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.

A strange sight at Salzburg Airport where a Kestrel that was already being mobbed was joined by a Rough-legged also being mobbed, creating quite a confusing scene for all!

The first Marsh Tit I've been able to properly photograph. They are constantly on the move, but someone had setup a feeder in an abandoned woodlot near Salzburg. It was feeding with Long-tailed Tit, Blue Tit and Great Tit all at the same time.
The Marsh Tit is told from the Willow Tit by small black bib, and glossy cap.

I don't think I've seen a Coot out of water - look at the size of those feet. It was standing on a partially-submerged park bench, as the Main River was overflowing in Frankfurt.
