We have a species of bustard here in Australia. I've seen them in the desert, elusive & very well camoflauged. Sometimes called a " bush turkey".

They used to have a bustard re-breeding project on the ranges at porton down(government establishment on edge of salisbury plain),in the early 70's! I lived there as a youngster,and had the privilege of seeing lots of these rare birds all in one place! I'm not sure how successful the project was,but having watched your video,it's good to hear they're still surviving on salisbury plain!👍

videos are always quality, I've been trying my best to keep up with your year tally however I've fallen behind a bit to 166 due to uni work. Hoping to catch up a little over the summer in Cornwall. Happy Birding!!!

We have the White Wagtails and Grey Wagtails in the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR around and in the semi-rural areas and at beachfronts.

Another great video. Hope you’re all feeling better very soon.

My goodness, what troopers you are, heading off feeling poorly, but still smiling despite everything. What a disappointment that the battery went flat whilst filming the kingfisher! The bustards were fantastic, well spotted! Then a late night being tired before you could all retire as the van needed to be re-tyred! Hopefully the lay in revitalised you all to enjoy the rest of the trip. I hope that you are all fully recovered now!

We have the Cinerious Tit in the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR along the waterfront promenade garden parks.

There's a bustard called Gertrude that hangs about at Stonehenge being fed by tourists. Probably a captive bred bird that was a bit too habituated to people. I'm not sure if she still counts as wild now though.

Congrats on the 2k subs!! Well deserved!

I live on the edge of The New Forest & have noticed over the last 10yrs or so the wildlife has diminished considerably. I go to Eyeworth pond @ Fritham & rarely see much there now.

Glad you enjoyed Wilts & the New Forest. Willow Tit does not occur in the New Forest where Marsh Tit is locally common. There are a few relict populations of WIllow Tit in Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire & eastern Hampshire but these are unlikely to be seen without detailed local knowledge; and even these are dying out rapidly! They used to occur at Pennington Flash near Manchester coming to bird feeders in front of the "bunting" hide.

Great video. As someone just getting into birding, these videos really help learning new species. Cheers

Great to see the Great bustards!! lovely video

Same, I’m planning a trip down that way, are you able share a rough locality

Nice work. Wiltshire is my area and im doing a Wiltshire year list. Let me know if your back and I can help you guys out with your needs list.

I’m off to Dorset for a week in a short while and I’m hoping to have a look around for Bustards on the way. Any ideas whereabouts roughly to go on Salisbury Plain?

If you need willow tit, wheldrake ings is a stronghold for them near York. Great video.
