The video is stunning and the synchronization of the audio is so good that we felt like we were watching them outside our window!

It is a beautiful bird and we used to enjoy watching them on our local river while we kayaked. We were unaware of their generous nature and now we appreciate them even more.

The variety of clips was most enjoyable and the music was a delight.

Cool!

Very beautiful tune for a very beautiful bird. It is very rare here in Finland, I have managed to see it only five times, but each time has been a pleasant surprise, even during a winter. I have capture some kingfisher videos myself, but unfortunately they are not professional quality.
Your tune plays a nice tribute to that bird, fits perfectly for a nature soundtrack. I enjoyed especially that nylon guitar.

Hi Jani (I just learned from reading the posts here),

Well, the post of J&B comes the closest to my feelings.
Unfortunately YT did not work, but FT did. I liked a lot what I saw and heard.
Although SC had a better sound (as I read) I prefer to see pictures or a video when there is a instrumental involved.
What a beautiful animal, and how lovely to see it sharing a catch.
But what a beautiful song too, so sensitive and/or toughing. It matches the video completely.

Thanks for sharing!

Hans

Hi Janice & Bud,

Often we think we know nature and it always surprises us if we approach it closely. The kingfisher is a bird that gives without necessarily wanting a return. Many animals have ampathy that many humans do not necessarily. All these animals have sensitivity, sociability, suffering and intelligence that we are currently discovering. I am happy to hear your comment, nature lovers. thank you for your nice comment.

The music itself evokes a feeling of a bird in flight.

Such a beautiful bird! The video clips are gorgeous.

Nicely done.

Hi BlueAttitude,

Apologies for the delay in my response. I'm glad you like this video and music. The video editing took me a lot of time but I don't yet have a good command of the magix tool which allowed me to create it. Many thanks for your nice comment.

Hi Jannesan,

The kingfisher is a beautiful bird, very sociable, even its peers, which returns to the banks of our rivers in Belgium after several years where he was hardly present. For the nylon 2200 guitar, I got the guitar set I wanted after numerous tests in the biab classic and not the biab vst. Thank you for your nice comment

Hi Birchwood,

We cannot remain indifferent to the life of this beautiful, sociable bird which willingly shares its food with its fellow birds. It makes me happy that you were able to see the video because without it, this melody doesn't make much sense. Thank you very much for your nice comment.
