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.

In a wildlife scene I've never witnessed, a White-tailed Sea Eagle was competing with Cranes and Crows to capture its prey. It meant for some incredible angles and displays.

These Snow Buntings were almost invisible as they huddled against the side of a barn. They did well in keeping out of the 30-40km/h wind.
