[@Hadijamukisa]

Ugandans we are blessed 🎉🎉

[@samwang5831]

Majestic is the best description of this beautiful specie that mankind have somehow pushed to the brink of extinction.

[@doodles3075]

Top of my bucket list to see one of these beautiful majestic birds, in their natural habitat❤

[@christinarobinson1163]

What a magnificent animal! I really appreciated this video. That you. Cheers

[@nigelblake1558]

Amazing, a lovely video, it’s my most wanted bird, and this year I’ll be off to Mabamba Swamp, I’ll be going to see the Gorillas too, thanks to my late aunt Barbara.

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

...what a wonderfull world

[@Kaderlid13]

Was für eine atemberaubende Natur! ❤

[@terryallen7356]

Wow, this was great. Thanks for displaying the names of the birds. You must have been so excited to see the Shoebill, they are the strangest of them all.

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much! So glad that you enjoyed watching our video and that you found our subtitles useful. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus

Headed here next week. Staying at the Boma as well. So excited!

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

That's great, wishing you a wonderful time and all the best, Markus

Das ist die Krönung !- so wunderbare Schuhschnabel-Aufnahmen !! und das vor 3 Jahren- jetzt seid ihr ja qualitativ nochmal sichtbar besser !

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Vielen herzlichen Dank Walter! Das freut uns sehr dass Dir unsere Videos gefallen und Du wertschätzt, wieviel Leidenschaft und Hingabe dahinter steckt. Wir hatten für den Schuhschnabel nur etwas mehr als einen halben Tag auf dem Victoria-See zur Verfügung und hatten uns so sehr gewünscht, dass wir ihn sehen. Und wir mussten lange warten, bis er endlich aufgetaucht ist und dann ist er sofort weg geflogen. Aber unser Guide und der Bootsfahrer haben alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt und sogar das Boot über seichte Stellen hinweg geschoben und gezogen, so dass wir am Schluss diese wunderbaren Aufnahmen machen konnten. Es ist jedes Mal eine Lotterie ob man etwas zu Gesicht bekommt oder nicht und dann gibt es entweder Freudentränen oder halt nur ein Schulterzucken. Aber das ist in der Natur und bei Tieren so, mal sind sie da, dann manchmal leider nicht. Ganz viele liebe Grüsse, Markus

[@midlifejoy]

@@SandraMarkusTrachsel Ganz herzlichen Dank für eure Beschreibung der intensiven Gemüts-und Seelenzustände, die eine geglückte oder "traurig stimmende" Situation bei den manchmal so sehnlich gewünschten "Wildlife-Hoffnungen" ausmachen. Kann mich sehr gut hineinfühlen, insbesondere wenn man sich so gut vorbereitet. Eure Videos muss man sich vom Anfang bis zum Schluss ansehen- so besonders sind sie. Liebe Grüße, Walter

[@natali_2276]

this bird is beautiful. she must be saved. it must be protected

[@catalot]

All of these birds are so beautiful. The shoebill is fascinating . Hopefully Uganda and any other nations where the shoebill might be found are protecting them.

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear catalot, thank you very much for your kind comment, appreciate it very much. Best regards, Markus

[@justastaronblox5823]

i believe shoebills are actually protected in uganda with strict laws as they used to be hunted

[@eamonahern7495]

I only need to walk by the canal here where I live in Ireland to see the likes of herons, egrets, ducks, swans and sometimes cormorants. But the more exotic hornbills and shoebills and such would be worth the journey to Uganda to see. Wonderful video.

[@user-vk7cp1op9p]

Never mind the faces that Shoebill is making. He is trying to freak us out. Really, he has been doing exceptionally well at it, lately.

[@brucemonkhouse6698]

Beautiful videos..I hope your work will contribute to the protection of these ancient and majestic Shoebills

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear Bruce, thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus

[@angellau3618]

Magnificent creature 👍🏼❤️

[@bartholomewchuzzlewit4356]

A very nicely done video. Thanks for your efforts. What an unusual looking bird and highly intelligent I believe.

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, appreciate it very much! Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus

[@pejkovicbozena]

Yes it is true 👍shoebills are extremely intelligent ❤❤️❤️

[@seviregis7441]

So many beautiful birds, love this

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear Savi Regis, thank you very much for your kind comment! Did you note that all animals are named in the video subtitles. Also you find many more birds in all our wildlife safari videos, they are an important aspect of your videography. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus

[@geoffhawkins1965]

Great video, loved it. Went there in November 2021 and it was fantastic.

