Beautiful.. love witching birds

Very commendable. I've been travelling between Basildon and Southend on the C2C line pretty much every day this past year and was thinking just a couple of days ago I hadn't seen a single Lapwing in any of the seasons.

Brilliant, I really enjoyed it and tried to follow with my bird book, to note differences in plumage.

Congratulations Mike 👍

Excellent video enjoyed watching Thank you ❤️🫡

Some great images there! Inspiring.

Great video mate. Nice to learn about different sites. 👍

I'd like to make a plea to Essex Birdwatchers. I was gifted an RSPB membership last Christmas and throughout this past year have visited a number of Essex sites. I freely admit to being an utter novice and unfamiliar with 'birding' ways. However I have found many birdwatchers I've encountered to be rather unfriendly and quite a few downright rude! Please try to assist new birdwatchers rather than alienate them?

This will help me enormously. Always wondering what I've got on the Bull Island here in North Dublin. We have all these along with the odd Ruff, Curlew and Whrimble. Thanks a lot I feel a lot better armed now. Must remember the black arm pits!

Thanks a lot for posting this. What a superb overview. Really helpful.

With the library, I have been using Libby for some time, which works well. Use it for Birdwatch, Bird Watching and BBC Wildlife mainly.

Ive been pooped on by starlings watching a murmaration

You are both fantastic

Excellent video very useful tips even for me down in Australia

🤦 "Promosm"

Thank you, really helpful

Just watched it. Forgot on Friday, apologies. Great show as always. See you both soon.

❤️🫡

Guys, thank you for the video. Very well explained. It really helps to give you an idea before going. Looking forward to visit it.

Great video to do some swotting up before a wader survey next week! 👌👌

Might be a silly question but I’ve always wondered if you’re allowed to walk on the mudflats, for example at RSPB pagham and medmerry there are quite a few and wondered if you could

Thank you guys, I've recently visited, having lived on the south coast for many years and this was really useful to identify what it was I was watching on the river Blackwater, a wonderful area, full of amazing new birds to discover. I have very fond memories of Essex and the evocative sounds.

Funniest thing we've seen for ages

Sorry I missed this "live" this time. Yes, I know, what possible legitimate excuse is there for missing "Birds of Essex". Now watched it back. Great show as always Matt and Steve.

And there was me thinking that Matt and Steve were sensible and professional🤣😂 .... I think it may be for the best that "Birds of Essex" is taking a break in April 2023.

great show gents👍

stumming pics, as always 👋👋👋

Great video with helpful information. Thank you 🔭

thanks as always for the time and effort you spend on your vids, and for the valuable information they contain 👏👏👏

I hope to see more exciting videos like this one in the near future! You really need to look into Promo sm.

A lovely selection of photos, just as I thought I'd seen my favourite, another came along. It would be nice to see those photos credited, maybe? Thank you for posting and to all those that were in the right place at the right time.

I live in E1 London, close by is christ Church, I'm lucky to be able to watch the two peregrine falcons who live mostly on the church and area (Square Mile), I'm sure they are male and female, the female uses an ambush technique often from the church spire ledge, mostly pidgins, or black birds (not sure about the latter) occasionally she will fly extremely high in the sky, which is absolutely breathtaking to watch. Thx for the vid.

Go there often, a very good review👍

Excellent 👍

Really helpful… thanks Matt and Steve 😊

Thank you! Very useful indeed, Your hard work is much appreciated!

Excellent guide. Thank you.

Fantastic presentation 👏. Great photographs, but the sketches at the end awesome 👌. I'm a keen wildlife photographer, but I'd give photography to be able to sketch like that. 👍

Thanks, Steve, really enjoyable. Great photos and sketches.

What a wonderful and detailed video! I’m flying today to Menorca bringing kids and Kamera looking for Wildlife! Thank you 🙏

Very informative. I've been visiting Abberton since the mid eighties and wasn't aware of the last few viewing areas, Cheers!

Very interesting. Thank you.
