The RSPB state that a number of our British bird varieties are in decline. The Song Thrush is one of them, and when one came to visit our garden one fine Spring evening, I just happened to have my camcorder handy.

The footage is a little shaky in places due to using maximum zoom and hand held camera, but there was no time to set up tripod!

  • Great job! Isn't it wonderful to be able see and identify the wild animals!

  • Positive identification is always the most rewarding - hear, see and photograph.

  • Nice job with the green screen too Frank

  • I wanted to do the commentary sitting on the bench behind me in the garden, but the wind played havoc with the mic, so resorted to the green/blue screen. Would have turned out a little better if the room was brighter and if my shirt had been any other colour than blue!

  • so cute!

  • What a sweet little bird, and that is such good footage. You don't need to worry about not having the tripod.
