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.

The guide advised us to be on the lookout for Eagles - sure enough for a few moments, a Steppe Eagle appeared from behind a cliff. A raven was also in the area, circling lower down but not bothering the eagle.

The largest Nuthatch I've ever seen, but it was difficult to approach it as it worked the rocky face.
