Thanks, very informative 👍🏼

This made me feel a bit sad as I haven't seen a house martin for ages, but I used to love seeing them in the 1970s and 80s when I lived in Canterbury and they were always flying above the streets. After reading Tony Soper's Bird Table Book in the late 70s, I followed his instructions for making a fake nest using polyfilla, a kid's football, and some brown poster paint. When it had dried out, I stretched out of the bedroom window and attached it to the wall under the eaves. The birds ignored it that year, but next spring it was occupied by a pair of house martins and in subsequent years they built their own nest next door too. Unfortunately, like so many bird species they're much rarer these days.

👏👍🥰✌️

Ive bought a house martin nest, hopefully will see it being used

Good evening from Spain, We have nine nests this year, up from seven last year and a few birds overwintered here.

Good video Liam. Esp on house martins. As I had the best of the house martins playing on cd . See you on your next adventure

Thank you Liam !!!

Love that you posted this right as I came inside after watching some house martins. Great timing!

Thanks Liam, lovely little birds. Might have seen a couple of them by the river this lunchtime, not sure but definitely seen a few swallows fly over my house yesterday.

I miss seeing house Martin's nests on the side of houses there seemed to be many when I was younger but I see less today sadly

Thanks! 🐦

I enjoy watching them each year ..For such small birds they are remarkable.Thanks a lot Liam 🙂 and liked

Thanks Liam, for interesting commentary on house martins. Always amazed by their migrations. Nice one! 😊 👍

We have a similer bird called a Tree Swallow here in America.

?????Nothing came up about swallows.

Definitely not seen those in my garden😢

Another great and interesting upload. I have seen egrets on te coast here in Somerset.

This is bullfinch.

Hey! I just found your channel doing research for my own. I'd like to partner with you as the American counterpart to showcase native wildlife over here. I'd love to figure out a way to help each other grow

Must admit 30 or so years ago they tasted great with sage and mushroom stuffing,not into that now.

Great vid of one of my favourite birds. Whats not to love about these lovely little birds?

I LOVE moorhens! They are unbelievably cute!

The greys are killing all the beach trees under 6 years old ,stripping bark. They are vermin not native should not be here

Seen them Asian hornets a few times in Wrexham north wales

I have a black bird as a pet

I love coots but feeding them is very difficult because geese are greedy and bully them. They definitely don’t live in easy conditions being so small living among giant bullies.

I hadn't realised the range of colours they can have. Interesting, thanks.

We have lots of oystercatchers in North America. They breed in my New York City beach!

I hunt squirrels in my home state of Arkansas, and they are not to be underestimated. More people used to eat them here but small game hunting has declined a lot over the past few decades.

I prefer the name Rotkehlchen than Robin

I have a room at my stables he is my friend I chat to him he lived in the trees around my yard I share my cereal bar with him he likes them I call him Bob and when I say hello Bob he comes and he always knows where I am even when I'm in my hat barn he finds me 🇬🇧🇫🇴

I LOVE YOU. I AM ALWAYS LEARNING TOO

Animals such as this are more proof than ever that we are all the same at our core. This bird has led a rough life, all cause it looks different from its peers. I bet even his parents hated him.

Great video, I was walking my dog in the local park near to where I live when I young roe deer darted out of the bushes right in front of me and the dog, I could have touched it but I reckon it was running about 25 miles a hour, it ran back into the bushes, I have seen this deer now 3 times but that was the closest I've been to it.

great effort

Troubling to hear about the decline in EU. That being said They are flourishing here in Canada. They were once a fall and winter bird here in Ontario. Now they are here year round and large numbers.

I read that the oldest osprey in the world is Iris in Missoula Montana USA and she laid 3 eggs a couple weeks ago or so.

fantastic birds

'The little wren can raise up ten, and bring them all up like gentlemen.'

Aha! so their call explains the name of Professor Yaffle in Bagpuss. He would've been a Green Woodpecker, if only someone had taken the time to paint him.
