  • Perfect for the casual birdwatcher, or someone wanting an idea of what birds you can find on a typical visit.
    In this episode we visit the Blue Mountains and surrounds. Only 45 mins from Sydney,.
    Some of the birds we see include Regent Honeyeater, Eastern Spinebill, Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Golden Whistler and many more.
    Filmed and photographed with a Nikon Z9 and a 400 MM f2.8 lens, with iPhone 15 used for wide shots.

    Australia has so many beautiful bird species that gives one so much scope for the imagination. Thankyou for the insight to these Aussie birds in this part of NSW😎👏👍

    Howdy ! I love birds and I use a Nikon p1000 with a tripod . You can get so close that the birds feathers look ike lace . With a lower end 4K resolution , I'd highly recommend it to anyone shooting birds : )

    The Golden Whistler resembles the Cinerious Tit found in Hong Kong SAR.

    Excellent footage and narrative, thank you!!
    A bit of audio leveling could make this an even better documentary. If the music were down ~6dB, the calls and your insightful narrative would remain in "focus". Thanks again, and cheers from North Carolina, US.

    • @RogerMacKertich
      @RogerMacKertich  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you for the helpful feedback. For most of the bird videos there is actually no calls, just wind noise or people talking, so music is necessary to make it ‘interesting’. I will drop the volume in future videos though (maybe 😉)

      Thank you for the lovely feedback. I have made a point of my bird videos to completely avoid being a ‘talking head on travel’ or doing anything gear related. Even though those sorts of videos get lots of views there are plenty of excellent channels out there with great information, I would just be talking about the same stuff.

    Hey Roger! another awesome birding video. Next year I will be coming to Australia in June and touring Sydney, Alice Springs, Cairns, and all of the areas surrounding those towns. I'll be spending about 2 days in Sydney and 1 in the blue mountains. Do you have any recommendations on places to go around Sydney to see the most amount of different types of birds and get the most photo opportunities? Thanks a ton for making these videos. They are super helpful!

    • @RogerMacKertich
      @RogerMacKertich  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you. That sound like an amazing trip. Honestly with only 2 days in Sydney I would probably just go to the Botanic gardens in the CBD. There are quite a number of our popular birds there, Kookaburra, Cockatoo, rainbows lorikeets, cormorants, waterhens and more. Plus you will be near the opera house etc, so worth visiting.

    • @MrBerry67
      @MrBerry67 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Can I suggest that you check the Blue Mountains national park website beforehand - only because a large number of the most popular walking trails have been closed over the past couple of years, predominantly due to landslides and the like from wet weather. At least you will know what is open and what isnt
