Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

5 White-winged Crossbills were seen feeding in the St-Lazare pinery this afternoon. This is not the easiest bird to photograph, and took me 111 photos to get one somewhat clear.

One of our Downies from the Christmas Bird Count tally today. At only -7C and sunny, the weather couldn't have been better.

Did I ever get lucky today. My first Red Kite sighting, and just about missed getting a photo. The bird is distinguished from the Black Kite by more rufous plumage and a deeply forked tail. Seen flying over Frankfurt Zepplinheim forest which has both an extensive tract of old forest and also open fields..

I had never seen a Roller before, and this bird flew in with a woodpecker like undulating flight. The wing pattern is also striking. See near Muscat, Oman
