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 colours on this species made all folks take a look, even the non-birdwatchers. Have not seen many as intricate as this one.

Not a great shot, but in our effort to document every bird species, still worthwhile uploading. This ended up being the only of it's type seen on the trip. Masai Mara, Kenya.
