That are such beautiful birds. We didn’t have a very good sighting on this trip. Hopefully next time o get to see them better.

Thanks ☺️

No I don’t do bird tours. I recommend Paul Thomson from wildfoto up there, he is excellent.

A lot of time goes into seeing these birds. In the videos it may look like they are everywhere but in reality there is a LOT of down between sightings usually. Make sure the area you go is know for lots of bird activity, ebird is a useful website to help you work out where they are

Thank you for watching one of my older video, before I discovered the joy of bird photography.

Well worth the effort if you are a nature lover

Thank you. Costa Rica was amazing, you will have a great time. I was using 500mm focal length. Sometimes it was a little too long when the larger birds were closer (toucan, curassow etc)

Wow that is a long time to go with not seeing them there. Whey were reasonably common when we were there.

Thank you. It was one of those shots I didn’t realise I had taken until I got home and looked at the images. One of my favourites from that trip

Before this I only had distant sightings through a car window, was very cool having one right in front of us, and not care that we were there!

Thank you. It’s a beautiful part of the country

I’m thinking the same, very happy with that photo. I’m actually flying to USA 🇺🇸 later today, just to California and doing a little bit of birding

While Australian wildlife seems generally pretty crazy, over here it's the people. I wish you safe and pleasant travels. It'll be interesting to hear/see your take on our wildlife. You're seeing the better half of the US from that standpoint. I suspect we have pretty dull wildlife due to our, basically, bulldozing of the country throughout the past. We shall see, and get some good close-ups of it too. 🤞Best of luck!

It sure is! Yes Fogg dam is also amazing, check out my previous video for birds from that location.

That is a good tip for anyone on the lookout

@@RogerMacKertich You can get some Gouldians out there if your lucky, we weren't.🤷

☺️ hope you enjoyed this one

It’s is pretty cool 😎

Have a great adventure when you go. Check my previous video for locations around Darwin. I’m using a Nikon Z9 with a 400mm2.8, most of the waterhole birds I also used a 2xTC.

Thanks

Sounds like an amazing trip. Our country is so big it is hard to know where to stay overnight and where to keep driving, no matter where you go there are usually interesting birds to see.

That’s awesome, they are an impressive bird

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Thank you. It is a great place to visit for some very different birds

Thank you so much for the great feedback. I know when I am travelling I also look for bird videos for locations we are travelling, they are so helpful. I hope I have given you plenty of locations to check out. Where are you coming from?

@@RogerMacKertich We live in Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a very popular birding destination because it has the most hummingbirds of any place in the US and we also have many other birds that you can't find anywhere else in the US.

Hello Joe from Sydney. My wife & I have visited the NT in 2022 & this year. Apart from sports & family, I am a keen wildlife photographer, particularly birds. Fogg Dam & Corroberee Billabong were my favourite places to shoot. Make sure you take the Waterlillies walk at Fogg Dam. In 2022, I was lucky to capture a Water Python devouring its prey on that walk. The snakes usually hunt nocturnally. I hope you enjoy your visit to Australia, as we have done visiting yours (6 times, 39/50 States). Cheers, John.

Thank you. I am located in Sydney. I don’t do birding tours but happy to take you out sometime if you want

Thank you Shelley. I wish I had more time there, need to make another trip up north.

Thank you so much for your comment, it’s feedback like this that makes all the effort worthwhile.

Thank you Gil. I’m glad I can bring these birds into your home.

Thank you Sonia. I was quite partial to the ducks too, nice to see something different than the usual black ducks and teals.

@@RogerMacKertich loved the Storks too! Amazing colours ❤

Thanks ☺️

Thank you ☺️

Thank you for your comments. I glad you enjoyed it, if you haven’t check out my latest video to see some of our most amazing birds.

Check my video from Joseph Banks park where I explain exactly that. Thank you for all your comments

Ok I’ll look into it

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. The egrets really did put on a bit of a dance while I was there, was glad I could capture some of it.

Thank you K. Would you believe that this was only 1/2 the trip (2 days) I have another video coming with the rest of the trip around Pine Creek. Thank you for commenting as it really helps the video. I am going to make a point of commenting on several of yours too (which I love)

@@RogerMacKertich Wow you saw some great birds in 2 days! Looking forward to part 2 of the NT trip 😀I know it will be great!! We're a bit envious of your camera stabilisation!! I know how fun it is to read comments! It always inspires me to make better videos (still learning as I go!) and yeah it does help to get noticed even more on YT which really helps🙂 I have to remember to comment more on your videos too!

@@naturephotographychallenge most of the video was done from a boat too. So that was extra tricky. I do get a heap of unused footage that is out of focus/way too shaky to use. I only shoot handheld too (maybe 5% on tripod) as I like the freedom it gives me.

It all sounds so brutal. I am actually not sure if the cuckoo-shrikes behave the same as cuckoos. Must do some research on that.

One day I’d love to get to HK for some bird photography.

in this video almost all the birds are resident species. We have quite a number of birds that are migratory, none in this video though.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed it.

I wish I had more time to spend there. We were only three for 3-4 hours. Amazing place for birds.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! Hopefully one day I get over there to photograph your birds

Thank you. It was a fun adventure

No problem 👍

Any time!

No worries

Any time! Glad you enjoyed

Cheers

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
