It really is so interesting to see people gathering for a chance to see an American Robin when they are so commonplace to me and almost part of the landscape in the springtime.
@@frasercattini3153 That's awful, I understand the pain of just missing that wayward bird. I wish I could give you some of the 20 that are on my lawn at any given moment.
@@Lane_KellerRW24 It was on the other side of one of the rivers. I couldn't get a picture because it was flying. I have seen over 1,000 species of birds in a span of 10 years but this was one of the best
Whenever I think of a “bird” in general, the American robin is the first to come to mind😂. You see them everywhere, & if not everyday than every other day. Truly the default US bird. (Besides the bald eagle of course)
Where I live you can predict the weather by how many robins show up. It was hot here in southeast Texas last week, but I knew it would be a lot colder this week from how many robins showed up. Robins live hear rear round in small numbers year round, but seeing more robins means the weather is gonna change in a few days.
I am a Swedish birdwatcher that is always on the hunt for a glimpse of a new species, so I really liked this video. We had our fair share of North American birds in Sweden as well. The most rare one I have seen must be the American-tree sparrow that visited us in November 2016. This year (may 14:th 2022) we had a visit from a Least sandpiper. We also had a visit from a Mourning dove, Wilson´s snipe, American golden plover, White-winged scoter to name some of the rarest North American one I have seen here in Sweden. If I could wish for any special American bird for the future it would be White’s Thrush or American Robin. Would be amazing to see these thrushes here in Sweden
@@hamsterama they are most definitely a migratory bird. A lot migrate from the southern USA and mexico to all over Canada and back every year. That being said, them flying across the ocean is an oddity.
@@wilduntamed I did not know that! I live in Ohio, and mourning doves live here year round. It's common to see them under bird feeders in the winter, eating fallen seeds. They especially love safflower seeds. Maybe the populations that live in the south are migratory, and the populations in the Midwest stay put all year.
I managed to see the belted kingfisher on the River Ribble last year. Absolutely amazing, although distant. Also seen American golden plover this year!
Wow, if a belted kingfisher ended up in Sweden, I would drop everything and just go, no matter what. You should be happy you got such an amazing bird to visit you =)
@@thoos192 A lot of people did drop everything to go I think! A few people also got injured trying to climb down muddy slopes by the river, but when I saw it there was a safer viewing area in a farmer’s field.
The same thing happens the other way too. I have seen Northern Lapwings, Barnacle, and Pink-footed Geese, Wheaters, Ringed Plovers, Eurasian Wigeons, and even Fieldfares here in New England. There's plenty more native birds here that have showen up in the UK that weren't listed. Part 2 coming?
Yes there has been many European birds in north America it happens a lot more than the average person would think. For example the aleutian island chain of Alaska regularly gets birds from Europe and Asia.
When I heard you speak about the Baltimore Oriole, it made me think about the Golden Oriole, which is a summer visitor to the UK but very rarely seen. Great video as always.
Oh yeah, for Orioles my family used to leave orange slices on our deck to attract them but we stopped doing this because it would attract raccoons. Normally we wouldn't care, but once there was a really bit one that got into a fight with our dog and we didn't want it to happen again
As a North American birder, we get just as excited about the odd European bird. A few of my favorites, Eurasian Widgeon, Fieldfares and Redwings, Black-headed Gulls and a few others. Best was a Common Kestrel in Nova Scotia
I was watching a CGP Grey video filmed in London and was shocked to see an unmistakable Laughing Gull in London. Looked it up and sometimes a gull native to the Caribbean, southern US and parts of South America just flies to the UK or France. They know what they are doing and will go to Africa to eat and catch the winds that take them back home. The Laughing Gull is the main type of gull on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The adults are very distinct from the juveniles. Adults have solid black heads.
Reminds of when a young male American bittern ended up lost in the uk (I think this was 2018), poor bloke seemed pretty confused and started booming out mating calls at the local Eurasian bitterns. I’m not sure how much luck he had with the local gals 😆
Scarlet tangers are a very beautiful bird, they're even more vibrant than the red Cardinal with some specimens ranging into a deep purplish pink to magenta color, I've only ever seen paintings do their color justice after seeing one outside my window and wondering what that magnificent little flying flower was
Personally I think that American robins should be renamed to red breasted thrush or something. It sounds a lot more unique and would help prevent confusion with the European robin
there are quite a few such instances where they just put american or so before the name like american badger /european badger there are also some ant species europe have Lasius niger and Formica rufibarbis while the Us have Lasius neoniger and Formica neorufibarbis where Neo just means new ...so insted of giving them all some unique names ,,they just put new or american in front Xd
That's an interesting topic. Are there more birds like that in Ireland and in France? Don't underestimate some people's determination to introduce foreign species to new places on the quiet.
I have seen a species of duck in Saint Petersburg, north west of Russia which usually live either in Atlantic, from Iceland to N. America, or in Far East. Many other people have seen that individual as well. He kept returning to Neva river at least for 5 years in a row
That's a pretty cool video! That's wild to see that many NA birds making all the way to the UK! It has to be amazing for a creature to just pick up and leave, fly to wherever they wish to without worrying about immigration laws! 😆
Beautiful, thanks for sharing! The belted kingfisher is my city's bird. Halifax, Nova Scotia. An important birding area here is at risk - Hartlen Point. There is a petition online.
I saw a blackburian warbler in Colorado which amazed me because that's so far west of it's range but if they make it all the way to the UK then I guess they just go wherever they want!
Then recently we have Bob the racing pigeon that accidentally flew to Alabama. We don't know enough about bird navigation. Be an interesting clip in its own right.
When I was a lad in the late seventies / early eighties, I would accompany my late Father on many "twitches" around the UK to see rare birds and we also stayed on the Scilly Isles for 2 weeks every Autumn to see the many American 'rarities' that turned up there. Over those years, I saw plenty of US birds here in the UK including: Scarlet Tanager, Belted Kingfisher, Rose Breasted Grosbeak, Bobolink, Blackpoll Warbler, Parula Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Swainson's Thrush, American Nighthawk, Black Duck, American Coot, American Redstart and various species of American 'Waders'.
