It's been quite a while since I posted anything! No particular reason, but I do still have a lot of clips from my trip to Ontario in May 😊

I *finally* got around to selecting, editing & clipping all my footage from May's Ontario trip 😁

I still have 30 clips not yet posted, but the time consuming bit is done.

(Tree swallow pic from the last footage I took at Samuel Smith Park on the way to the airport).

Slowly getting through my footage from Ontario all the way back from May this year; about 2 thirds of the way through. Will share some footage from St Aidan's RSPB reserve in the UK from last month shortly though.

SPOONBILLS!

American Goldfinches flitting about in a tree at Wolfe Island, Ontario, May 2025. Just a short trip for a couple of hours; the ferry wasn't going to the main port & the shuttle bus wasn't on. But that was a good thing because we saw loads of birds! #birds #nature #goldfinch #wolfeisland #wildlife

I'm still not even halfway through my Ontario footage yet but thought I'd break it up with something from the UK 😁

Something different to the usual wildlife clips... We were in Ontario, on the boat from Kingston to Wolfe Island, and on the way, saw some sort of training exercise with someone fast-roping out of a helicopter.

For other video uploaders; I recently emailed Bluesky support to ask them if there were any plans to improve video quality.

Reply: "We hear you on video quality, and you're not alone in wanting improvements like higher bitrates and 60fps support."
