Awesome thank you for the stunning bird life
Thanks, there are so much more in South Luangwa, I wish I could have seen them all.
I've been loving these videos! What's your setup? I have a hard time getting good video with a telephoto lens that isn't pretty shaky? Do you use a monopod or tripod or are you just ridiculously steady-handed? 😆
Thanks, glad you enjoy them. Will be making a heap more! I do use a tripod, although I have been using a photo tripod (Manfrotto Compact Action), so for video its quite a flimsy setup, but not too bad overall, does what it has too. without a tripod there are moments where I am stable, and moments where I fail, will need to hit the gym XD. In my upcoming video I have a mix of both. I use a sony lens the FE 200-600mm F5.6-63 G OSS. So it has pretty good stabilisation, and use a sony a7s III.
@@birdocs thanks! I'm trying to find a more lightweight tripod to use for better video with my big lens, but I'm currently using a Canon 7D Mark II which doesn't have image stabilization, nor does my lens have amazing IS so I just have to be very, very still - I'll be hitting the gym as well haha
@@nathanmixon39 haha yes these lenses can be quite weighty. I am looking now at these lightweight aluminum video tripods, but the prices are hectic. As you want something that is easy to carry around and set up.
@@birdocs definitely. it may be worth it to just save up a bit to eventually upgrade my camera setup for one that will help me stabilize more itself.
Great video Thanks, friend. Have a nice day.
Thank you! You too!
Fantastic! Thank you for this video! I have to agree about the leopards sightseeing in the Luangwa, best place in the world.
No doubt! Thanks for the comment, have a lovely day.
Lovely day of birding! I really enjoyed the shots you got of the species and your adventure
Thanks, I just hope to get a shot of that brambling.
So much for me to learn, so much on the door step. ❤
There are so many! Thanks for the watch.
Comman chiffchaff. Jip, what a name. Also a sweet sighting
Chiffchaff! Apparantly the name comes from the call they produce.
Short-Toed Treecreeper, what a handsome fella
Def one of my favorit ones to see here!
I may have overdone it with this challenge haha. Hope you find it :D
I am determined.
Looks cold over there
Unfortunately, its getting colder.
Didn't even know Bramblings winter as far south as portugal 😅
It is going to be a good challenge.
Lots of new birds for me to learn! Great video Eugene showing your local area
So many great birds! And plenty I did not capture! Thanks for watching.
I'm surprised not to have seen the Fish Eagles insipite of the calls
They were quite vocal yes, but I did not get to have a good glance.
@birdocs Ooh, I see. By the way, the fish Eagle is the national bird of Zambia
@@shedrackjassen913 amazing bird to have as a national bird!
I've been fortunate to have visited South Luangwa NP twice and enjoyed some fantastic wildlife sightings on both occasions. My knowledge of the area's rich bird life is sadly lacking, however, so it was an education as well as a pleasure to have you identify some native species around camp. Thank you! (Btw, two of my most treasured memories of South Luangwa was seeing the noisy throngs of brilliantly coloured southern carmine bee-eaters nesting in the river banks. And, on night game drives, coming across nightjars resting in the road - including the spectacular pennant-winged nightjar.)
Such an incredible place, and thanks for the comment and you are most welcome. There is some amazing birding in Luangwa, thanks for taking me back with those Carmine Bee-Eaters, I was hoping that I could make it for them but unfortunately my plans did not match that time of year (August - September). They are a spectacle and a half. I cannot wait to go back to Luangwa! Have a nice one!
Woahhhh! Those Little Bee-eaters are stunning! What an amazing array of wildlife! Thanks so much for sharing this!
They really are, thanks for watching, South Luangwa National Park in Zambia has some amazing game viewing. Have a nice one!
The cucumber accents the water in such a way that...
exactly, the flavour of the water is highlighted.
😂 top comment
@@stefankruger9221 a classic
The footage you captured is beautiful!!!!! Such good views of all the species. Thanks so much for taking us along. I love getting to see birds from other countries that I am not familiar with
Hey Hawkin, thank you for that. Hopefully I can find more and more haha. Birding is best!
Wow what a stunning video, fantastic footage. So calm and serene, awesome place ❤ Loved the elephants and the gracious leopard 🐆 Birds were great. Thanks for taking us on this lovely adventure. Can't wait for the next one 😊
Thank you so much, that leopard was a real blessing. South Luangwa is really a special place.
Great video Eugene! Fantastic leopard and elephant shots! Look forward to your next video……. 😊
Thanks Judy, appreciate it!
