Learn how to record video footage of birds. This episode is about a passionate ornithologist, conservationist and film-maker who has some great advice about creating bird videos.

Scot McPhie is the convenor of the Darling Downs local branch for Birdlife and he runs the social media channel Bird Bites. He has a BA in Anthropology, and a Grad Dip in Ornithology. He's been into birds for over 50 years, ever since he first saw a flock of Red-collared Lorikeets when he was five years old in Darwin. Scot has also done a lot of film making and is currently working on a three-part documentary about Australian birds.
