Brilliant again, thanks

@wildliferox2 Год назад

I once saw a Golden Eagle in North Wales, gliding almost effortless over the mountains that surround Llamberis, and in particular flying between Dinowig and Deiniolen. In the 10-15mins I watched, slowly drifting along the hanging valleys, where once stood slate tips, the Eagle barely flapped it's wings twice. One remaining breeding pair were known in Wales at the time. This around 1988-89, and I never saw it again. It will be really good to hear where they have been successfully reintroduced in England and Wales.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

What a nice experience. I haven't looked into golden Eagle distribution but I suspect they will be spreading naturally as a result of the higher protection and awareness they currently have.

@HeckinTired 3 месяца назад

Thanks for this! Now I know the little bugger singing outside my window is a European goldfinch - quite adorable!

I've been hearing a bird in the trees behind my garden never heard b4 then I came across your page and heard it I now know what it is a chiffchaff

@ChristopherHarle41048 Год назад

What a great video: Close-ups of each species, complete with calls, and the name printed onscreen, and all condensed into less than 4 minutes - ideal for busy people. Thanks.

@samiadb8503 Год назад

Excellent as ever, would be amazing to have this with more small garden song birds please.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

Thank you. These were picked randomly from a selection of more than 100 but strangely not many garden birds came out. However, that does mean that next time will probably have more garden birds and I'll definitely cover them all at some point :)

@cornishalps9870 Месяц назад

We have tons of chiffchaff in my childhood village. To me it was the defining noise you would mostly hear.

@Mikailodon Год назад

Here’s a fun fact. Large non-avian dinosaurs would’ve actually sounded a lot like bitterns, and not the mammalian roar you hear in the media. Fossils of T. rex’s ear bones suggested it was adapted to hear infrasound, likely from members of its species. This means large dinosaurs would’ve made deep calls from bittern-like booms to alligator-like bellows Also I heard lapwings at Middleton Lakes today.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

How interesting is that! I wonder if the different atmosphere affected how noise traveled and if that impacted how dinosaurs communicated.

The spoonbills 😂 love it hahaha … nice relaxing video Liam nothing beats listening to birds to help chill out

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

Haha, 2 people have commented thus far pointing me to a resource for animal noises I hadn't heard of before which does have spoonbills on it... Next time!

@C-Rex1 Год назад

The red-legged partridge sounds like it's blowing kisses.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

Yeah, it's a strange call. I first heard it coming from behind a hedgerow in the middle of nowhere. I didn't expect a partridge!

You're welcome. I had written this video to be one hundred birds bit I decided to make it several shorted ones instead, so keep an eye out for more in the future. Cheers!

@missapippin9020 Год назад

Some beautiful bird songs. The Eurasian Bittern sounds like our Australian Emu with that hoop hoop noise. I love the sweet call of the Golden Eagle and the Kite. Thank you.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

Thank you. My laptop speakers couldn't produce the bittern noise and at first I thought it was an issue with my ears, until I put headphones on. Phew!

love the kites we have several ware we live the crows and magpies dont like them though allways chasing them away unusuall when you see the size of them close, up we live on the first floor of our flat and sitting in 7 achres there allways around and fantastic when they giv us a display flying past our window with there huge wingspan great video goes well with the previous one thanks for showing interesting birds

@mbarker1958 Год назад

Great job again Liam!

@mazoomska Год назад

Loved the lapwing call! I've always thought eagle's never sound like how you expect them to - they all have such high pitched shrills. The bittern's call reminded me of a ground hornbill's. Great vid Liam!

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

Thank you. I agree about the eagles, I suppose high pitched noises must be useful for them for some reason.

@AShotOfWildlife Год назад

@Dawn King thank you!

Living in the suburbs of Reading, we have so many red kites here, always one gliding around, not uncommon to see 10 at once, have seen 20+ at the same time, that call is so distinctive. Weve had friends down sitting in a pub garden asking why we arent paying attention to 15 birds of prey circling above, but its just a normal day for us here

I cant help you here, but if you do manage to record it, find me on social media and share it- I will be able to identify the call if I hear it. Also- check the call of grey squirrels as it could be that.

@AShotOfWildlife 7 месяцев назад

@QigongGreyDragon Год назад

Theres one I'm looking for in particular. It sounds like it's someone whistling at you like a human would. Think opposite of a wolf whistle instead of a Weeepwooo noise it's a woooweeep. It repeats that constantly woooweeep, woooweeep, woooweeep. If we whistle that word 👆 it that's exactly what it sounds like. It's not an owl it's a small hedge living songbird. It sounds like someone is whistling at you and taking the piss?? I'm in Highlands of Scotland. Still no idea what it is, heard it dozens of times, I can never see it, their like a Ninja. Woooweeep woooweeep woooweeep all day long 🤣
