Masked Woodswallows are a nomadic species that can turn up in large numbers often in mixed flocks with White browed Woodswallows. They feed on insects but also on nectar. When conditions are suitable, they build a stick nest, often in the fork of a tree. Once the young are raised, the flocks often move on to other areas. I filmed these in South Australia. 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.
