Although I enjoy watching and photographing all wildlife, birds are my main interest and as a result, I have more shots of birds than of any other subject! You may notice that the pictures below show a bias towards scarce and rare species, i'm currently trying to build up a collection of images of commoner birds so when I take them I will add them on to here and try and re-address the balance! Click on the thumbnails below to view the pictures!
