I once saw a Golden Eagle in North Wales, gliding almost effortless over the mountains that surround Llamberis, and in particular flying between Dinowig and Deiniolen. In the 10-15mins I watched, slowly drifting along the hanging valleys, where once stood slate tips, the Eagle barely flapped it's wings twice. One remaining breeding pair were known in Wales at the time. This around 1988-89, and I never saw it again. It will be really good to hear where they have been successfully reintroduced in England and Wales.
What a nice experience. I haven't looked into golden Eagle distribution but I suspect they will be spreading naturally as a result of the higher protection and awareness they currently have.
I feel blessed to have grown up in wales. The birds of prey (in particular the raptors) are so easily spotted. You really don’t have to walk far to see a red kit for example. It was lovely.
Here’s a fun fact. Large non-avian dinosaurs would’ve actually sounded a lot like bitterns, and not the mammalian roar you hear in the media. Fossils of T. rex’s ear bones suggested it was adapted to hear infrasound, likely from members of its species. This means large dinosaurs would’ve made deep calls from bittern-like booms to alligator-like bellows
Also I heard lapwings at Middleton Lakes today.
How interesting is that! I wonder if the different atmosphere affected how noise traveled and if that impacted how dinosaurs communicated.
Fancy seeing you here Mikail
@@AShotOfWildlife you’d not only hear it but also feel it. Your bones would rattle
Loved how put this idea together Liam, so very interesting, well done 👏
Excellent as ever, would be amazing to have this with more small garden song birds please.
Thank you. These were picked randomly from a selection of more than 100 but strangely not many garden birds came out. However, that does mean that next time will probably have more garden birds and I'll definitely cover them all at some point :)
The spoonbills 😂 love it hahaha … nice relaxing video Liam nothing beats listening to birds to help chill out
Haha, 2 people have commented thus far pointing me to a resource for animal noises I hadn't heard of before which does have spoonbills on it... Next time!
Great video, love the red kites. We're lucky enough to have them flying over our town and they are such beautiful impressive birds 😍
Absolutely awesome 😊👍😊
Thank you!
We have tons of chiffchaff in my childhood village. To me it was the defining noise you would mostly hear.
Brilliant again, thanks
Thanks for this! Now I know the little bugger singing outside my window is a European goldfinch - quite adorable!
I love the chiffchaff call. Living in Hertfordshire, I often hear red kites.
Nice.
What a brilliant idea to do this video (I just watched the other one as well). Thank you, Liam, I have found this very helpful. Need to keep both in my Watch Later list, for future reference!
Just bought a tshirt. It's a win win. I get to support a fantastic channel and rock a stylish tshirt. I love the fox design by the way 👍🏽
Thanks Brian. I really appreciate it. I'm so happy with the design to be honest, I can't take creative credit but I did direct the designer. Let me know when it arrives if you like it. Cheers!
@@AShotOfWildlife will do 👍🏽
@@SlowToe thanks!
Great stuff Liam.
Thank you!
Thanks Liam! Love the content of your videos✌🇬🇧👌
The red-legged partridge sounds like it's blowing kisses.
Yeah, it's a strange call. I first heard it coming from behind a hedgerow in the middle of nowhere. I didn't expect a partridge!
Your videos are highly addictive lol
I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Ace! Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
Great idea, how often have we heard a bird and never seen it?
There are loads of spoonbill recordings on Xeno Canto
Thanks David. I will definitely use that site for the next of these videos! Cheers
I hear most of these at my work but it's near a natural pond and quite a bit open land. my colleague heard a flock of geese once. I explained they were sparrows flocking but we didn't like that as they didn't want to be wrong so I agreed OK they're geese 😅
Fantastic, a wonderful array of bird sounds. Thank you.
Thank you!
What a great video: Close-ups of each species, complete with calls, and the name printed onscreen, and all condensed into less than 4 minutes - ideal for busy people. Thanks.
Always enjoy your videos it's a shame that some birds and animals sadly will only be able to see on the Internet or in a book if things don't change
Anyone know what bird sounds like a loud squak? Its in two notes the sound it makes and i hear it every now and then in my garden but i cant figure out what it is?
I cant help you here, but if you do manage to record it, find me on social media and share it- I will be able to identify the call if I hear it.
Also- check the call of grey squirrels as it could be that.
bro why does the eurasian bittern sound like im waiting to join a video call
haha, I think it sounds like someone moving a heavy chair over a wooden floor.
Always liked the call of the curlew on the shores but not very common these days. Thanks for the video.
We have some of these in the U.S...
Which ones do you have over there?
