We were lucky enough to have a White-plumed Honeyeater nest in our backyard recently. Over a period of time I took videos. This is one of the videos I took showing the parent coming in to feed the chicks.

Sand Goanna and the cicada

We were at some friends place to play some tennis.While I was there, I saw this Sand Goanna wander through the bushes and then come under the pool fence with a cicada. I then watched it walk across the back verandah until it finally found a nice place behind a pot plant. Hope you enjoy the movie.

Video of Arafura Fantail pair building a nest

My brother, Dad and I saw these Arafura Fantails at Mamukala Wetlands in Kakadu NP building a nest. We sat and waited for them to come back to their nest for quite some time. This is the best video I took. I hope you like it.

Video of Red-collared Rainbow Lorikeets at Batchelor - beautiful colours, lovely steady video

At the caravan park we are staying at, the manager feeds the Galahs and Little Corellas each morning and afternoon. Sometimes, the Red-collared Rainbow Lorikeets come too. Yesterday afternoon they were flying around but didn't come to feed. This morning though, I waited for nearly two hours. Below is a Youtube video of some of the best videos I have ever taken of birds. I think you will agree after watching, these birds really are stunning. I hope you enjoy the video.

Orange-footed Scrubfowl in Darwin video

I saw this Orange-footed Scrubfowl early this morning when my brother and I were going to the toilet from our caravan. When we came back, dad said he'd seen it too and I followed it with my camera to a nearby garden. I hope you enjoy the video.

Video of Owlet-Nightjar during the day

My brother, dad and I are on a trip to Darwin, Litchfield, Mary River/Kakadu and spent the first night at Lake Woods, near Elliott. After we woke up in the morning, dad packed up our van while my brother and I went bird-watching, he went one way and I went another. I was taking a video of some pelicans when I noticed a Wedge-tailed Eagle. It flew over some trees and I went to follow it. I was in the trees when this thing brushed my shoulder and sat on a branch about 5 steps away from me. It turned out to be a little Owlet-Nightjar, a lifer for me. I hope you enjoy the video.

Black Kite in the back yard with a Crow chasing it off a branch

Yesterday, dad and I went out to the park through the back fence and watched a lot of Black Kites and a few Whistling Kites circling around our place and the park. In this video, a Black Kite swoops in and perches on a branch, has a bit of a look around, and then is chased off by a Little Crow. I hope you enjoy the video.

Cockatiels drinking at Redbank Waterhole on Owen Springs Station

I went with Dad down to Owen Springs Station. We had to get up really early and left home before 5 o'clock n the morning. We got to Redbank Waterhole just before the sunrise. We were hoping to see lots of budgies come to drink. Dad took a photo of me when I was trying to take videos of Zebra Finches:

The budgies were everywhere I reckon about 5000, dad thought more like 2-3000, but they wouldn't come down to drink. We moved up the waterhole a bit and the Cockatiels did come down to drink. Here are two videos I took:
