BIRD VIDEOS
All on YouTube. These top three were filmed with a high speed camera, so show the birds flying in slow motion at one tenth of the normal speed. Click on each video photo to start it playing.
Short clip. Jay taking off, showing how smooth and swift they are.
Short clip. Pigeons taking off, watch the leaves fly, showing the down thrust force of the air under the wings.
Small birds group, see how they stop flapping in mid flight and how lacking in skills they can be.
At the left, this video of a jay in flight from a feeder is even slower motion. Filmed at 600 frames (photos) per second, it plays at one twentieth of the normal speed. The three videos above were filmed at 300 frames per second.
And finally on the right a video at normal speed of blue tits, great tits and a nuthatch flying in and out of a wall mounted birdtable, and being very fussy about which seed or nut they select.

Blue Tit using a nestbox in a local woodland, flying in, then showing the oak moth caterpillar it had found for the nestlings, then flying away afterwards. Doing well despite the period of bad weather.
Great Spotted Woodpecker at hole to feed it's noisy chick.
After being fed the chick looks our to watch the adult go. It's clearly nearly ready to fledge.
