The Grey Fantail is a common bird of Rainforest and woodland. There are a number of sub species in Australia and some are seasonal and attitudinal migrants. They are incredibly active birds that spend much of their day hawking for insects. I filmed these at various locations in SE Queensland. Tim Siggs. ABVC. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
Enjoy.
