But can he survive the winter here?

Hi we’re thinking of going to Gambia bird watching ,what time of year did you go and what was the hotel you stayed in called ,love your videus

Green woodpecker been my nemisis too lol glad your up and about all the best to you both Russ

Saw the Chester Junco too

Great videos guys.. we are going to tha Gambia in January and looking forward to the birding. Do you have the contacts/whatsap for your birding guide Musa?

Top twitching 👏

Love your vids you both get around the country do come down to SE anytime?❤

If your ever in the Nottingham area the common at Skylarks nature reserve opposite Holme pierepont watersports centre is an incredibly reliable spot for Green Pecker

Bit macabre but is it likely that the Swallow will survive? Can't imagine it's well suited to the weather and insect food must be very hard to come by at this time of the year

Hi, again. Is the Blackbird in your area a subspecies of the Chinese Blackbird ?

Good Morning to Beth of you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Due to my recent search on several web sources, I have come across several information sources indicating that the Great Tit, the Cinerious Tit and the Japanese Tit all belong to the ONE AND ONE SINGLE species, and that if / when / unless / until ornithology taxonomists determine through DNA 🧬 Testing these birds are separate subspecies of each other. But for now, they are being “clumped together” as one single species. The same situation holds true, according to bird experts, bird enthusiasts, and ornithologists, that the following birds : White Wagtail, Pied Wagtail , and the Japanese Wagtail, as well as the Japanese White-eye (Warbling White-eye), Swinhoe’s White-eye, Asian White-eye, and Indian White-eye, are all “clumped together” as one species regardless of their songs, and plumage colours.

So interesting to hear about what's locally scarce! We have Green Woodpeckers living in a tree cavity in our garden so we see them almost every day, but I never see them around on actual reserves!

There's loads of green woodpeckers here in the South Wales Valleys. I think ants do well on the old mining spoil sites so there are plenty of ant hills for them to feed on. If they're about you can usually hear them from a long distance away as they're pretty noisy.

Got some amazing shots of all the birds! Great video. Have a nice one.

Beautiful footage of the Swallow and Birds of Prey. Drove across the hills of Denbighshire a couple of weeks ago. Not been in that area before. Stunning area. 👍

Hope you enjoyed my local birding patch the sandbach flashes. Well Done on getting the green winged teal that has been on rosemarys flood this last week.

Good to have you back, a few great birds, particularly the red rumped swallow. Got my first green woodpecker this year on the outskirts of Snettisham, we don't have many of them in Scotland so was pleased to eventually see one.

Loved the vid again, really relaxing I visit family a lot in denbigh and never thought it was a great place for birds of prey, you have inspired me to go look. Your filming is really top quality W-vid again learnt loads.

So happy you got the Red-rumped Swallow (and good footage too!). Well spotted with the Green-winged Teal. Green Woodpecker is a nemesis bird for me too (at least as a camera tick). I tried Dunham Massey a couple of times but in spite of hearing one, I didn't manage a sighting, in spite of it being supposedly a great site for that species.

Great to see you back! Great Red rumped swallow. Would of loved to see it

Good to see you out again and getting a lifer too. I'd not realised you still need green woodpecker for the year, hopefully you'll find one soon.

Really interesting keep going

What a great trip! Some birds there that I'd not heard of! The black car reminded me of our Morris 10 we had back in the sixties!

Happy Anniversary!

Great work guys, we have really enjoyed your videos since we found your channel earlier in the year, amazing year of birding for you both, hopefully bump into you at a twitch at some point.

Hi, I was just wondering what do you use to identify birds. Thank clive

Very enjoyable watching this, hope your both well, and look forwards to bumping into you again next year, all the best Russ

Awesome video! Enjoyed this video and just getting to know you all better! Thanks for the shoutout as well! Hope you recover soon!

That was great, well done both of you! Hopefully the first of many! A great couple with admirable ethics! Your channel is always so enjoyable, sharing the thrills of the finding and filming the target bird and also the disappointments of those that get away. (usually only temporarily!) Good luck with all your future dreams, plans and the birds on your wish lists. Don't start back too soon Nigel, health and family first! It was also good to see what equipment you use. I usually travel light with my Nikon ED50 scope.

Got to be honest that was really entertaining didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as your usual vids, I love your channel for it has broadened my bird knowledge ten-fold and have learnt many new species thanks to you, I didn't even know visited the UK. And the icing on the cake was you asked my question which really cheered me so many thanks to you both...heal swift (pun intended)

Great to hear from you both! Love your answer to my spark bird question because I’d love to see the European Robin myself. I think it’s much cuter than our American Robin

Great stuff guys. Love your knowledge, and the fun you have, it comes across well.

Yeah South America sounds goood. Ethiopia and Namibia are also on the list, great choices. Hope you get to go and bird in all these countries.

Really good video, well done 👍

Really enjoyed that both. Been brilliant following your journey throughout the year. Can’t wait to be able to be in a position to get a van. A game changer.

I hate people who use bird song recordings to try and call the birds in

We will add a question for your next podcast...have you ever used a professional bird guide? Follow-on...would ever consider guiding a fellow birder in some of your favorite spots?

Really enjoyable video. My wife Jill and I are big fans of your birding adventures. Very similar to our approach to birding here in the States. Keep it up.

Great video! Interesting answers. Thanks for answering these questions.

Really enjoyed this video hope to see you at sandbach flashes one day keep birding and get yourself right and back out soon 👍

Great , enjoyed your podcast. Didn't get chance to put a question up, but would have asked, "when would you recommend a visit to Spurn ". Hope to bump into you again, maybe Freiston or Frampton Marsh. Get well soon, hope things went well 🙏.

Such an enjoyable watch,well done .So different to what other people put out. May your adventures continue for a long time👏👏👍

Great podcast. It went really well and was very interesting! And a big thank you for answering my question

Hello, as always enjoyed your contribution. If you come to the Netherlands for birding, the island of Texel is a must.

I love your down to earth approach to birding and the enthusiasm you inject into it. Great podcast and I look forward to the next one. Well done!

You are so lucky to share this hobby, my wife has no birding interest so my bird days are few and far between and then on my own 😢

❤Well done 👏

definitely should do more of these

Well done Guys Great entertainment.... 👍👏
