I finally finished the 3rd & final episode in my Birding on The Canary Islands series. This 1's on Tenerife. I hope you enjoyed this 3 parter as much as I did collecting all the footage for you. Let me know what you think I hope I did the islands justice. youtu.be/-mtboVXdXGA

And you wonder why editing takes so bloody long.... Canary Island birding part 2 video 2/3rds done. I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit over it and need to get out and see some birds. I feel like a 🧛🦇

Can I have your thoughts on this bird please? Over Staines res on the Bank Holiday? Common\Pallid? Photo by Connor Macleod

Right it's finally ready... I have 2 patches back home in SA one is Tygerberg NR & the other is Greyton. Greyton is very dear to me so I'm stoked to be able to share this with you it's my own little slice of paradise. youtu.be/1z9vG1U6IZo

Not a bad morning on patch at Staines Res and moor. Got wet and 💩 photography .. still had fun though. BNG, Slav Grebe, Water Pipit and Cmn Sand.

I'll try get my latest video buttoned up this weekend in hopes of delivery come Sunday evening... got a lot of work ahead of me though👍 🎥

Editing is happening but it's happening slowly. 🤦🥰😺

FYI I am still editing my next birding video .. it's just that a new kitten 🐱and birding 🐦 are slowing things down a bit. Next 1 is Greyton a place I hold dear to my heart it's one of my home patches. Can't wait to show you around it'll be a 2 parter. Part 1 coming soon----ish

Booted Eagle yesterday in Cornwall. A few front on and back views. Showing the 'landing lights' either side of the head, a diagnostic feature of both morphs of Booted Eagles. Europe's smallest eagle.

02:30am start with @stevewilson1706.bsky.social!! Epic, yet tense day started with the Booted Eagle being everywhere we weren't and everyone else seeing it. Then just when we thought all was lost & talked about leaving, in it flew to giving dream views. UK ✅ @birdguides.bsky.social

Litter picking is not all doom and gloom. Kingfishers for company and a hell of a sunrise were my payment. Plus free work out happy days ... the amount of litter still sucks though.

Litter picking on the Hogsmill LNR all done. Nice early clean up had its disadvantages though, glasses fogged up and picker froze shut. 🤣🤣

Staines today, best was hearing the diver call. T'was bloody amazing to hear.

These are never gonna win any awards but glad to get this grip back today at Steart WWT - Least Sandpiper. Lovely to bump into a whole bunch of old mates and meet some new one's.

About to start editing my Greyton birding video but in the meantime here's a little teaser for you.... 👍📽️🎞️🎬

Dyslexia: If you see a person has made a typo (which 9/10 is normally a hilarious one) don't make fun of the person OR their sentence, just inform the person of their mistake so we can all move on with our lives. I can't tell you how often I have to reread my posts on socials. 👍

Wow it's only taken half a year but my birding Facebook account Fergies Birding is now back up and running again after being hacked months ago.... I'M BAAAACCCKKKK!!!! www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Some mo from Greyton

I think my next birding video will be from Greyton 🇿🇦 a place I hold dear to me heart. Birding there is next level and often there's not a soul in sight you have the birding all to yourself.

New vid has just landed... enjoy. youtu.be/0J9IsFhL5lA

Such characters these guys... White-backed Mousebirds. Durbanville, South Africa

World's biggest Sparrowhawk the Black Sparrowhawk over Intaka wetland near Cape Town.

Very naas...merry crimbo everyone. @ruths-portraits.bsky.social 🥰😉🎄

A beautiful piece of filming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=onvs...

Coming soon to a Youtube screen near you.....my ugly mug losing my mind in Kirstenbosch Gardens.

Any good birding around Munich Germany over xmas or should I not even bother taking my birding kit? 🇩🇪

I'm working hard at it to bring it to you ASAP....Part 2 nearly there....

I obviously can't get the entrance and cup in the same shot so I recon this is view best? Webcams have little lights on them to I'll be able to see what's going on in the dark. Of cos I won't have it on all night just short bursts to see what's going on inside in low light.

Swift box upgrade V2.0. I've taken my box down & planning to install 2 cameras inside. U can clearly see which side they used as the feathers have all been stuck down hard as nails. I guess with saliva, 2nd box untouched. Webcam cams will be installed as such. Can't bloody wait!!
