Here is an interesting video of birdwatching in the Netherlands by Michael de Vries about the birds in his garden. There are not less than 37 species of birds in it, like hawfinches, bullfinches, woodpeckers, bramblings, siskins and more. I have listed the 29 bird names given in order, according to his titles. (I cannot read his language, but the video and music is very delightful. After an into; at about 0:57 he starts giving their names.)

My email is down, but I found out what the “Secretary Bird” was. It’s a Crested Screamer. THIS bird is very beautiful. I wish we had birds like that in the States.
