00:04I've just come up for a little drive this afternoon after this morning's
00:13exertions getting up so early to get out onto the Lake Delta to photograph the
00:17pelicans and I'm just driving along the embankment near to Kokimi village just to
00:24see what I might spot if anything in the heat of the day it's it's not easy to
00:30spot that much it seems that most most birds are fairly quiet but I just
00:37spotted a woodchart shrike I didn't manage to get a decent shot because he
00:41was where he was perched it was right behind all the twigs and everything so
00:45those were all in the way not making a very clean shot but it's a beautiful
00:51little bird and it's lovely to see them I'm just going to move forward because he
00:57flew back to another one of these
01:03shrubs behind me it seems to be his little territory so I hang around he should
01:30see if I can get any better photos and video of him because he's a beautiful little bird I'd love
01:38for you to see him so I'll check back with you in a bit hopefully with some decent
01:42images of the woodchart shrike
01:44so that was fantastic the little woodchart shrike he sat on top of this on a bear shrub on the
01:58topmost branch
01:59it's gave me a clean shot fairly distant but still a nice shot I think and I think I got
02:04a little bit of video of him as well so I'll be showing you that as well in a sec
02:16so I'll keep going around on the embankment here
02:22and see if I might spot anything else I'm really hoping I might see some golden
02:29aureole because there's so many fig trees and I love fig figs in fact in Greek they call them fig
02:35eaters
02:37golden aureoles so I would love to see one of them and maybe photograph it as well video it for
02:43you
02:44they're absolutely beautiful birds as well
02:49so I'll keep going and see what else I turn up catch up with you in a bit
02:55so it seems that today is my day for a shrike I just saw and photographed a redback shrike
03:02and I just placed on top of this crystal spinning tree here
03:08didn't manage to get any video of it but I got a couple of shots off and that was fantastic
03:13because
03:13it's another beautiful beautiful little bird
03:21I might hang here for a little bit because there's a fig tree opposite
03:25and there might be a chance of golden aureole if they visit
03:31so we'll and he might come back as well the shrike the redback shrike might come back
03:38so I'll hang here for a bit and see if I get lucky
03:43the redback shrike didn't come back yet but just in front of me on another tree
03:50were perched right at the top male and female would chat shrike so I got a couple of shots of
03:57them
03:58again no video it's sometimes it's too difficult just to switch over to video
04:05so but I hope you like the photos anyway so it's nice to see male and female together like that
04:11so that was cool I don't think anything is coming here so I'm gonna move down the track a little
04:17bit
04:17and see if I might spot anything else
04:20so I'm gonna do one more patrol along here along the embankment and see if I can find anything
04:32with the last light of the day and I'll be sure to show you if I do but in the
04:38meantime
04:40thanks again for watching and hopefully I'll be bringing you more videos from Greece on this trip
04:45I have a few more days to myself
04:49not at Kergini but I'm headed somewhere else hopefully that'll prove to be something special
04:55so yeah thank you again for watching
