Can You Believe HOW FAR these Ten Birds Migrate!?

- What causes when and where birds migrate to has been a mystery since people started to realise they flew away, rather than hibernated or sank to the bottom of ponds (that was a real theory). One thing that is becoming clearer is where different species head to. In this video I will show you where birds in the UK head to when they leave our shores.

Really interesting and surprising facts in this video Liam. Makes you realise just how wondrous migrating birds are. You can see why there is still a lot of mystery behind their migrations. Great video, thank you. ☺️🙏❤
Fabulous video Liam, thank you for posting. The fact about the Bramblings changing wintering sites was new to me. Thanks again 👍
I'm new to be interested in wildlife. This has blown my mind - amazing!! Thank you Liam. 😊
Brilliant video Liam. I just find it really amazing what birds do. Thank you
Thanks Liam for this great vlog on migration. I knew that the Arctic tern, covered great distances, but was interested to learn that blackbirds from Europe migrated here. Also impressed how much the little brambling covers in its range! Nice one! 😊 👍
The swift is my favorite bird of them all. Everything about it is insane (I learned that later). My childhood memories of them is actually what "did it". I grew up in Sweden, and hearing them flying around our house was common. They nested there. And of course they scream - normal flight, around 50-60 Kmh. When diving - up to 200 Kmh. That must tickle the belly somewhat, like when folks scream in a roller coaster. I have saved quite a few when they landed on the ground and had problems getting airborne.
Second, the terns. When they fly, it truly looks effortless. One with the wind. But no worry, there is enough space in my heart to love all of them birds. Marvelous beings, all of them. I just can´t help loving some of them a little more.
Keep up your nice videos! You have a nice voice, good knowledge and are enthustiastic in the right way (read: not overwhelming, but still positive). All the best!
Brilliant Video. The Skylark Is the Sound of Summer.
Fascinating facts, which make you stop and think! Tiny little birds flying all those miles in all weathers. As always, a super informative video!
What a lovely video. Many thanks for a magical. Informative video!
Hi Liam, very interesting video. Where I grew up in south Dublin we always had Housemartins and some Swallows every year. Very enjoyable to observe them of an evening.
Nature is so weird at times, but also so interesting the way birds / animals migrate.
Tremendous work Liam! Isn’t it extraordinary how little we really know about the migration of birds and how climate change is impacting the extent and or prolongation of their voyages.
Btw the cadence of your commentaries is perfect.
Very enjoyable and interesting. Cheers 😊
Very interesting, and well delivered.
Great video. Very informative. Thanks.
That was a fantastic video
Brilliant facts
Thank you
Thumbs up 👍🏼
Didn't know that about the blackbird. Would love to spot a brambling.
Informative and interesting as always! 👍🤓👍
Thanks Liam for another awesome video. Yes I enjoyed it and learned something new
We still don't fully understand how birds navigate and how or whether they use the Earth's magnetic field, jetstreams, surface features, the sun and the moon.....or maybe there are even other cues they use like infrared or ultraviolet radiation. Birds certainly can make use of many of these things that humans just aren't built to sense and it's a fascinating area of zoology research.
And now dear liam ❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 hiiiii welcome back ❤❤❤❤
I don't know who I am, don't know why I am here, all I know is that I must fly south
A great video Liam .Theories I have none but comments yes .As a child I was amazed and admired nature .Fast forward many years and feel even more so .Nature is is a beautiful mystery in many ways .Note .Today I must travel the city here OK the transport service is on strike However a trains service will do just add quite a walk start and finish NOW if I were a bird ..no problem .Cheers 👍386
Nice one Liam
Nice one Liam, another informative vid.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thank you enjoyed that 👍👍
I heard my first Chiffchaff today whilst carrying out a wetland survey. I think this is the earliest I've heard one and is the sound of summer for me
We get bar tailed godwits in nz. The distances they travel is just mind boggling!
Another fantastic video. Cheers
Love your videos! Also I loved the music that accompanied this one. What is it?
Thank you. I am going to have to get back to you about the music, I am on the wrong computer at the moment.
Nicely crafted video. 😄👍
Thanks for this Liam.
Nice one Liam, cheers
Loved this👍 so interesting!
Flying off to a hot different country in the winter for sexy fun.....these birds definitely know what they're doing....
Yep! One day I'll be doing the same I think!
Thank you brother, you are doing really valuable work, thank you for that. It can't be appreciated highly enough. °⌣°
Haven’t been at this channel for quite a while! You might remember me as Trex Vr
From Alaska to Tasmania, 8000km over the Pacific. E'en the longest legged airliners, with their hundredsweight of jet fuel, can scarce match the feat. 👍
I know, its a very impressive distance for a bird to travel even in multiple journeys, let alone in one trip without stopping.
That’s wild
Great informative Video. At least they don't have to worry about drowning in the English channel.
nice ❤
Sup uncle noice video
Cool
👏👍🥰
The final destination of a greater majority of the winter migrants is just dependent on food resources of any one place at any one time. This winter's Waxing erruption, being so closely monitored by eager groups wishing to see them, is a prime example of the trickle-down movement most of our Scando arrivals will take. Some end up leap frogging others to try and get a lead on the best food resources. Some decide that their current position is worthy of far greater lengths of stay than others. It's all very fluid. Suffice it to say a lot will enter the nearby continent whilst continuing this trend. Most winter migrant blackbirds that I've witnessed - in the hand either with rings (all Scandinavian) and/or tell-tale physiological differences. Wing length and muscle mass are far greater in migratory birds - this goes for smaller ones too like robin and chaffinch. An incredible number of species that we would count as regular and native birds through winter would be Scandinavian/N.European - all lost in this assumption. The best of all though should go to goldcrests (and firecrests to a degree) with huge amounts crossing the North Sea. If you want to document multiple migratory strategy from a single species that all, irrespective of source and destination countries, have the UK as part of the move then tackle the blackcap. They literally come from every direction and go in every direction - we're all still desperately trying to work it out! Best, Si.
Except for those who live in Alaska? Most of our migrants are a thousand miles or less. Not only are American Robins related to the Black Bird, they act the same way. For the most part they try to stay ahead of the snow and freezing weather and frozen ground. While others make a big run into Mexico. One of these days I am going to visit England and hope to enjoy the wildlife in the countryside. Unique and inspiring video as always. Safe travels and God bless.
Nice 🐦 of a video to say
Super amazing birds 🐦....❤❤❤❤
Didn't know barn swallows can survive cold winters
I had swallows nest in my outhouse they hatched 4 chicks . I expect them to return
Fingers crossed they return this year!
Hi Liam, I saw my first Skylark today, any chance of a fact file please?
Which British birds primarily migrate south for the winter?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂
just finished a bird puzzel, then watch a vidieo about more birds
You need a bit more pausing and silence between your commentary and maybe slow your voice down a bit
Great informative Video. At least they don't have to worry about drowning in the English channel.
