Spectacular videography there Rudy. Great to hear all of the calls too. Sometimes we have species here that look similar but the call really highlights their differences.

HI Phill,

Thanks so much for your encouraging words. This is in fact my first video that I'm actually satisficed with since getting the camera 4 months ago. It has taken me that long to get the hang of it, but now I'm loving it.

Full disclosure regarding the bird calls: The original audio tracks for each clip were terrible, full of wind and wind gust noises and the birds were for the most part silent. I collected various bird calls from public domain sources and included them at appropriate places in the video.

Cheers,
Rudy

I had guessed the sounds thing. I have also struggled with sound but am getting better at it. It is great to have such public domain resources and then to see them used so well. It really helps me get more in the moment.

Glad to see you are enjoying yourself now. It is quite a learning curve moving systems, doubly so going mirrorless at the same time. My head struggles at times and I still find myself screwing up when old muscle memory kicks in.
