Hey Birdwatchers! It’s been a huge start to the year. Most of my energy has gone into Merlin Birdsong ID annotation and rallying more recordists to jump in and contribute.

There won’t be a standard February birdwalk video this month, it's on the way though.

I’ve been experimenting with a new, story‑driven video format. This episode is available exclusively to members, featuring the behind‑the‑scenes adventure of tracking down the elusive Malleefowl. It’s a wild mix of trusting strangers, last‑minute birding, and a mad dash to catch my flight, packed with close calls, luck, and unexpected friendships.


Don’t worry — in the coming weeks I’ll be releasing a public video featuring a common bird doing something almost never captured on film 😊

Happy Birding

Last night I took 15 keen birdwatchers to Gold Creek Reservoir for a wonderfully atmospheric sunset and nocturnal birdwalk. The first official BirdWalkz and Birds Queensland night time walk!


Together we tallied 28 bird species. We enjoyed views of a Tawny Frogmouth, heard the unmistakable calls of the Australian Boobook, and were teased by three Owlet-nightjars. A lucky few even picked up the distant, haunting call of a Sooty Owl!

The birdlife wasn’t the only highlight. The track came alive with other wildlife too including a small group of fireflies. It was a great time, and no one got stranded in the dark! I look forward to guiding the next one 🙂

Happy Holidays all! In the next video we visit Gluepot Reserve in South Australia. Mallee birds ring through the scrub and the colourful parrots steal the spotlight. Then we return to Adelaide for two fresh hotspots packed with new habitats and standout species.

Hey birdwatchers! The biggest chunk of editing for the next video is finally done - now it's onto sound design. I’ve got some decent ambient tracks from the field, but crafting a clean, natural soundscape takes time: layering audio, scrubbing out people, traffic, the occasional flyover, and sometimes birds can call excessively that it sounds unnatural or annoying (looking at you Noisy Miner!). It’s a labour of love, but I feel real nature sounds provide the best feel for the environment.

The video goes public Friday 7th November - see you then!