@@AShotOfWildlife From this group: Common Tern, Barn Swallow and Mallard.
Such a wonderful diversity of birds in the UK now, it wasn't like this thirty years or so ago. A great testiment to environmental reclamation of habitat. Nice HAIRCUT btw! Same as mine 🙂🙂🙂😮😎🤣🤣
Haha, thanks. I didn't have much choice but didn't realise how much effort being bald would be. I've a few more videos like this lined up so stay tuned for those.
@@AShotOfWildlife Yup, keeping it shaved/cropped is a royal pain in the a...
thanks for the series, and especially for names on the screen
You're welcome. I had written this video to be one hundred birds bit I decided to make it several shorted ones instead, so keep an eye out for more in the future. Cheers!
Lapwing calls are very distinctive and unusual. TIL.
Is there bird with a very loud call that sounds similar to cat meowing? It was 3am Dorset?
Another great video Liam, try Xeno-Canto for the Spoonbill call, you can find pretty much every bird call there. Not sure on rules for copying or copyright though!
Thanks Andy! They do have spoonbill calls, I hadn't heard of the site before but it'll come in useful for future videos for sure!
@@AShotOfWildlife it is a tremendous resource for all types of bird calls, glad to be of help 👍
I've been hearing a bird in the trees behind my garden never heard b4 then I came across your page and heard it I now know what it is a chiffchaff
Sleeping in my van near Nottingham and was woken up by a bird call that was almost a single note "ting" of someone playing a triangle. Any ideas? Lasted for a while.
Great job again Liam!
Bloody chiff chaff been waking me up lol
Loved the lapwing call! I've always thought eagle's never sound like how you expect them to - they all have such high pitched shrills. The bittern's call reminded me of a ground hornbill's. Great vid Liam!
Thank you. I agree about the eagles, I suppose high pitched noises must be useful for them for some reason.
@Dawn King thank you!
The Egyptian goose is a classic British bird
Great video. We also get Great tit, magpie, sterlings in our garden. Great tit makes the cutest sound ever but never gets close to us!
love the kites we have several ware we live the crows and magpies dont like them though allways chasing them away unusuall when you see the size of them close, up we live on the first floor of our flat and sitting in 7 achres there allways around and fantastic when they giv us a display flying past our window with there huge wingspan great video goes well with the previous one thanks for showing interesting birds
Another amazing video, thank you Liam.
Cheers :) I have several more like this lined up, more than 100 birds in total, so stay tuned for those. (After some longer wildlife videos)
We love your video's ❤
Some beautiful bird songs. The Eurasian Bittern sounds like our Australian Emu with that hoop hoop noise. I love the sweet call of the Golden Eagle and the Kite. Thank you.
Thank you. My laptop speakers couldn't produce the bittern noise and at first I thought it was an issue with my ears, until I put headphones on. Phew!
What bird in the countryside sounds like a long whistle? Might be a kite... We do have a few birds of prey about
👍
there are some awesome birds and their calls on this list Liam. nice video dude.
you made me laugh with the spoonbills, i appreciate that humour.
have a great week :D
Thanks Calvin. Always nice to see your name pop up on my videos. I hope things are going well with you.
@@AShotOfWildlife doing alright here thanks - i am never sure i am being a nuisance! but thank you for your kind reply. :)
Living in the suburbs of Reading, we have so many red kites here, always one gliding around, not uncommon to see 10 at once, have seen 20+ at the same time, that call is so distinctive. Weve had friends down sitting in a pub garden asking why we arent paying attention to 15 birds of prey circling above, but its just a normal day for us here
I ❤❤❤❤bitds no matter where they're from❤❤❤❤
Theres one I'm looking for in particular. It sounds like it's someone whistling at you like a human would. Think opposite of a wolf whistle instead of a Weeepwooo noise it's a woooweeep.
It repeats that constantly woooweeep, woooweeep, woooweeep. If we whistle that word 👆 it that's exactly what it sounds like. It's not an owl it's a small hedge living songbird. It sounds like someone is whistling at you and taking the piss?? I'm in Highlands of Scotland. Still no idea what it is, heard it dozens of times, I can never see it, their like a Ninja.
Woooweeep woooweeep woooweeep all day long 🤣
Cute little squeak from the Plover
nort london that is?
I dont understand what you are asking?
Great. Thanks!
You're welcome, thanks!
Love the Red Kite
I have dome a full fact file on them, if you're interested. You'll be able to find it by browsing my channel, or searching for "things you need to know about red kites". Cheers!
No calls of a spoonbill? I'm shocked if you haven't heard of ebird.
I meant that I couldn't get one which I am allowed to share on RUclips.
