~ Karen

Thank you so much for watching! 😀

😁 Thanks for your comment. In a perfect world, the birds would be calling, no wind noise & we wouldn’t be mumbling odd comments 🤣 but in reality we often have to remove the annoying noise & music creates a mood when there’s nothing else there. We intend to get some good quality mics soon so that should help. Thank you for letting us know & thanks again for the feedback 😊 ~ Karen

I agree! ❤️😊

Thank you so much 😊❤️

Thank you so much! 😀 Really appreciate that! ❤

Many men do go there alone but I wouldn't go without someone else. When the tide is high, the area is cut off until the tides starts to go out. It's not only bird watchers that go out there too, it's more known as a fishing spot & at low tide people take their dogs for walks along the beach as well. The carpark is also a bit dark & dodgy so being with others would be far more safe.😊 ~ Karen

@naturephotographychallenge thanks Karen. That why I found altona at sunrise much better as im near my car.

@@loisr1560 agreed! 😊 Always best to stay safe. As for the best time to see migratory shorebirds there, I think it's more the warmer months. Nimal knows everything so I'll ask him to reply when he gets home. 😀

Thanks so much 😊 Next video will be Peterborough, Vic. Just have to get it started 🫤

Thank you so much for watching! 😀❤

Thank you so much 😊 It turned out to be a pretty quiet afternoon for birds. The Godwits were great so they were the stars! The tide was supposed to be really high but it didn't seem to move all that much (we think the sand bank must have shifted). We've been there when there's been way more migratory birds but, of course, it was late May. It was a fabulous sunset though!! And the conditions couldn't have been more enjoyable 😀 ~ Karen

Thank you so much Chrissie! ❤😊

Thanks so much! 😊 @ 6:14 would be the Red-necked Stints. It was difficult to label the birds in this video as they were all bunched in together 😀

Thank you so much 😀 That sunset was worth the trip in itself!! Gorgeous spot when it's perfect conditions like that

Thank you so much! 😀❤

It definitely does!! 🤣 I'm sure it's going to catch on 😀

Thank you so much! The sunset that night was amazing! That photo at the end wasn't even altered in any way... that' is what it was like straight out of camera! It's quite funny... but I learn something new in each of our videos too! Nimal knows all this stuff about birds & everything but I have no idea until he starts talking to the camera. 😀 ~ Karen

Thank you! 😀 It is a lovely spot but fragile. Perfect to visit on a calm day. Fortunately, most people that visit are very respectful of the vegetation & give the birds the space they need to roost. 🦅

Thanks so much! ❤ We often have to sit around patiently waiting for something to fly in 😀 Most of the time the locations are beautiful like this one (the odd occasion it's a dusty dirt road 🤣... not so fun!). Thanks for the compliments on the editing & filming!! Really appreciate that ❤
