    Hi Rob, have wanted to create something similar to your 'virtual bird-walks' for years but you have definitely come up with some innovative and great new media, well-done. What equipment do you use for the capture and editing? I'm particularly impressed by the audio, it really-works. If you find yourself in the Dayboro area, get in touch, would love to discuss the technology (...and birding 😉) with you. Tom

    Hey Rob ... camera do you use ... what do you suggest for a starter bird camera ?

    Hi, I use a Nikon P950. It provides a long enough range to get the bird in view and is much lighter and cheaper than an SLR or mirrorless (though these have better quality). If you are after a cheaper or starter camera, for capturing birds you'll want one with at least x10 zoom and with a viewfinder. Otherwise it's just too hard to capture the birds.

    G’day Rob Thanks for your videos For the last few years from around November to March in the thicker parts near the top of Burleigh Headland there is a call that is driving me nuts When I stop to see where it’s coming from it stops The call is a distinct kuk kuk kuk Any ideas as when they are around I hear it almost daily and have not yet been able to spot it

    Hi Paul, it's always hard to ID a bird call by text. Could it be a Tawny Grassbird? Next time you hear it, record it on your phone and send it to me via Facebook messenger and let's solve the mystery :-)
