Very helpful, Dave!
Glad it was helpful!
@ hoping to find one in Thailand!
Thank Dave that was great to watch. not sure if we get little Stint on the east coast of Australia
Hi Darin, They do show up there from time to time I believe
Very restricted dusky marks along the flanks.... just can't get this.
I.e. almost not there!
Where is it again?🤣😂
This is wonderful, thank you.
This video is very low in volume.
@@markrigg6623 Yes. Sorry about that. I tried various mics
@@davebakewell6742 No dramas. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of it. 👍
Excellent bird observation footage. A big LIKE for the video. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber here. A birder from Singapore. Happy birding!!!!👍🔔
Many thanks
Hi dave can i use this video as a sound for my uni project? i will credit you in the project tho
@@Meh-cj4xw Yes, go ahead
@@davebakewell6742 Thank you very much
We found that bird foraging in the beach of north Manokwari, Papua Barat.
Very nice comparison!
Very good work!
Very informative video. Thank you!
Thanks Folkert
Thanks for preparing and sharing this.
You're most welcome
Fantastic, thanks for your efforts.
Great video. Thank you
Great video Dave - much to learn
Interesting video. The bird is obviously foraging visually before using its bill to test probe.
Excellent informative video - thanks for putting it together and sharing. Great for us here in NZ.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Dave
Excellent Dave. Thanks for all your wonderful uploads 👏
Thanks. Your kind words are a motivation to produce more!
Superb! It was a worthwhile endavour, distinguishing wader topography from overall bird topography. Unlike in e.g. passerines, primary coverts are pretty much invisible, covered by scapulars. Likewise, tertials are pretty much invisible in wading birds in flight, as opposed to passerines. So there are noticable differences. Thanks for the effort! BTW, Dave, Is there a set number of primaries/secondaries/tertiaries in wading birds? I mean like set in stone. In small passerines we always have 18 in total: 9p+6s+3t.
Thanks for your encouraging words and great question, which led to me learning a lot! According to "Chamberlain's Waders" by Faansie Peacock and the Birds of the World website, all shorebirds have 10 "functioning" primaries and most have a vestigial outermost 11th (only Painted-Snipes, Jacanas and Buttonquails lack this). The number of secondaries varies from 10-20 (more in larger species like Thick-knees, Oystercatchers, Stilts and Crab-Plover) and the number of tertials from 3-5. The number of tail feathers is 12 in most genera, with the exception of Jacanas (only 10 tail feathers), Painted-Snipes (14) and "true" Snipes (12-28).
@@davebakewell6742 Wow, thanks for the extraordinarily detailed reply. 👍 I have one more question, if that's ok, but it has to do with bird anatomy in general, rather than waders specifically. Namely: for the life of me, I am still unsure about the tertials. Seen so many sources claiming that those 3-5 (depending on the family/genus) innermost flight feathers, that you can observe on top of secondaries and primaries in a closed wing are not 'true tertials' but simply last few secondaries. True tertials being those NOT stemming from the ulna but from the skin underneath the humerus (hence most sources claim tertials are not true flight feathers, due to their not attaching to the bone, unlike primaries and secondaries). I'm still confused. Which is which. Are the tertials you identify in your videos true tertials? If so, how do those 'false' tertials look like, and what are their distinguishing features - why would ornitholigists differentiate them from the remaining secondaries?
@birdwatcherlubuski You come up with some really good questions! After doing a bit of searching on this, I can't come up with a definitive answer for you. The way Birds of the World phrases it is something like "15-16 secondaries, including 3-5 tertials", suggesting that they are on the fence about what tertials really are, and how many there are. In these videos, I have somewhat simplified things, to make them of as much practical use to beginner birders as possible. For example, I didn't label humeral coverts, which are barely ever visible in the field. Perhaps, hopefully, someone reading these comments might be able to give us a better answer!
@@davebakewell6742 Yes, let's hope so. Thank you for your time, Dave. 😊
The Chinese Egret is a new one on me, thanks for the natural history lesson!
Very informative, thank you. Where is the part 4 (of bird in flight)., though?
Coming soon! I just took a break.
Great to hear. Take your time, Dave, eagerly looking forward to watching it. @@davebakewell6742
Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing just recently. I don't know how red or thick those species' knees are, but I suspect you are right, they are misnamed. 😊
Very interesting video and the pointing out of the knee and the ankel. Now I am just wondering about names like Thick-knee and Red-kneed Dotterel. Are they in fact misnamed ?
That's a good point! Without looking inside those species, I can't say for sure!
Thanks for this Dave. Very instructive…as always.
Nice and beautiul video. Thanks for sharing so wonderful video & bg like

Great stuff! I also pbulish some wildlife in slow-motion:)
Cool, thanks!
These videos are incredible. How I wish we could see more.😊
Thanks
Hi there, Larissa Waterson here from ABC North West Qld. We’re writing an article on the amazing sharp-tailed sandpiper and I came across your beautiful video. Would we be able to use this in the article with full credit to you? Let me know, cheers.
For sure Larissa. Glad to be of help.
Hello Dave, is Kuala Baram a high tide roost for the waders?
Yes, although not a large one.
@@davebakewell6742 alright thank you. I'll try my luck during the high tide when I'm in Miri. Seems like all the action is at Buntal bay now haha
this is awesome footage! May I ask what camera you used?
Thanks Janina. I used a GoPro 5.
Nice..I hope it come to sg..
It is calling like a cat!
Nice capture👍👍
Thanks Dave.
Some fascinating shots of waders here..my local patch was on The Wash, in eastern England, until recently..ruffs always looked stouter around the neck there..but non breeding plumage, same as this. Brunei..wonder what takes someone with a very English name there?...oil perhaps. Videos are somehow most enjoyable! Thanks.
