@birdocs 25 күн бұрын

Hey Laura, there are not many walking trails in South Luangwa, but you can organise a walking safari with the camp you are staying at, to have a walk inside the national park accompanied by a guide and scout. It is safe to walk around camp, however it is good to be vigilant, there are no fences like in National Parks in South Africa. If you would like more information or planning with your adventure send me a message [email protected]

I've been loving these videos! What's your setup? I have a hard time getting good video with a telephoto lens that isn't pretty shaky? Do you use a monopod or tripod or are you just ridiculously steady-handed? 😆

@birdocs Ай бұрын

Thanks, glad you enjoy them. Will be making a heap more! I do use a tripod, although I have been using a photo tripod (Manfrotto Compact Action), so for video its quite a flimsy setup, but not too bad overall, does what it has too. without a tripod there are moments where I am stable, and moments where I fail, will need to hit the gym XD. In my upcoming video I have a mix of both. I use a sony lens the FE 200-600mm F5.6-63 G OSS. So it has pretty good stabilisation, and use a sony a7s III.

I've been fortunate to have visited South Luangwa NP twice and enjoyed some fantastic wildlife sightings on both occasions. My knowledge of the area's rich bird life is sadly lacking, however, so it was an education as well as a pleasure to have you identify some native species around camp. Thank you! (Btw, two of my most treasured memories of South Luangwa was seeing the noisy throngs of brilliantly coloured southern carmine bee-eaters nesting in the river banks. And, on night game drives, coming across nightjars resting in the road - including the spectacular pennant-winged nightjar.)

They are a spectacle and a half. I cannot wait to go back to Luangwa! Have a nice one!

Hey, thanks for the ID of the touch me not. Interesting little plant. For me East African birding is prime and any time is good. Although the european migrants are not here yet, they will be starting their routes soon. Oloolua needs a good day with patience, listening and observing. But around Nairobi for me Karen side where these stops are, are always good for birding.
