Birdwatching
🕑 Added 2024-11-17 18:53:40 +0000 UTCJoin me at a nature reserve for some birdwatching.
this is a bit of an experiment. i went to a nature reserve far from my home, so i could film safely. i'm mostly satisfied with the quality, but not so much the length. weather conditions were against me, it was busier than i expected it to be with plenty of other people about, and the best birdhide that i wanted to shoot at was closed! ah well - this just gives me a reason to try again, which i probably will do soon. i'll remember to bring a tripod next time, too.
the birds you'll see in this include:
Black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
Eurasian coot (Fulica atra)
Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus)
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus)
Mute swan (Cygnus olor)
Common tern (Sterna hirundo)
and birds that are mainly heard, but not seen much or at all, include:
Blackbird (Turdus merula)
Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
Carrion crow (Corvus corone)
Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Rook (Corvus frugilegus)
Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)
and probably many other hedgerow birds common in the UK - tits of all kinds, sparrows, pigeons, etc. let me know if you see or hear anything interesting not in this list!
it was quite a busy day, so there are also sounds of some people moving around, and i think at one point i passed a cricket match being played or something like that. next time i'll go on a quieter day, or perhaps go somewhere else.
i think my favourite part is at 9:50, where you can just about see and most certainly hear a mute swan almost taking off, but then appearing to give up. it's so loud, despite being quite a distance away.
enjoy :)

I can't believe you got footage of a heron!! I've been trying, in vain, to take good quality photos of a heron, for ages now

I just started birding last summer in the US and I use the Merlin app often. This was so fun! Many birds were new to me. Lovely spot to listen as well. I'd love more of this...maybe even peculiar weather events?

oh yes, egyptian geese! i knew i had forgotten something big
Evie
I love this so much. One of my new favourites. Going to be revisiting this often. Thank you. Are those Egyptian geese at 13:44? I love those guys. Very silly of them to be called geese when they're ducks.

This was amazing, unexpected but very very welcome. Just what I needed today ๐
