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.

After all these years of seeing Ostriches on TV and in books and zoos, it was a strange feeling to see a wild bird on it's own. Masai Mara.

From a distance this looked like an owl, but was then confirmed to be a Brown Snake Eagle. Masai Mara, Kenya.
