The Swamphen is prolific in New Zealand where its called Pukaka.

Awesome trip to France! Great work 🇫🇷

Brilliant video Guys. Take care, cheers, John.

Finally, Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR also has the Chinese Blackbird 🐦‍⬛! We also have a numerous numbers of Bulbuls .

Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR also has the Hoopoe bird.

In the semi-rural areas of the New Territories in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, we also have a number of shore birds including : various species of Egrets, Plovers, Herons, White-breasted Waterhen, Grey Wagtail, White-Wagtail, as well as other birds like Black Kite, Greater Coucal along with other local b.

That terrapin looked like a red-eared slider. They’re turtles native to the south eastern United States and are introduced almost everywhere.

Another great video, well worth staying up to watch. Thanks for your taking the time to upload them and what a lovely family you are!!

Super video....as always! I always look forward to you releasing new ones and this time I've been spoiled because it's in two parts!! The vulture you saw was the griffon vulture (not griffin...sorry🙈....) which you can also see in southern Spain and on Mallorca. Yellow legged gulls are also very common in those two places. I'm in Germany at the moment and Serins and Black redstarts are birds I've seen quite often.....and the Ring necked parakeets, which roost in swarms here. With the racket they make and the sh.t they leave under their roosting trees, often in town centres,wring neck parakeets would be a better name (because many would like to wring their necks).Please keep on birdwatching for I'd miss your videos!

Beautiful places, Beautiful Birds and Beautiful footage! And congrats on all your lifers of course! What a great trip!

Red-eared Terrapin?? We had 2 rescues years ago.

Hey Guys, great part 2. Brought back again all the lovely memories l have of the Camargue, years ago. Take care, all the best, John.

I can never miss your videos they keep me entertained, great video!!

Fantastic vlog as always, I’m just being to organise a trip to this area, so it was great to see where you went. What company did you rent you gite

Nice video Nigel (we met in Somerset). Did I perchance spot a preening Feruginous Duck - white undertail coverts - in the background behind the Grt Flamingos? Immediately after the Lifer For Kayleigh Y-L Gull.

Awesome video! This was one of my favorites so far! Also... I had no idea there was a species of flamingo in France haha

Great video but the "beaver" wasnt actually a beaver it was a nutria they are very common in europe.

Great video, I really like your channel

Great video enjoyable as always 👍

Great video. The beavers are Coypu i think

What a lovely trip! I'm already looking forward to the next video! Lots of great birds! Let alone some stunning insects!

always such a fun video, Hope you have a great time!

set a personal race to beat you since our lists are near the same we on 227 now

Just found you recently & have subbed. As a lifelong birdwatcher l loved the video. Back in the 70's, as a Zoology student, a group of us went for a 4 week field trip to the Camargue. (studying a burrowing Bee called Bembex). I'll never forget the bird life down there! A highlight for me were the amazing numbers of Bee Eaters with their lovely, chirping trill. All the best, John.

I think ur Beaver were Coypu, a large river rat, they lije lakes too. They like to dive on ur bait when ur carp fishing😡

Watching again and enjoying it as much as the first time!

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

Nice sightings! I saw a common scoter on the Menai straits. Didn't realise they were rare.

How many of these did you find for yourself? Or have you just been following the flock?

As a Canadian birder, it's so cool to see you get just as excited over our birds. Great list

Apologies but I could't watch beyond the Black-throated Diver. Call me pedantic but the lack of hyphens in the bird names is beyond irritating. They're there for a reason.

So many amazing birds visiting the UK! Great video!

Once in a lucky chance on the waterfront shoreline near where I live in the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, both the Grey Wagtail and White Wagtail birds do appear.

Impressive, educational and interesting. Thanks.

Do U2 use eBird

Good to have you back Great video looking back so far in 2024 Roll on autumn 😊

What a great look back at those goodies you've seen so far! I reckon an autumnal long weekend on the north Norfolk coast would assist you on your birding quest with a Cromer crab for tea of course!

That Myrtle Warbler was great indeed! Lucky to get in in the Netherlands, but only managed two photo's at the time.

always love seeing your videos, what lovely birds you have seen this year

Peregrine for me, sorry, but with the way you are going, I believe that you will exceed your target! Always exciting to see how you are getting around and obtaining all the great footage!

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!

Excellent video as always! Great list so far as well. Hoping for the Pratincole tomorrow on my way up to Scotland

You forgot the bird pheasant seen in Worcestershire

Your videos are always enjoyable so thanks for posting. I’m amazed you’re so close to your goal already, its really impressive. Good luck getting the ladt few though to get to 240

I didn't get to Minsmere that weekend as hoped after all (and still not been up there). It would have been lovely to say 'Hello'. But your schedule saw you there a day after I'd expected to go. Being a gardener, I am playing catch up due to the awful weather, so any birding I've done has been more local. I am also binge watching your latest videos too as I have fallen behind. As I watched your quest for Dartord Warbler, I wondered if you would have gone on to Dunwich Heath, overlooking Minsmere. But saw that you eventually got footage of one and the more evasive nightingale! Spoonbill and Stone Curlew too, A hard slog but you both did so well. Chilli too and cooked in a pan similar to the one I use! Anyway, I've more of your videos to enjoy, so will do that right now! Thank you for sharing your adventures, they are always a good watch!

I think Peregrine

Hi I’ve seen quite a few hobby’s and peregrine and after watching the video a few time I’d say it’s a male Peregrine

Congrats on finding such a cool bird! Great progress on your challenge as well!

"Nigel gets a lifer without me". Audience notes significant look and worrying lack of Nigel in the intro.

Another good video..thanks ...
