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.

As I couldn't take out my long lens at the airport, this was the best I could do without getting arrested. There were hoards of Pacific Swifts at Dhaka airport, all flying under where I was standing into some kind of overhang. I'm surprised the authorities don't mind, considering how close they are to the planes.
