Loved this. Thank you.
Informative video, thanks.
Nice one.
Eastern Whip Bird. Easy to hear, but hard to see. Sounds familiar.
Excellent, thanks.
very good spotting in a beautiful area. you know your birds. goodonya mate. yes more please
Thank you. Stay tuned 🙂
This is just what I want from birding videos in SEQ. There are so many american youtubers so it's great to see some local Qld birds.
Thank you 🙂
I really enjoyed this walk with you. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏼
Thank you for watching. New video this afternoon 🙂
I really enjoyed this video. Here in Norway, we have late winter now, so your walk made me feel like I was in a warmer climate.
Please more of this videoes. Thanks
Wow I wasn't expecting viewers from the other side of the world. Glad you enjoyed the video. This motivates me to finish off the editing for the next one. Stay tuned ☺️ Thank you
Thank you and yes, more please
Thank you. Will do! 😊
What video gear do you use ? Vlogging camera ? What a treat seeing all thse lovely birds..thanks..😊
I'm so comforted to see that there is such an amazing variety of birds still in the Brisbane area...I live in Ipswich and I would estimate that there are fewer than 25% of the number of birds these days than when we first moved here in 2008.
Yeah, unfortunately most bird species numbers have declined more than half over the past 40 years 🙁
All the habitat destruction isn't helping. Even those "better" developers who are planting seedlings afterwards are not helping as much as it seems, as many of our bird species need mature aged trees (70+ years) to form a hollow for the birds to nest in. Hopefully us humans will learn before it's too late.
The best thing we can do is to educate and get out there. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Amazing! Variety of birds Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more 🙂
Amazing captures, thanks I enjoyed. New sub
Many thanks. Welcome 😊
after all the rain around Tabulam Nsw . I saw thousands of birds last week end .early April 2024
Cool, I'll have to check it out. Which site do you recommend?
@@birdwatchingse-qld2253 well I saw heaps of flocks from Casino to Tabulam .just across the Clarence river bridge is a wet land .
Thank you!
At 5:14 I heard a whip bird call....
Enjoyed the walk
😁
Thank you. No need to even leave home haha
Well done. I always hate how everyone else gets about double or more the number of species seen (or heard) on a walk at OCC! lol Oh well, time for another attempt.
Yeah that can be frustrating. Sometimes it's luck of the draw as to whether you get a "good bird day". OCC can get really busy with bikes and runners which tends to scare the birds away from the track. I find going at sunrise is best. Good luck 🍀
What a great video, do you have others? We have occasionally been to this location and never been disappointed, it is quite a drive to get there but definitely worthwhile. Your knowledge of the birds and their calls very interesting and your skill with the camera on these moving targets very good indeed.
Thank you so much for the feedback 🙂 I actually released a video yesterday on Samford Eco-corridor (30 min drive NW Brisbane). I've got another one in the works but it takes a few weeks to put it together. Stay tuned 🙂
Excellent one Rob. Good initiative
good on ya
It is amazing how you can hear the Archerfield Airport in the background in 2024
Yeah, it was a bugger editing out the noise from those low flying planes. Luckily at the start of the walk there wasn't much flight activity but it ramped up towards the end of the walk.
excellent walk Rob and yes, would like to see more of this. I personally find it hard to hear some of the bird calls, since they are high pitched and very soft (I have hearing issues). But nevertheless, really enjoyed this. I'm yet to see the RBEs there sadly, despite many visits.
I had a bit of an issue with the audio sound equipment during the walk but am working on it. Next one the calls and voice should hopefully be clearer. Not sure whether it'll be clear enough to help those experiencing difficulty with higher pitched calls, but fingers crossed 😊
Don't give up on those RBE (Rainbow Bee-Eaters). It's worth the search. They are often perched high in the trees and powerlines, if they fly off be patient, they often fly back to the same perch within a minute. Good luck
@@birdwatchingse-qld2253 Oh, I've seen RBEs before (Nudgee boardwalk, Leitch's crossing and Sandy Camp Wetlands). I have a few quite decent shots too.
It is unlikely that better audio will help me with those fainter, higher pitched calls. I have 80% hearing loss at 6khz in the Right ear and my Left isn't much better.
@@birdwatchingse-qld2253 I saw the RBEs for the first time a week and a half ago!
I lived near there when I was young in Inala at aged 13 to 15, how come they make the same noises in 2024?