Dodgy winds confusing them probably. Beautiful birds tho I hope they’re alright when they get here. See some early swallows here on years you wouldn’t want to be early. Late April / May full on northerly blasts late frosts are a bit of a trend the past couple years. I hope the right ones get here tho and it’s a worthwhile trip and they come back
I live in the Pacific Northwest, so I've never seen most of these birds either! I'd love to see a Rose Breasted Grosbeak or a Scarlet Tanager. We do have Evening Grosbeaks and Western Tanagers (gorgeous yellow, orange, scarlet and black) and of course hummingbirds. Do you ever get hummingbirds in the U.K.?
I can just imagine the attention the Belted Kingfisher got. Other than it being larger than your native Kingfisher, the bird's crest and call give it away. Its call is a loud, noisy rattle that can easily be heard before the bird is seen.
A lots opf these American passerines may travel at least a part of their way not solely by their wings but as stowaways on ships. That's why the Scillies (UK), Cape Clear Island (IRL) and the Ile d'Oussant (F) are such hotspots for such rarities as these islands are the first spots of land that can be seen from a ship at the end of the Trans-Atlantic route.
Some other bird that could've made the list are red winged blackbird, mlnorthern Mockingbird, least bittern, royal tern, yellow bellied Flycatcher, eastern king bird, and great blue heron
Some larger birds also make the journey and may well survive for several years. Ring-billed gulls are not uncommon in the UK and I have also seen ring-necked ducks. Shorebirds are also prone to do this, reaching Western Ireland and the Scilly Isles. I must have seen half a dozen American vagrants including American golden plover, short-billed dowitcher, lesser yellowlegs, buff-breasted and stilt sandpipers in Europe.
Should have added the Cape Gull at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire It was the first ever for the UK Unfortunately I was working in Northumberland at the time and was impossible for me to see it.
I can imagine what those birds thought upon reaching the UK.. “Oh its freezing here! But I can buy cuban products and haggis and I can cross the road wherever I want” 😂😂😂
Oh we have random sightings of European birds too (I live other east coast of the U.S) aloooooopt of birds get lost along the way I saw fed a European blue robin. Had no idea how it got here. But, I laid out mill worms and cardinal seeds, suet (just for him and hoping catbirds, cowbirds, and starlings wouldn't destroy it) and yeah. It made it through winter then disappeared.
There are no close relatives in the uk to new world oriole I am afraid, so the bird if still alive it is biologically dead. Song birds often die quickly because they arrive in poor condition after a long flight across the Atlantic
It's simple really, The amount of telecoms towers that have been put up around the world is interfering with the birds sense of direction through their magnetic compass.
American Robin ..."the most abundant bird in N America" ? Last I knew, Dark-Eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) were estimated at a population of 1 billion +/- 100M. As for the misdirected birds meeting a bad end, because they disappeared...? Don't assume that. A couple years ago, I had a juvenile warbler of some sort hanging around (in upstate NY, which is rather harsh for warbler in winter) . There was a mixed flock in November for a few days, but after they left, one remained. It was a bit scrawny at first, & I didn't expect it to last much longer, but spent it most of most days around my suet feeders. It bulked up somewhat, & I had some hope then. In early February, it started showing the colors of a female Yellow-Rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata). Then in the 2nd week of February, it warmed up for 5 days. By the end of that time, the Y-R Warbler "disappeared". Figured that it was strong enough, so moved on. Saw one passing through that fall, for a couple of days. Like to think it was her, again, getting it right this time, stopping on her way south . :)
Oh.. wow folks in the UK are serious about their bird watching. I feel like if things happened in reverse, most Americans would shrug their shoulders, maybe take a picture and ask what bird it is with little fanfare. I dun think it would attract any tourists... but maybe I just don't know the bird watcher scene
I know you are British and probably don’t know this but when you mentioned the Baltimore Oriole I keep thinking about the American 🇺🇸 Major League Baseball ⚾️ team the Baltimore Orioles, which the team did get its name from the bird 🐦 as the Baltimore Oriole is the Maryland State bird 🐦.
Although a lot of the time it is probably true, I don't like the constant assumption it's an accident and gone the wrong way... Some birds of the same species leave the UK for the winter while others stay... they are birds they are native everywhere they can survive.
Imagine thinking you’re going to South America to get to the warm weather during the winter and then ending up in the highlands of Scotland 😂 lol, lmao even
West to East strange bird migration happens all the time in the Northern hemisphere. I'd be impressed if a North American bird was spotted in China or Russia.
not a bird but Monarch butterflys actually made it from time to time too into europe they actually even had once a breeding population near Spain/north africa together with the african monarch but diet out during a cold snap a few years later
Have people tried to introduce them? Because that was a thing with Politicians giving each other "Gifts" of new wildlife to try out in your ecosystem. There are game birds all over North America where they should not be. And Musk Ox in Siberia.
no monrchs actualyl made it on theyr own here there also certain populations on islands and on asia (they get hit by a storm while migrating and then end up flying around until they find land or die muskoxes where nativ in europa but went extinct in most parts then got reintroduced animals who got here on purpose /gifts Bluejays ,grey squirrels ,largemout and striped bass ,bluegills ,bullfrogs ,racoons ,rainbowtrouts and a few more but many of them do realyl realyl bad here in europe like bullfrogs are only around one area and like 2 lakes a few ponds in it same for largemouths and striped bass even theyr here since over 100 years now
As I sit here in my kitchen looking out the window at my feeders, there are at least 20 English Sparrows in my yard. I find it hard to believe American Robins outnumber them in the U.S. In my area, Southeastern Pennsylvania, they are THE most ubiquitous bird. As a non-native species, they are slowly supplanting our native species, and contributing to their extinction. I can go days without seeing any other kind of bird here. I wish with all my heart that I could send all the English/House Sparrows back to the U.K. where I've heard they are in decline, which I find extremely hard to believe, because they are such thugs here.

