The Fairy Martin is a widespread resident or seasonal migrant across much of Australia and can easily be confused with it's more bulky cousin the Tree Martin ( see upcoming video ). They can be observed, skimming low across the water or land hunting for insects. They nest communally often under causeways and bridges. I filmed these on the Sunshine Coast and also Western 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.
