The Dusky Woodswallow is widespread down the East Coast of Australia preferring dry forest. They tend to remain faithful to a general area but if conditions change, they will migrate to more suitable feeding areas and sometimes flock with other Woodswallow species. They are ariel hunters, hawking on flies and other insects. I filmed this nesting pair near Warwick on the Great dividing range. 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.
