With so many upsetting videos this year regarding birds (esp. avian ‘flu), this was a wonderful and welcome pleasure. It’s so nice to just enjoy hearing the songs of the birds and I think that Crystal and Stephen’s excitement was infectious. Thanks for a great and uplifting video!
What a wonderful heart warming spirit lifting Visio. How I would love to have crystal beside me on a walk through the woods ss she identified for me the bird behind the son. She has an amazing talent which must have taken her years to perfect , thank you for sharing.
Years ago I was in Trinidad, at Asa Wright centre. All the bird guides there were trained to identify birds by sound and only then they could use binoculars to look at them
I have got to say it must be fantastic to be able to recognise a bird by its song, I love the sound of birds sing even though I have tinnitus that Is annoying, thank you for the video .
I am fortunate enough to live quite near to the Wood of Cree (featured in your video) and the Carstrammon Woods nearby which are also mixed woodlands. Too many of the new trees planted are conifers. These monoculture plantations are commercial investments that may help off set global warming but do nothing much for most animals, birds or insects. Near me large tracts of grazing farmland are being tuned into Sitka Spruce empires and little or no account has been taken of vociferous local objections. Somehow commercial enterprises must be persuaded to respect nature and all the benefits if brings to the world.
May/early June when I am in Scotland most years I have no trouble spotting wood warblers well below the canopy in mixed woodland. From Gary bridge to Killiecrankie for example wood warblers are far and away the most common warbler and very easy to see and photograph.
Thank you for the beautiful sounds of the various birds, which we do not hear around here! We have Crows, Magpies, lots of Gulls, which we like - We pray that the Bird Flu will be contained and dear birds will be fit to fly and sing again. God Bless All