My goeie Fork-Tailed Drongo... what a Legendary treat of a video. Stunning shots! Like always, never disappoints. Thank you for sharing this great experience. Can't wait to see more. But what a fantastic shot of that Leopard. Beautifull!
the classic Fork-Tailed Drongo. Thanks for the lovely comment.
visit nature kenya and join us birders...good stuff
Can't wait to visit Kenya again, great birding!
I am amazed at the number of species you discovered in such a small area. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Hey, yes Uganda has a pretty number of species, I was only able to bird for a very short time, if I stayed there the whole day it would have been MORE! Have a nice one!
Wow what a location and selection of birds. Many of these are brand new to me so thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks, Uganda is amazing place for birding. Have a nice one.
Great birds in this video! I love seeing a whole bunch of birds I've never heard of before! Great work!
I had a very short time birding, I think if I had more time I would have seen a lot more, crazy place for birding. Have a nice one!
A Majestic stroll while doing some epic birding. Thank You for sharing and for spreading awareness to the fact that a day without birding is a day lost.
Thanks for the comment, a day birding is always epic, brings you out and about whilst looking at some colourful birdies.
😂😂😂 I love Africa
Me too!
Legends
Exactly
Which month is best to visit this area for bird watch and pleade share lication ..... i am from lusaka.
The footage you capture is phenominal!
Hey Michael, thank you, it's always good capturing footage of these feathery friends.
Beautiful
Thank you
the plant that you mentioned in the video is usually called " touch me not" in our country. We are planning to do a trip to nairobi in the September month this year. Do you think we will be able to have a good birdwatching at that time of the year too? oloolua nature trail and brandy bus area is what we are thinking of.
Hey, thanks for the ID of the touch me not. Interesting little plant. For me East African birding is prime and any time is good. Although the european migrants are not here yet, they will be starting their routes soon. Oloolua needs a good day with patience, listening and observing. But around Nairobi for me Karen side where these stops are, are always good for birding.
Super nice ❤!!!!!!love it what is a good place to staying in the Cederberg???
Hey, I am not very clued up on places to stay in Cederberg but airbnb provides some good options and ideas.
As i used to live in Lusaka in 1950 to 1965 i loved your brilliant program and bird pictures with sounds thanks .
Hey, thanks. Lusaka always amazes me with every visit, so much diverse birding in that district.
Hi Eugene, love your videos. When you visit Tanzania again please reach out so I can show you other great spots for birding. 10:28 it's a Meyers Parrot call. Also, check your DM. - J
Hey, thanks. I will do, once I am that side again, I would love to learn more about birding spots around Tanzania. So much birding possibilities in TZ! Thanks J.
Great videos ! Excellent sound capture as well, I almost fell I was back in lilongwe, I have lived tree years in area 10. Did you visit South Luangwa over the border in Zambia? Please create more of these it is really nice!
Hey, thats good yeah it is always a great reminder of Lilongwe when I listen back! Area 10 is a special place for birding! I have been yes, Luangwa is amazing! I will create more and thanks for watching!
Hi there! I'll be coming to portugal next year the birding looks fabulous ! Great video, subbed back 🤗😉
I have most of these birds in my garden in Karen ,but didn't know their names . Thanks
No problem, happy birding!
Awesome video. I like how the birds are filmed at a higher fps, the movements are so smooth! I think I might take that advice drinking camomile tea advice next time I miss a target bird 😂 Look forward to future videos
Hey, you can also see the bird for a longer time and more clearly in a higher fps which I like. Camomile for the win, the fields here in Portugal were filled with camomile, quite strong when freshly picked. Thanks! Have a nice week!
Hello! I just checked out your video and subscribed. Love your video style and photography. I can’t wait to visit Portugal again. I wasn’t really into birding when I was there in Porto, Lisboa and the Algarve back in 1986.
Hey! Appreciate the sub, and thanks. I recently moved here and am really enjoying it still plenty of birding to discover which I am excited for. Portugal is really a lovely little space.
Great work u doing
Thank a lot!
Interesting
Hey Rachid, how are you?
Nice and so wonderful video
Thank you!
Obrigado por compartilhar suas experiências, Eugene. Muito bonito. Polegares para cima. 👍 Desejo-lhe uma semana agradável. Atenciosamente, Knut.
Hi Knut, many thanks. Hope you have had a great week and enjoy your weekend!
Thank you very much. 😃 You too.
I started being amazed by your videos in Malawi and now just came across this one. Continue to love your video and seeing beauty in Portugal now through your eyes . All the best
Hi Herminia, thank you for the kind words, I cannot wait to go back to Malawi one of these days! Have a nice day!
