AUSTRALIA DOCUMENTARY 4K / TASMANIA Birds and Wildlife / Tasmania Island of Birds.

A Documentary on the beautiful birds and wildlife of Tasmania’s wilderness areas.
Includes rare footage of the endemic Scrubtit and many other species of the Apple isle.
This short documentary documents our recent trip to Tasmania. My ambition was to find and film as many bird and mammal species as possible and our time here did not disappoint.
My original intention was to make a short film about the charismatic and endemic Scrubtit but as the timeline developed, I decided to add a splash of other species into the documentary.
Our journey takes us through pristine habitats, searching for the incredibly diverse birds and Mammals of Tasmania. The forests are delightful and present as a storybook with Tree ferns and moss covered logs.
Tasmania is also home to a number of endemic bird species that cannot be found anywhere else on earth.
Eventually, our 3 week adventure will be documented in a 3 part series covering an impressive array of species and of course the wonderful habitats that they live.
Please comment and let me know what you think.

Fantastic work, lots of hours gone into this, I know how much it takes to not only locate but to film target species. Nicely done !!!!

Very kind of you. I'd like to pursue this but it all needs time.

[@Parroting_Australia234]

So beautiful, I really want to go to Tassie one day. You are an amazing cinematographer, no doubt national geographic worthy.

Well done Tim, you've done such a great job here with this compilation! I'm looking forward to visiting the southern end of Tasmania shortly.

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks so much, we had a blast. I hope the weather is kind to you.

[@TimSiggs]

I am going to remove this as it has rendered in 1080 despite showing 4k.

[@TimSiggs]

Great, it seems to have corrected itself and is appearing in 4K

[@loicleray]

Hey Tim, great video! FYI Once you upload to KZbin they process your video and automatically create copies at different resolutions. You’ll usually have almost instant access to a 720p version and then takes time to process higher resolution versions. In my experience it can take up to 24hrs for a 4K version to become available. Hope that helps!

[@TimSiggs]

Sorry that I did nit reply to this and thanks for your advice.@@loicleray

[@loicleray]

@@TimSiggs All good! Thanks again for sharing the vid. =)

[@faithkadiri1254]

This is an awesome documentary. So soothing to watch and listen to. I watch it with my free flying parakeets. They perch on the blinds rod and watch, responding to the calls and songs of the birds in this video.

Very nice video also 😊

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@edxr6949]

@@TimSiggs Subbed 👍. Reason I'm here, I went for a walk the other day along an old railway here in tas, maybe 3 kms in thick bush land and recorded a video on my phone while i was there. Came home, had a joint, played the video and was absolutely amazed at the sounds the birds were making ( maybe 8 all singing away at the same time ) and i thought wow...these little creatures are absolutely amazing! Then i thought what a weird quiet world it would be without them. This was 2 weeks ago and now I'm fascinated. I've always appreciated the sounds while waking through the bush but I've never really actually listened. It blew me away just how special the little guys are.

[@edxr6949]

And you're video's are very nicely done, clear and easy. Thanks 👍

[@MattisProbably]

Nicely put together and really great footage! You have a very fitting narrator voice, too.

[@TimSiggs]

I very much appreciated your kind words. The narration is the hardest part.

[@dadegroot]

Lovely footage. We're heading down in Oct/Nov and I hope to capture a good selection of wildlife and birds while there.

[@TimSiggs]

Best of luck. If you have the weather, you will be in luck for sure.

[@johnmurray3346]

Fantastic work ol’mate 🤙🏻

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks 👍

[@dianaholvik2554]

Absolutely stunning. I live in Canada, was born and spent childhood in NZ. Loved the bush in this. The birds are different, yet some are very similar. I've never been to Australia despite living so close (but that was many decades ago when people did not buzz around the globe like they do now). Thank you for this video. Gorgeous.

[@TimSiggs]

Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your kind words. I am going to visit Canada one day to see friends.

You captured it all beautifully. Great camera work and quality is perfect. Thank for putting it together for us to enjoy. I'm a birder in Florida and most likely never be able to visit Tasmania but your documentary gave a nice overview of Tasmanian nature, birds and wildlife, loved it. Thanks 😊

Much appreciated Thomas, I hope you do get to go. I hope to visit Florida in the next couple of years.

[@pppiciucco]

Really impressive and excellent quality, Tim. I'd have two questions for you: How long did you stay there? And, do you film the birds out in the open or were you using your car as a hide? Thanks

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks so much. For this trip, all the footage was was on foot, just walking, listening and finding the birds. It was a 24 day trip.

[@thegrassguru4383]

Brilliant!! stunning quality, im really looking forward to seeing all your other work, I think I've found a hidden gem! (your KZbin channel!)

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I have a lot of content on line and am developing some cool documentaries. You might like kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHWYpqR5bdqqa5Y

[@javwildman]

Fantastic footage as usual Tim, I enjoyed a brief trip to Tassie over 20 years ago myself, only wish I had had more time to see more of it. Those shots in the forests are marvellous in low light and needing lots of patience too. Those scrubtits act just like Tree creepers here in the UK although filming them is much easier as they are not quite as timid. Thanks for the upload, David.

[@TimSiggs]

Thanks so much. Yes, persistence and patience definitely required but an awesome place that gives results. I am also familiar with the Treecreepers, cool birds.

[@hannahs4779]

[@kwok-penglooi799]

Hi Tim, thank you for this well made video. May I ask where in Tasmania these beautiful bird photos were taken?
