@@bevoliver2020 Hi Rosalie and Beverley, the dam is just approx 50m before the Tyre wedged in a telegraph pole 32 km south of Alice airport. You can not see the dam from the road but it is not far in on left [north] There is a track you can drive to near the dam. good luck
Thank you so very much for opening my eyes to the beauty and diversity of our Australian indigenous birds! I had no idea...and now I'm growing only indigenous plants in my garden to attract all the wildlife to thrive where we live ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic and brilliant footage! Thank you for all of your great videos. I would really love to see even more of the water birds and waders. Greetings from Germany!
I loved seeing the NT birds. I am from the east coast, so many of these I have never seen. I hope to visit NT sometime soon and spot some of these amazing birds in person. Thanks
Also: congrats on the Grey Honeyeater! I can assure you, it's not the only non-descript small bird to give way to exulted high-fives and jubilant comments! We birders are such an odd species ;-)
@@alanadare7052 One bird-observation, close to your coveted Grey Honeyeater, was when we found Dull-colored Grassquit in Ecuador. It was a lifer for our guide Jonas Nilsson, who had lived and worked there for ages and never seen it. High fives all around! And it lives up to its name, it's just... brown and grey. That was 2007. Naturally, when at last the bird was seen the first time, we saw it the next time we had him as a guide in 2011.
I woke up to Major Mitchell Cockatoos in the morning at the one picnic/camp site between King's Creek Station and the intersection for Uluru/Erldunda a few years ago. They were drinking from a puddle below the tap on the water tank there.
@@alanadare7052 Amen to that! Hummingbirds are my favorite birds, as you somehow deducted ;-) Sadly, not a bird family I can see "at home", since I'm from Sweden. Me and my partner had planned to go to Bhutan spring 2021. That won't happen. This Corona-pandemic has kinda forced me to an earlier retirement (April 2021) than previously planned, and I won't be a wealthy retiree. I might be able to do one or two more big trips, and have to choose carefully where to go. Australia and New Zeeland is top priority, but will be expensive.
This was such a joy to watch. I’ll be surely watching it again. My favourite find from this was rufous crowned emu wren. Plus I have a weakness for parrots and there were quite a few in this.
Fantastic information and great photography. Thank you for posting this. I am delighted to learn more about our beautiful birds. Being on the east coast some of these birds are completely new to me. Just a joy to watch.
Quality & content - what a gem of a birding UA-cam to find. I am hooked, as an avid birder I also really appreciated the bigger environment, I have always advocated such. Birding maybe the initial draw to the bush, but no-one said we couldn't look at everything else while there. Great stuff. Paul, Johannesburg
I've just binge watched all episodes, you guys do a great show and obviously have an amazing passion. As an Australian now living in Switzerland but originally Sydney and started breeding birds in the early 70's its fab to see home and abroad. I've lived in both Jakarta and Bali and managed a hotel called Begawan Giri (actually opened it) and the owner Bradley Gardner put an amazing amount of effort into breeding the Bali Starling (I was there 1998 and he had already done a lot) to reintroduce to the wild so it was great to see
Well done, Greg and Alana. Your brother Brian told me you and Alana are “interested” in filming birds. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your collection and will be passing on the UA-cam link to my family and other bird-watching friends. Cheers from the WA Dares (Arthur Dare's mob).
This was absolutely inspiring. I’m heading wyperfeld national park this summer and this has got me excited! Hoping to see some of these beautiful inland birds
Interesting To See The Red Tailed Black Cockatoo Though They Were Limited To Tropical Rainforest Regions Of Far North Queensland Or The Darwin And Kimberly Regions!🙂🐦🏜️
Thanks Keith, Greg took a lot of video with his old Sony HDV FX7 with 2x extender and then with Panasonic Lumix FZ 3000 , Alana used Sony AX53 MovieCam.
Finches Never Stray Far From Water Being Seed Eating Birds I Remember Les Hiddins The Bush Tucker Man Remarking If You See Finches It A Telltale Sign That Water Isn't Too Far Away!😒🐦🐦⛲🏜️
Marten, We try to feature the natural sound when it is playable but in our situation where we do not have a Sound Crew to go out and get pure sound usually at sunrise which is added onto the video separately at post production. In our situation when we film it's windy or other irritating sounds like Motor cars/talking distract from the natural setting so most film makers add music to make it less of a problem. Easier but not as good as the natural sounds.This is the problem we have Marten, thanks for your feedback.
most of them I have never seen up live in my life
Thank you. I always enjoy these birding adventures
I'll never be able to get here so to see these birds is awesome thanks
you're very welcome.
Sunday 20th October 24. Lovely video, some great bird species.
Thanks for this video, we just travelled this area and saw very little wildlife sadly, even though it’s amazingly green out here!
That's disappointing. Maybe there's been just too much rain!
Your birds are very beautiful, birds in the wild that make them even more beautiful and enchanting 🤗
A fantastic guide to where to go and what to look for around Alice..thanks for making this, really helpful
Thanks for this feedback . That's exactly why we make these films.
@@alanadare7052 I note you went to a dam along Old Saint Teresa Road - could you say roughly how many kms to that dam please? thanks

What a joy to watch..!! Thank you very much for sharing your experience. This is very interesting, informative and relaxing.
Thank you.
My way of life is finches and remote places! 💚😍Painted finch😍💚Thankyou for share your wonderfull work! Congratulations ! From Portugal.

Well captured ! Enjoy watching your awesome video 😍
Thanks for the feedback.
Lovely visuals and storytelling. This is very helpful for planning my upcoming sound recording trip to Australia.

Thanks Jesse
God created nature so beautiful and amazing
Thanks for making and sharing this delightful film.
I LIKE AND LOVE THE BIRDS
Thank you so much for this informative and joyfulness video.
Great show folks.
Looking for birds has been my life time hobby too
and planting trees for them
Fantastic that you plant too. It's discouraging when you see the rate of clearing but we can only try.
Luv the Major Mitchell
They are a magnificent Cockatoo and the crest on the central Australian race is extra splendid with the gold stripe!
Your videos are just awesome! Thank You
Many thanks
Beautiful
Thanks

Yes, we have many Honeyeaters in Australia,most much prettier, but it was the only one we hadn't seen, although we had spent long, hot days looking.

What a brilliant tour of the Red Centre in Australia. Subscribed and looking forward to watching all your videos. G'Day from Dublin, Ireland
G'day and thanks. Would love to visit Dublin.
Yet another gem, filled with inspirational footage and filled to the brim with useful information. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you Hummingbirder. One day when we can travel again we would love to see a Hummingbird !

Hi Luiz,

Very nice video. I was lucky enough to see Grey Falcon (adult and juvenile) on two consecutive days at the Old Telegraph Station in September 2019.
wow! that WAS lucky.
Top video
Thanks Gary
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Great footage of the outback birds and well produced.
THanks