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear Geoff, thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much! So glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience at Mabamba. Wishing you all the best and best regard, Markus

Grossartige Vogel-Dokumentation! Vom Schuhschnabel habe ich schon gehört, aber diesen noch nie in Natura gesehen. Auch ein paar andere Vogelarten sind mir neu. Sehr interessant und lehrreich. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüsse, Doris

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Hallo Doris, ja, das war ein Highlight gleich zu Beginn der Reise. Also für Vogelbeobachtung ist Uganda schon eine Reise wert, wir hätten noch viel mehr Vögel gesehen, wenn wir mehr Zeit gehabt hätten. Aber man kann einfach nicht alles in einer Reise unterbringen. Aber ja, diesen unglaublichen Vogel einmal in freier Wildbahn zu sehen war schon ein einmaliges Erlebnis und auch die Bootsfahrt durch den Sumpf hat uns riesig Spass gemacht. Viele liebe Grüsse, Markus

Beautiful video. We are going to be in Entebbe next March and would love to try and see the Shoebill. Did you use a local tour guide for this trip to see the Shoebill?

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, appreciate it very much. So glad you enjoy watching our videos. Our entire Uganda trip was arranged and booked by our travel agency, including all safari activities. So we did not have to arrange anything ourselves upon arrival. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus

[@samalimusoke4261]

Thank for filming this video.

[@12Mojo]

I neeeeed!!! This bird and need to populate them back to the once high kingdom they were

[@sophianumanovic1156]

Sehr tolles Video und tolle Aufnahmen. Mein großer Traum ist es den Schuhschnabel mal in freier Wildbahn zu sehen. In welcher Jahreszeit seit ihr den dahin gereist und wie heißt der Ort wo ihr hingereist seid. Lg

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Hallo Sophia, vielen Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar, das freut mich sehr, dass Dir das Video gefallen hat. Gemäss Videobeschreibung waren wir im August 2019 in Uganda. Wir sind nach Entebbe geflogen und haben dort im "The Boma" Hotel übernachtet. Von dort aus hat uns unser Guide zum Mabamba Sumpfgebiet am Viktoriasee gebracht, wo wir ins Boot gestiegen sind. Bei all unseren Videos kannst du zusätzlich die Untertitel aktivieren, dann erscheinen alle Tier- und Vogelnamen (Deutsch oder Englisch). Ganz viele Grüsse, Markus

[@foodlover8024]

Amazing

[@JCRios-bz1jc]

Nice video, its so peaceful navigating that pantanal and those birds with rare bills, but the shoebill its King between them!

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear J.C. Rios, thank you very much for your kind comment, appreciate it very much! So glad you find that bird as fascinating as we do. With best regards, Markus

[@renatedebruyn9612]

The pantanal is in South America. I believe this video is in Uganda, Africa. I think!

[@ornithologydude8649]

Very nice.

Filmed in their home not in a wee artificial cage entertaining noisy zoo goers.

[@snowflokke]

Hoi Markus Das sind sehr schöne Aufnahmen, die Kamera führende Hand ist ruhig, die Auflösung sehr hoch...als ob man life dabei wäre! :) Der background Sound müsste einen Pegel niedriger sein damit die Kulisse noch mehr hören kann, dann wär's perfekt. Gruess, Süley

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Hallo Sueleyman, vielen Dank für Deinen tollen Kommentar! Es freut mich sehr, dass Dir das Video gefällt. Oh ja, eine ruhige Kameraführung in einem Boot auf dem Wasser (manchmal sogar bei Fahrt) ist schon eine Herausforderung. Vielen Dank, dass du das lobend erwähnt hast. Viele Grüsse, Markus

[@pamduniven7501]

How long has the Shoebil Storke been around?

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear Pam, thank you for your kind comment. We followed it for about 90 Minutes to different locations in the swamp. Sometimes the boat had to be pushed into shallower water to get closer to it. With best regards, Markus

[@ugrakturk]

İs Theresa a clear view of these birde with go pro???

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Thank you very much for your comment. Unfortunately a GoPro is not sufficiant for birding. Yes, you can capture the bird, but it will not reveal any details. We use very big telephoto lenses to get a good closeup view of the bird. You might be lucky and it is right in front of your boat, but mostely you will only see it from a far distance. With best regards, Markus

[@jagabua_natur_und_musik]

Super gemacht! HG Stefan

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Ganz vielen Dank! Das war der erste Ausflug um 7 Uhr Morgens, nachdem wir am Vortag um 23:00 Abends angekommen sind. Aber wir haben ihn gesehen, sind sehr glücklich! Viele Grüsse, Markus

[@danedigitl]

Such a beautifully done video! What areas did you see the hornbill and turaco at? I will be visiting he Mabamba Swamp and would like to see the other species if it is near that area. Thank you!

[@SandraMarkusTrachsel]

Dear danedigitl, thank you so much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much. Most of the other birds were on the way from Entebbe center to the boat at Mabamba swap seen from the road itself (our guide simply stopped the car when he saw a bird near the road, you can see us walking on the road in the video). The birds in the garden at the end were filmed in our hotel "The Boma". With best regards, Markus

[@danedigitl]

@@SandraMarkusTrachsel What wider lens did you use for the shots of the boat cruising through the water? Thanks!

[@ellenwheeler2031]

Great video except for the music.
