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.

It was interesting to watch the Surfbirds play with the waves. Just before the next wave approached, they all turned in the same direction.

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.
