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.

I had a lot of difficulty getting some species photographed in Kenya, as the thick underbrush made lighting and focusing difficult. Yet another bird seen only once, this was at Masai Mara.

One of the least common birds we saw. Unfortunately it was far off on the horizon and this was as good a picture I could get of this unmistakable plumage.
