In my neighbour's yard is a huge Syringa tree in which a pair of "kwe-voėls' nest and frolic in the Northern suburbs of Egoli. What an iconic call they have!
When I was very young I was gifted a cassette tape from our visit to the Kruger National Park named, Calls of the Bushveld, an iconic recording. One of the recordings was the emerald spotted dove. The narrator described it as the dove mourning, "My father is dead, my mother is dead, all of my children are dead and my heart weeps" in Afrikaans it really captures the emotion of the call of the emerald spotted dove.
Glad you enjoyed it. Scroll through my TH-cam channel for many more sound videos. I have over 2 000 videos with bird calls from all around Southern Africa.
They tend to lurk deep in foliage. I am lucky as I have a small tree outside bedroom of my double-storey house. The Burchell's coucal often uses that foliage and from tge window I can sometimes see it quite well.
Wonderful! Glad you found it. Here is another video of mine with the Burhcell's Coucal, also known as the Rain Bird because they often sing just before it rains: th-cam.com/video/GJzaB-IkRAk/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nazeer, welcome to my channel. Thanks for the feedback. I try and add narration as much as possible because I have another blind subscriber called Collette and I actually taught her when she was in my preschool many years back. She suggested a while ago that I add more narration to my videos, so that she knew what was going on. So I try and explain what each sound is that is going to play next. If you have any more suggestions I would be most grateful. I try and include everyone.
So baie dankie. Dis heerlik om die voëls beter te leer ken saam met jou. En dankie vir die Afrikaanse name. Ek moet nou 2 wat ek nie ken nie, se Afrikaanse name gou opsoek
No, barbets are not related to woodpeckers. The only similarity between the two species is that they both excavate nesting holes in tree trunks because their beaks are robust and strong.
That red breasted Thrush I hear just every morning. Beautiful then I know I am alive.😅. Doesn't this sound, sound much like a "Red Robbin" 🤔. A South African Red Robbin...😊
Apparently the American Robin is actually a type of thrush? Is that correct? If so, that will explain why the American Robin sounds like thrushes when it sings.
I could do that but isn't it better to announce the name first, so you know what you are listening to? I do sound quizzes now and again where I play the call and then much later on in the video, I give the answers.
I am Diederik - that aroused great interest in one of my dogs, as did the Wood Dove. And just where is that Pearl Spotted Owlet? Today’s video was a very exciting one for dogs! Thank you, as always it was very enjoyable. (Dog got up from the couch at the call from the Go-away bird! 🫢🤔😊)
Thank you Lynette. Nothing more peaceful than starting the day with birdcalls. 😊
I agree! It's so peaceful and therapeutic listening to bird song.
@@buffalo7123 a special bird with a special bubbling call.
In my neighbour's yard is a huge Syringa tree in which a pair of "kwe-voėls' nest and frolic in the Northern suburbs of Egoli. What an iconic call they have!
I love their unique call!
I ❤listening to all these sounds. Some of them I hear every day, but I can't see the specific bird. Now I know, thank you🤗
You're welcome 😊

That is what some birders still say that it is singing. I love that call. The call of the thick bush in summer.
My all time favourite creatures!!!!!.😊
What is the afrikaans name the night jar
Keep voel sounds much better
Kwe
Thank you Lynette.
I needed these to refresh my memory of what they sound like.
Looking forwards to your next lot.
Glad you enjoyed it. Scroll through my TH-cam channel for many more sound videos. I have over 2 000 videos with bird calls from all around Southern Africa.
Thank you Lynette, takes me right back home
Yip, the sounds of Southern Africa.
Lovely and nostalgic
Yes, some really nostalgic bird calls in this video.
Yes I did enjoy, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice to hear the birds call. Thanx for the interesting video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Makes me miss my father. He was fond of birds. Hi From Elephant Park.
I'm sure he would have enjoyed all these calls.
@@lynetterudman yes you did know him. 🤗
Sublime. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
So glad to see the Rainbird.Been hearing this bird for 60 yrs.Never knew what this bird looked like!!❤🎉🎉
Glad you now know what the Burchell's Coucal looks like. Here is a video about them that I made a while back: th-cam.com/video/lvLpvO6086M/w-d-xo.html
They tend to lurk deep in foliage. I am lucky as I have a small tree outside bedroom of my double-storey house. The Burchell's coucal often uses that foliage and from tge window I can sometimes see it quite well.
So happy i found this video. There is a Burchell's Coucal in one of our trees and its the most beautifull sound. Now I know what it looks like :)
Wonderful! Glad you found it. Here is another video of mine with the Burhcell's Coucal, also known as the Rain Bird because they often sing just before it rains: th-cam.com/video/GJzaB-IkRAk/w-d-xo.html

Hi Lynette blind person here, putting names to some of the sounds i hear. Thank you.

Wanneer ek 'n vreemde voël hoor gaan ek eerste na jou kanaal. 😊
Dankie, ek hoop jy vind die voël.
Brilliant... Brilliant... Brilliant. Now I can definitely go to sleep better, absolutely soothing.😊😅😂
Wonderful! Glad it will help you sleep better.
So baie dankie. Dis heerlik om die voëls beter te leer ken saam met jou. En dankie vir die Afrikaanse name. Ek moet nou 2 wat ek nie ken nie, se Afrikaanse name gou opsoek
Watter twee? Ek sal probeer help.
@@lynetterudman een was toe die suidelike waterfiskaal. En ek kén hom
Thank you for the rain bird. They are often around where we stay on the KZN south coast. Wondered if you were going to include it 🤩🤩😍😍
Yip, I had to include it. It's such an iconic unique call that sounds like bubbling water.
Lovely thanks. Kurrichane also pronounced curry-ken.
Good to know! Thanks for that. I have been told which language it originates from but can't remember now.
Uitstekende werk Lynette. Dit is regtig spesiaal. Oorweeg dit asb om die Afrikaanse name ook by te sit. Indien dit moontlik is.🌈
Dankie, ek sal probeer om the Afrikaanse naam by te voeg.
Thank you Lynette.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this part 2 video.
Beautiful Thank you for sharing God Bless 🤩😍😍
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Dankie, Lynette. Te pragtig om na te luister. Het jy al die visarend gedoen? Ek kan nou nie onthou nie 😊
Ja, die visarend was in the part 1 video. th-cam.com/video/LtL3LhmuUtA/w-d-xo.html
Apparently Kurrychane is a misrendition of the Tswana name for the old tribal settlement/town of Ka-di-chwane
Thanks for that. Nice to know where that word comes from.
Ain't the Barber a Woodpecker.

I am not from SA, what does the Rainbow Chicken sound like?
The only Rainbow Chicken that I know is a company that sells chicken pieces to eat. Domestic chickens...
Could you play the bird song first wait a few seconds then announce the name ?
I could do that but isn't it better to announce the name first, so you know what you are listening to? I do sound quizzes now and again where I play the call and then much later on in the video, I give the answers.
I was thinking it would be nice to have a chance to guess before you hear the name

Lol, I should make a video for dogs!
