Amazing footage mate. They seemed awfully quiet vs other videos you've made. Once one bird gets talking, do the other ones join in as well? Great stuff pal, love these beautiful birds! Hope you are doing well and had a great weekend!
Hey Paul! Thanks a lot mate. These Kookaburras are lazy as hell lol, they only “laugh” for a few seconds after they arrive then just shut up, I badly wanna capture them laughing 😆 Had an ok weekend, now at least the weather is ok-ish:-)
Hi Peter, I had a pair on my farm, I think they were descendants of wildlife brought over here well over 100 year ago by a former Governor , I thought I was dreaming when I first heard them, but they would sometimes sit in a big gnarly pine tree behind the house and chatter away. It’s been years since I heard one , maybe they can’t compete with the Magpies (who do well here) and other territorial birds along with vermin like rats and ferrets. Yours must be resting their vocals 😀
That’s awesome Chris! I wish these two buggers would laugh more but hey only do it very briefly just to signal they have arrived and then just shut up haha😁 enjoy the rest of your weekend mate!
How cool is this Peter. Beautiful birds. Love the blue spots on the wings! Also loved the way you switched focus from near to far. Is this filmed with the R7? And did you have the eye capture off to achieve that?
