Very beatiful your birds
Thank you so much❤omg Australia
Beautifully done. Congratulations.
Well observed and documented. How I wish I could have been
Nice. Was hoping you'd spot some Gouldian finches, but good to see the Long Tails, Chestnut Breasted, Double Bar and Crimson finches. I love them all.
Love the content and narration of your videos, thank you.
My missus and I have recently been getting into birding. We live in the Darwin area so thanks very much for putting a few areas on the map for us!
Great to hear that Matt. That's why we make these films, so it's lovely to have some feedback that they're helping new birders.
@@alanadare7052 our pleasure! Incidentally - we are going to be in Adelaide next month. Is there any places that should be on our hitlist?!
Love these videos! Thank you for posting!
i know Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
Well done Greg & Alana. Another brilliant production.
Another cracking film - thank you! Appreciate you adding the details of the different races, especially given the great diversity within Australian species across their range.
Thanks . We're glad to know that was a worthwhile feature.
Been watching your videos and hope I can go around Australia birding sometime. I live halfway across the world and have some lovely friends there. I am always optimistic!
Another brilliant video! Such good footage, and Alana has a VERY good narrating voice. I love it, and also learn a lot. I'll list it among my Favourites, so I can rewatch whenever necessary. This is material that will get to good use when I at last can start preparing/planning for my own Australian adventure.
Another lovely video - still hoping to get to Australia and visit some of the places you have shown me, next years planned trip now postponed umtil Feb 2022. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks again.
Thank you Christine. Hope you make it down under in 2022. If SA is on your itinerary (probably not as it's not the first choice birding state) we'd love to get together with you.
Beautiful docu. Enjoyed. Like 21.
Love this documentary.
I love your videos. They’re very informative.
Thank you Mansour.
Cool birds on other side of world!
Great video! You deserve more subscribers 😃
Absolutely wonderful footage. A real gem for those of us who may never be able to fully see this wonderful land and stunning birdlife. Could you please detail the bird-calling 'phishing' device that Alana was seen using during the footage? Thanks again for sharing these images. . .Bruce.
Thanks Bruce. Sorry for the delay in replying. The squeaker is called an Audubon Squeaker. I bought it in Aus for $19.99 which is expensive for a little device, but it has proved its worth in attracting small birds to investigate and come to the front of thick bushes.After phishing for a while I feel like I have been sucking lemons! You can probably buy one from your local bird club.
Love to go birding with U.So informative
get in touch if this horrible plague ever goes away and you're in SA
@@alanadare7052 that would be amazing.saddly I have another plaque called War . .. but thanx for the great offer
Incredible footage and narration! Thank you both so much for sharing your adventures and knowledge with the world 😊
P.S I would love to see a Victorian journey one day if you happen to make your way down here. All the best ✌️
Love your channel! Great videography and wonderful quiet and intelligent observations. Where would you recommend for a first time visit to Australia in the latter half of July and early August? Have always dreamed of it and your videos have convinced me. Would be coming from California. Thanks!
Hi Greg,
Thank you. I would definitely go for the northern tropics, either Far North Queensland from Cairns or the Northern Territory from Darwin. Maybe both if time and money permit. At the moment you can actually see Gouldian and Star Finches at Lee Point about 2kms from Darwin airport. Normally you would have to travel to Katherine for a chance at them. However the government wants to clear the land there to build military accommodation and a shopping centre, so who knows how long a global eco attraction adjacent to a capital city will last!!
You're coming at a beautiful time of the year for northern Australia.
In the Northern Territory there are wonderful birds but greater distances to travel, mostly over dry savanna, to get to different habitats, so on balance I would choose going to Cairns and birding from there. There are so many different and accessible habitats within shorter distances, the tablelands to the west, the coast and Cape York to the north. At that time of the year you can drive up but probably best to do that with a guide. The roads can be pretty awful depending on damage in the wet season and they're having a lot of rain there at the moment. The birds are everywhere around Cairns and it's beautiful country. Hope you have a fantastic time.
Alana
Love your videos great filming great birds could I please ask what camera you us to film with.
Many thanks Steven UK
Hi Steven , the main camera I have been using has been the Panasonic Lumix FZ300 and Sony HDV FX7 with 2x extender. I broke this camera FX7 near the end of our Darwin trip when I was filming on a slope and had to buy a movie camera in Darwin and all they had was a Panasonic HDC SD60 with a 35x zoom but no viewfinder, so we had to film the rest of our trip, part 3&4 with this camera. Alana uses the Sony FDR AX60.
Thanks for your comments. Greg
Nice video's
Next videos bird of Indonesia 🙏
And it would have been but for Covid, though we have made one of Bali and Java.
Because of your footage right at the beginning of a long tailed finch bringing a duck or goose breast feather to line the nest with I started supplying my own pet long tailed finches with those feathers. Do not try cormorant feathers. Straight and stiff. The result is I have happier finches. I know because they are breeding now. Did you know you can train then like falcons? Their reward food is live mealworms. They have little fear of any kind of mammal but a special word for mouse. When they can see the television screen I sometimes watch Australian nature videos. Wedge-tailed eagles hold no interest but if a kookaburra calls they all panic.
lets hear the birds and not the musik
Thanks Marten. We appreciate you taking the time to comment. We do our best to use all of the original soundtrack that we can. Unfortunately, because there are only two of us, we can't control the conditions when we're filming. We often have to compete with ambient noise, aeroplanes, dirtbikes, wind, people talking etc. Also some of the birds don't choose to call. We don't dub the calls afterwards because we're only amateurs.
Shalom .Thank you. Watching from Australia. 73 Praise the Lord 37.137 Praise the Lord 53.
The Living and Pure God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up & die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, & murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today & repent!
