Video - An introduction to the natural history of Parsley Bay (the first video I have made)

Parsley Bay is a wonderful little inlet that I loved visiting as a child. Over Christmas 2019 I was in Sydney so early on the morning of Boxing Day, 26 December, I went for a snorkel in the bay. On a whim, I took my GoPro5 with the idea that I may want to film while I was snorkelling so I could make a movie later on. This video was my first attempt at making a movie and I really enjoyed the experience. Somewhat ironically, given the focus of this website, the film was not about birds nor about Canberra. With any luck, the next video will be in line with the content of this site. I hope you like the video I have posted at YouTube. I have pasted the description below.

“Parsley Bay is a wonderful little inlet on the southern side of Sydney Harbour in Australia. It is a special place to visit if you are interested in marine life as it has a rich biodiversity in a shallow safe environment. This very amateur video shows some of the marine life to be found in Parsley Bay as well as a little bit about the natural environ. It is not professional but hopefully it will provide some entertainment and some information.

I made this video, my first ever, on a whim when I decided to go snorkelling in the bay on Boxing Day, 2019. The visit was only about 30 minutes and at about 6 o’clock in the morning, hence why the lighting is a bit dark. I filmed it on a GoPro 5 then edited the footage using iMovie but only had a cheap quality microphone so the voiceover may sound a bit poor. Please do not expect too much but hopefully you will enjoy it.”
