Always wondering what is the reason for the heron to shake its head this vigorously...? Didn't look like he was bothered by flies or water...

Thanks for showing the birds ! But talking with music makes it very unclear to the spoken word , when you go to listen music normaly don't talk trough the music.

Thanks for the update Carl. Interesting footage with the infrared, wasn't expecting this much detail. You got me hooked now, hope you succeed in capturing a few owls. Can you already name the species of owls you're expecting? Happy holidays for you as well.

Wow, nice variety of birds for a single video. Are the majority of them migrating to Africa or is the Algarve also the chosen home for the winter months for a few of them?

Congrats to being presented with the variety of birds to film. And the quality of your filming/editing has improved a lot: no more out of focus footage. Appreciate it as a viewer. Would lilke to see the somewhat muffled audio due to the wind in the beginning/end be a thing of the past as well. But one step at a time. Keep up the good work. :)

Eurasian bullfinch. Dompfaff is the old germanic term as they looked like old overweight clericals wearing a red coat with a black cap (acc. to german wikipedia section).

Longtime no see ,the Bullfinch would be a great surprise on the pond and it's also my dream bird to self-find in Morocco .you may need to lure him to the pond using it's calls !

Welcome back online, was waiting for the update. It was also a pleasure meeting you in person prior to the festival. Also have to state I was surprised how large the video perspective makes your littel bird-oasis look like. Were you able to get any of the last 3 birds from your bucket list?

Not at the festival but I got an American night heron and a little crake at quinta do Lago . Which brings my life list for Portugal to 326 birds