Really good video.😊 keep it up!
Thank you i appreciate it :)
I see Blackburnian Warblers a lot. Can you please do european birds that flew to the USA?
Sparrows are more abundant then robins, next to robins I'd say is mourning doves/pigeons.
Some Robins stay over the winter.
I really like the way your channel has grown. Keep making interesting videos.
I live in Eastbourne and I was pretty sure I saw that bird here (American robin) but I didn’t really think anything of it….so cool😂😂
Pretty aqua spotted birds eggs. This video clip is interesting. Thanks for sharing 🙂
awesome video
Thanks i appreciate it :)
Funny seeing so many people flock to see a Robin since I’m just so used to seeing them outside my window pretty regularly
extreme weather is likely to bring them to places far away.
First trick to being an American bird in the UK is to be found on the East Coast.
I'd bet there are several West Coast birds that have found their way to Asia and could get their own video
That's an interesting topic. Are there more birds like that in Ireland and in France? Don't underestimate some people's determination to introduce foreign species to new places on the quiet.
yeah. a snapping turtle was found in a drain in australia.

When I was a lad in the late seventies / early eighties, I would accompany my late Father on many "twitches" around the UK to see rare birds and we also stayed on the Scilly Isles for 2 weeks every Autumn to see the many American 'rarities' that turned up there.
Over those years, I saw plenty of US birds here in the UK including: Scarlet Tanager, Belted Kingfisher, Rose Breasted Grosbeak, Bobolink, Blackpoll Warbler, Parula Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Swainson's Thrush, American Nighthawk, Black Duck, American Coot, American Redstart and various species of American 'Waders'.
I suppose the Least Bittern that appeared a few weeks ago would fit here nicely
Dodgy winds confusing them probably. Beautiful birds tho I hope they’re alright when they get here. See some early swallows here on years you wouldn’t want to be early.

