Hubby and I retired in 2020 and now I have time on my hands I've decided to do a little bit of videoing and sharing them. I am a newbie, and not at all techno, so some of my videos will be jerky. Please forgive me and hopefully I'll get better!! We live in Lower Hutt, near Wellington, in New Zealand.
Bird Antics at our place, Lower Hutt NZ (14 January 2025)
Several clips of avian antics today at our place. There's some eating involved, and also some bathing and preening.
Starring our favourite friendly blackbird, with guest appearances from his son (or perhaps daughter?) and also from Mr Thrush, and several sparrows.

Feeding our resident Blackbird on our deck, Lower Hutt New Zealand, 13 January 2025
Просмотров 4721 час назад
Hubby fed our friendly blackbird on the balustrade around our deck. The bird is getting very friendly and trusting of us, coming about 40cm of hubby who feeds him. The food is an energy cake, made by TopFlite in Oamaru in the South Island. They specialise mainly in bird food but also rabbit food too. The birds love their food.

Our resident Blackbird eating his food, Lower Hutt New Zealand

We fed our lovely blackbird this morning. He came along almost as soon as we went out onto the deck with his food. Regular viewers of my videos will be very relieved to know that my wonderful hubby Houston found out how to join video clips together...so there will be no more "part 7 and final" going on!!
The Flight of a Bumblebee

A bumblebee going about his business in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, to the music of "Marigold", a piece of music I found in the RUclips library. I don't know who it's by or who wrote it but RUclips said I could use it without making any accreditation. Thank you RUclips.

An injured Greenfinch Part 1, Lower Hutt NZ
Просмотров 20День назад
Our neighbour brought this lovely little greenfinch to us as he had just found it, but had to leave home straight away to get to an appointment. We said we'd do our best to look after it. It was as if the bird had flown into a window and stunned itself, or something similar. Our neighbour had found the bird lying on the grass. The bird didn't struggle when he was picked up and brought over to u...

Houston tackles the back bank again, Lower Hutt New Zealand. Part 5 and final
Просмотров 5День назад
Houston scales our back bank for a second day in a row to cut down a few more trees/shrubs. He uses a hand held saw and the Stihl secateurs/cutters. He didn't use the little Stihl chainsaw as there was a lot of flax fronds around and they would have clogged the blade if they got caught up in it. There are five parts to this...sorry but I still haven't figured out how to join the videos together...

Nice actually tried it and it tastes amazing
That's awesome! Glad you liked the taste.
Looks good let's drive up the views 😊 for him
59+1 super amazing friend please stay connecte❤❤
i love his little bald head at the end haha
We would fill the birdbath and, right away, have cardinals that would splash almost all the water out of the birdbath. Silly birds. We loved to watch them.
He’s adorable so cute! They’re so incredibly smart :-)
love this!!
I had no idea birds spit out seeds/stones. I'm from Singapore and we've got a ton of birds here, but not so many blackbirds. Thanks for sharing!
I love the sound of this wonderful bird in the early morning. But today I was shocked to find that my cat had caught one.😓
Muy bonito, muchas gracias 💚
Hello from northern Canada! I visited NZ in 2018 and loved birdwatching. Happy holidays.
Thank you for your kind message. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to NZ, I love birdwatching too! I'll bet it's cold in your neck of the woods... You enjoy the festive season too, and thank you for your comments.
@lyndablair1449 Cold and dark! Thanks for posting the video 😊
now this is the content i want to see! what a cutie
Thank you.
ว้าว! นกอาบน้ำ ..น่ารักๆ 😀👍😘
Amazing job, guys! That's quite a staggering effort - you've clearly spent absolutely ages getting all of this ready!!!
Many thanks Greg, Hamish has certainly put in the long yards!! Just a shame it doesn't get dark over here till about 9.15pm, as a lot of the really young kids miss out because it's too late for them. But a lot of people get a lot of enjoyment out of seeing the lights, and we love sharing the "spirit of Christmas". Thanks again.
@lyndablair1449 The cake doesn't sound bad either! What would also be great to see is how the illuminated house looks from further afield, for instance from the other side of the street to really appreciate the spectacle in one shot!
Will see what we can do on a fine night...watch this space!!
Nice job, Lynda and Hamish! Really seems to be warming up there. Greetings from -2 nighttime temperatures in England!
Brrrr...-2!! Thank you for your kind comments Greg. Hamish does most of the work. As I'm sure you'll understand, the Supervisory role that I play is very taxing so I concentrate on that while Hamish is the "hands on" man!!
Thank you Lynda, girlfriend loves it
Love it!
Thanks!!
Wonderful video 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very good brother ❤❤
Very good ❤❤❤🎉
