Oh well, not to worry.
there again it could be the base you are using on your pc - like chrome ; firefox ; internet explorer - these are all default programs some better than others etc - sometimes you need an updated one to take videos?

OMG gumbud, I know I must sound like a Victorian lady ready to swoon at the thought, but that was horrific! what if it had been a child?
Although you live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, I certainly couldn't! especially as I have a fear of spiders, snakes and suchlike.
The worst thing I have ever seen in my garden was a dormouse running across the lawn, and that was enough to send me running back into the house!.
I would be a quivering wreck living in your neck of the woods.

Noisy Miners.
Birds not Arthur Scargills.
They chase all the other birds away and even the dog.Although she loves it and will bait them if she's bored.
Here they are having a go at a Kookaburra

The kookaburra didn't look too phased by them but he didn't eat from the pan in front of him.....very wise

They eat different foods. A Kookaburra is a type of kingfisher - eats spiders, lizards as well as fish. A Noisy Miner eats nectar, fruit etc. Noisy Miners are quite aggressive they stand up to the invasive Indian Mynah

Given the number of spiders etc., just waiting to strike - why is that man waling about bare foot? We should know these things.

Nephew got bitten by a Funnel Web, when out in the garden barefoot. He must have trodden on it. He was rushed to hospital & luckily recovered, but neither boys went barefoot any more.
