stormcabbirds birding podcast

Google has been populating my homepage with lots of bird stories. Never asked it to. I guess it's just the nature the beast nowadays. Handy though, as it does the leg work for me.

My dot sight videos on Youtube have always done ok, nothing special, but they have blown right up on Facebook & Instagram. I wasn't prepared for the comments.

Head over to my Youtube for all the new vlogs

Head over to my Youtube to see all the latest vlogs.

Lots in today's podcast, from revisits to big reserves, new filming technique using a GoPro, and big birding news for the UK & Ireland.

Haven't been out at all, so been doing lots of catch up with organising bird footage ready for future projects 

Head over to my Youtube page to watch a fully compressive breakdown of my trips to these 2 great countries.

I discuss all the details of the last minute trip, and good stuff to know. Vlogs are going up now on my Youtube, and vertical videos on all the socials "stormcabbirds"

New Malta vlogs, local patch birds giving me some beautiful video of their singing, an escaped Egyptian vulture, and much more. As always pop over to my Youtube for all the visuals.

A run down of my week holiday with some birdwatching over in Malta. I am currently uploading several vlogs on my Youtube channel with lots of info, video, and photos, so start keeping an eye for those.

In this podcast and corresponding Youtube vlog, I discuss the controversial topic of bird lifers. What counts as a lifer, lifer lists, and what happens when science lumps or splits a species.

Trying a VERY long form for a change. Just left the mic running while I walked around. The thought is that people will just like something quiet playing in the background as they go about their daily business. Let me know if you like this sort of thing.

Negative comments that actually help, I do more local vlogs due to fuel costs, and uploading old vlogs but edited better.

A catch up with all this weeks uploads to Youtube, and my trip out to Joydens Wood where I had a spectacular encounter with a red kite.

I spend the day at Foreness Point, and bring you up to date with all the other goings on with my Youtube uploads.

I talk about my first trip to the show, and all my recent vlogs. Go to my Youtube channel to check everything out - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

A packed week with my second ever trip to Warnham Nature Reserve, filming the walking route to Gatwick from the local housing area, and documenting some local birds. As always, head over to my Youtube for all the corresponding vlogs and other great videos - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

In today's podcast, I go over my little challenge of flying to Faro in Portugal from the UK, doing some birdwatching, then flying home - in the same day. MADNESS. The full vlog with all the visuals is here - https://youtu.be/MZDo7OEcwXg?si=8T2NEdfUtSW8qwWY

I couple of hours spent in a little birding oasis - Southampton old cemetery, while down seeing family. Then I have a good afternoon out observing the local peregrine falcons. Pop over to my Youtube for the vlogs with all the footage & photos - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

A couple of new vlogs are up. A rechargeable trail cam, and the latest chest harness video. Even though I've done 2 before, people keep asking about it.

Update on all new vlogs (available over on my Youtube channel as usual). I'm really stepping up a gear. More uploads, moving to film in 60fps.

A ;ate catch up on my trip to Dungeness where I finally got my first Tundra Bean Geese. At least 7 in the same shot. Stumbling on a big flock of tree sparrows & yellowhammer.

I open with a complaint against my increased content. Is it justified. I think so. Product reviews upcoming, and generally putting the world to rights.

Last night, the 5th of February 2026, I passed the million mark milestone.  For anyone interested, I give a long form explanation of where it started, what I learned along the way, and pass on anything that will help anyone struggling, or thinking of starting a channel. 

I go for a walk to Crossness to film a vlog idea, practise my settings muscle memory, listen to a Robin sing, and all the news on products I am reviewing & my new Amazon storefront.
