[@silvias7090]

a masterful birder and great with the camera.....thank you for supporting nature !!! and encouraging others to do the same....🥰

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

I've still got much to learn, thank you for the encouragement 😊I believe by showing people how beautiful and fascinating our birds are, it will encourage them to get out there to help and/or enjoy what SE Qld has to offer.

[@jandrabeeston4604]

Excellent video & audio and your informative commentary. Thank you Rob.

[@gordondean9189]

Delightful video, great content and presentation. Thank you.

[@debrowe2120]

Really loving your videos Rob. I've been learning so much. I particularly enjoy how you share how to distinguish between the male and female birds. Thanks for sharing your bird walks with us.

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to keep up the bird field identifiers. Have a great weekend.

[@pembridgehouse]

Thank you. Good concept of walking along a "bird corridor" to see what's there.

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@terriwat]

Great video Rob. Looking forward to part 2

[@birdocs]

What a beautiful location, the colours flow together so well and the birds are incredible.

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

The day before it was grey and it was super windy! I'm glad the weather cleared up the day of recording. This was my first time processing a 4k video. It took much longer to render but it looks so much better on the bigger screens like TVs, particularly the sunrise clouds. Thank you for watching and the feedback 😊

Thanks for sharing Rob - will have to take a trip out there this year.

Nice and beautiful video. Thanks for sharing so wonderful nature with us.

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Thank you for watching. Another video is coming next week

[@MrNero66]

Great video Rob, can't believe you got a casual Squatter yo start, I never seen one and be there numerous times, where they right at the start?

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Yeah it was lucky seeing the Squatters. Harry actually filmed those whilst I was filming the apostlebirds. It wasn't until later when I was going through the footage and was like "hey!". They were at the starting junction. I've only ever seen them at that section one other time (out of the approx 10 visits). Best of luck finding them

[@shaunferguson8782]

Just found your channel, great stuff mate. BTW love the sound your camera makes when zooming out. 🤣

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Thank you. Yeah, I've played with editing out the sound but it seems weird zooming without it 😅 I have since upgraded my mic, so the zoom sound won't be as strong, haha

[@shaunferguson8782]

@@birdwatchingse-qld2253 Yeah I was about to say if you get something like a Rode VideoMirco A) your sound will be better and B) you won't hear the internall sounds of the camera. But be careful cos they are directional so if you are vlogging from behind it your voice won't come through clearly. So do lots of testing first. Love your videos, keep em coming reminded me lots of my 2 visits to Oz in the past.

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Cool. The Rode is actually what I purchased 🙂 The voice should be fine as I wear a lapel and have it as a separate channel. Thanks for the tips and tuning in. Glad you enjoyed the videos. If you're ever in Brisbane, be sure to join us for one of our monthly walks.

[@wendyh8492]

Hi Rob, you have inspired me to go out to have a look, do you have any tips for a beginner bird watcher/photographer! Could you recommend a place to stay!

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Lake Coolmunda Caravan Park is 5 min drive from Mostiqtoe Creek Rd. They allow tents, caravans, and have self contained cabins too. It's basic but affordable. Enjoy

[@wendyh8492]

@@birdwatchingse-qld2253 Thank you Rob.

[@WildCaught73]

Great video man! What camera are you using in this?

[@birdwatchingse-qld2253]

Thank you. I use a Nikon P950, it's great for birding and it's not too heavy.

[@WildCaught73]
