WHEN YOU SEE a bird, do you really see it? I ask because it’s perfectly possible to go through life with an almost complete disregard for birdlife.
I’m not an expert - about either birds (although I’m beginning to hold my own with those who are) or photography. I’ve only recently worked out how to use the manual focus on my Nikon camera, but I do have a strong sense of what I think is beautiful and a passion for birds that has its roots in my childhood.
What I lack in expertise, I make up for in enthusiasm, and here I hope to explain and illustrate how to become a chronicler of the breathtaking beauty to be found on our doorsteps and beyond.
