Playlist on reptiles and amphibians to come
Although my nature channel Birding Visions focuses on birds, a number of the videos contain footage of reptiles and amphibians. This is not too surprising since I have been out herping since the age of 5, with the dream of becoming a research herpetologist or museum curator. Anyway, to make a long story short, I decided to start a Reptiles and Amphibians playlist. Several videos with a focus on herps will be added in 2020 and I will also add links to "bird" videos with timestamps to the herp shots so viewers can jump right in.
Welcome to BIRDING VISIONS – portraits and sound recordings of birds and their habitats, sharing the sublime beauty of nature. These wildlife videos are both documentary and impressions of an experience. I hope you get a sense of being there: from the Rock Wren of remote Willis Creek Slot Canyon, Utah, singing Whinchat in the coastal heathland of Norway, a band of Arabian Babblers in the desert sands of Israel, to soaring Kites over Kyoto, Japan.
The playlists are organized by geographical region and topic (singing birds, shorebirds, etc). The 200+ videos are from many different places across the globe, with a focus on birds of North America and the Western Palearctic, including Europe, Israel and Morocco. This is a non-monetized no-ads channel. Contact clive.bramham@gmail.com for licensing of footage and other enquiries.
