    Hello John! What great birdwatching ! I love to see egrets catching fish. In my opinion the little egret is the most skillful because of its footwork. And that Egyptian goose should be in Africa! Loved the goslings and the barnacle geese . And of course that bluethroat is so amazing ! Beautiful, unfoundable except in Scandinavia and singing ! What lovely blue shining in the sun! ☀️ ! Thank you for this great moment ! And you had sunshine too! I wish you good weather and great luck. The young moorhen also was nice!🤗🤗👋👋🍀🍀‼️

      Thank you Patricia! It was a lovely sunny day although a little windier than predicted. I was very lucky to see the Bluethroat, although it’s been returning to the same spot for the last three years it can be quite elusive! A bird native to Scandinavia and one from Africa both seen within 30 minutes and half a mile of each other was quite something! I’m in Pembrokeshire at the moment, the weather is improving and I’m optimistic I might see something worth recording. Best of luck to you too. 😊👍

    Thật xinh đẹp dễ thương , và thư giãn khi xem các loài chim ở đó .
    Green Sandpiper rất khó nhìn thấy màu xanh của chân nếu bị dính đầy bùn .
    Những đám cỏ thật xanh tốt , và đẹp .
    Bluethroat rất xinh đẹp đáng yêu . 😊💖

      Cảm ơn Mai, hi vọng thảm cỏ xanh sẽ khiến bạn cảm thấy mát mẻ. Nó nằm trên một con sông lớn có tên là River Severn ở Anh và mất khoảng 40 phút đi ô tô nhưng tôi luôn thấy ở đó có những điều thú vị và rất thích ghé thăm.💖😊

      Thanks Mick! The Bluethroat wasn't found by me but it has returned for 4 years to the same patch. Wish it could find a mate but as you know it's very unlikely on Severnside!

      Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I wish I had found the Bluethroat myself but it’s been there on and of for the last three years, always singing but sadly no female has been around to respond! 😊

    Apparently it’s showing well at the moment but can’t imagine it keeping it up until mid-July.

    How long did you have to wait for the bluethroat to show?
    I’ve been out off by horror stories of 4 hour waits etc

      @johnluk  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Tim. It wasn’t that long, about 25 minutes, but after seeing it it didn’t pop up again. Seems to like sunny conditions. A couple of days after I recorded this somebody reported it showing every twenty minutes or so.

    Near the end of the video, was that the sight of the sea and some sea cliffs and foliage?

      Hi! No that’s Westbury Garden Cliffs on the bank of the River Severn.