Very interesting!
You should do a video on domestic animals that have gone feral
Very interesting , i love .....
Birds don't accidentally fly anywhere, there have one of the most honed directional system in the entire animal kingdom
There was a Green Heron that flew over from America to Britain fairly recently. Probably within the last 3 years
A lots opf these American passerines may travel at least a part of their way not solely by their wings but as stowaways on ships.

Unfortunately I was working in Northumberland at the time and was impossible for me to see it.
I never saw birds travel from Europe. Usually captive exotic birds escape from cages.
One of the largest predators of nestling song birds in our area are deer, who just wonder up to a nest in a tree and grab a snack of the baby birds.
I had a family friend who was on the local news cause her backyard was covered with 250 Robins at one time.
@ 7:58 Wait i've seen that bird before? That's definitely walked over here from Germany that one lol
How about Big Birds?
The best video
I can imagine what those birds thought upon reaching the UK..
“Oh its freezing here! But I can buy cuban products and haggis and I can cross the road wherever I want”

Ya the red breasted Robin is very common in Missouri
How about the Canada goose?
Someone brought those over on purpose. And it was not and act of war or anything but a "Gift".
The Canada Goose. Canada's most hated bird. Loud, aggressive, pushy and obnoxious.. Most Canadians think they should be called Toronto geese.🤣
And they officially became British drinking tea 😂
uhhhh... did I go the wrong way?
About the Baltimore Oriole,
What makes you guys think it passed away after flying away?
Hopefully it found a close relative and made a mix breed.
There are no close relatives in the uk to new world oriole I am afraid, so the bird if still alive it is biologically dead. Song birds often die quickly because they arrive in poor condition after a long flight across the Atlantic
I wonder if some birds establish breeding populations in invasive areas by accidentally flying there.
Must be a lot of birdwatchers out there.
If enough got into the uk could a population be established? Wernt nene birds evolved from Canadian geese that accidentally flew to Hawaii
They came on the QE2
Great vid, but for me the German Shepard was the star.
It's simple really, The amount of telecoms towers that have been put up around the world is interfering with the birds sense of direction through their magnetic compass.

guess the robin mistook old England for New England…completely understandable mistake 🤣

Have people tried to introduce them? Because that was a thing with Politicians giving each other "Gifts" of new wildlife to try out in your ecosystem. There are game birds all over North America where they should not be. And Musk Ox in Siberia.
no monrchs actualyl made it on theyr own here there also certain populations on islands and on asia (they get hit by a storm while migrating and then end up flying around until they find land or die
muskoxes where nativ in europa but went extinct in most parts then got reintroduced
animals who got here on purpose /gifts
Bluejays ,grey squirrels ,largemout and striped bass ,bluegills ,bullfrogs ,racoons ,rainbowtrouts and a few more
but many of them do realyl realyl bad here in europe
like bullfrogs are only around one area and like 2 lakes a few ponds in it same for largemouths and striped bass
even theyr here since over 100 years now
Can you blame them?
Have any U.K birds ever flown to the U.S?
poor birdies
As I sit here in my kitchen looking out the window at my feeders, there are at least 20 English Sparrows in my yard. I find it hard to believe American Robins outnumber them in the U.S. In my area, Southeastern Pennsylvania, they are THE most ubiquitous bird. As a non-native species, they are slowly supplanting our native species, and contributing to their extinction. I can go days without seeing any other kind of bird here. I wish with all my heart that I could send all the English/House Sparrows back to the U.K. where I've heard they are in decline, which I find extremely hard to believe, because they are such thugs here.
oddly I heard that, in some areas of the US, the English sparrow is seen less each year.
Probably ppl releasing them
