Photographing and sharing birds from Sydney, Australia and the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy my Birding Hotspots videos. More more content please check my instagram- rogermacks.bird.photos
Thank you I hope you find my videos informative and entertaining. Get yourself a good bird guide, book for starters, then start identifying birds around your home. Then learn some basic facts about them. Slowly look for birds further from home, and expand your knowledge. It is a really fun hobby and you get to learn a lot of natural history along the way
Howdy ! I love birds and I use a Nikon p1000 with a tripod . You can get so close that the birds feathers look ike lace . With a lower end 4K resolution , I'd highly recommend it to anyone shooting birds : )
Videos about Ningaloo are only about the spectacular underwater world that exists there. The underwater footage is truly spectacular but it is also refreshing to see the other wildlife which exist there👍
Thank you for your great feedback. My channel is mostly about birds with a little bit of other wildlife, I also hadn’t seen a good video on the birds of Exmouth region, so made one myself!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. I have made a point of my bird videos to completely avoid being a ‘talking head on travel’ or doing anything gear related. Even though those sorts of videos get lots of views there are plenty of excellent channels out there with great information, I would just be talking about the same stuff.
Lived here my whole life and haven't seen most of these birds lol. What equipment did you use, and how did you get so many shots of birds from the side? Birds are usually in trees and I only get to see their bottoms :)
Australia has so many beautiful bird species that gives one so much scope for the imagination. Thankyou for the insight to these Aussie birds in this part of NSW😎👏👍
Hey Roger! another awesome birding video. Next year I will be coming to Australia in June and touring Sydney, Alice Springs, Cairns, and all of the areas surrounding those towns. I'll be spending about 2 days in Sydney and 1 in the blue mountains. Do you have any recommendations on places to go around Sydney to see the most amount of different types of birds and get the most photo opportunities? Thanks a ton for making these videos. They are super helpful!
Thank you. That sound like an amazing trip. Honestly with only 2 days in Sydney I would probably just go to the Botanic gardens in the CBD. There are quite a number of our popular birds there, Kookaburra, Cockatoo, rainbows lorikeets, cormorants, waterhens and more. Plus you will be near the opera house etc, so worth visiting.
Can I suggest that you check the Blue Mountains national park website beforehand - only because a large number of the most popular walking trails have been closed over the past couple of years, predominantly due to landslides and the like from wet weather. At least you will know what is open and what isnt
Excellent footage and narrative, thank you!! A bit of audio leveling could make this an even better documentary. If the music were down ~6dB, the calls and your insightful narrative would remain in "focus". Thanks again, and cheers from North Carolina, US.
Thank you for the helpful feedback. For most of the bird videos there is actually no calls, just wind noise or people talking, so music is necessary to make it ‘interesting’. I will drop the volume in future videos though (maybe 😉)
@@RogerMacKertich I am coming to Australia in November first time and want to do the birding in the Sydney area, Can you please suggest neat by place good in November for birding and local guide
