Pretty little posers, aren’t they? 🐦📸
I never actually set out to become a bird or wildlife photographer. In fact, it was never really part of the plan. It started rather casually just a walk around a park at Bibra Lake, Western Australia, camera in hand, when I began noticing these little characters going about their daily lives.
One bird became another, one photograph became a few more, and somewhere along the way I realised I was spending more time looking up into the trees, watching branches and listening for wings than I ever expected. 😂
From the beautifully coloured Welcome Swallows posing along the railings, to the unmistakable Australian Magpie standing proudly among the trees, and the tiny Silvereye doing what appears to be some sort of upside-down acrobatic routine they certainly weren’t making it difficult to become interested.
There is something incredibly satisfying about photographing birds. They don’t take direction, they don’t wait for you to get your settings right, and they certainly don’t care about your composition. 😅 You wait, observe, anticipate… and hopefully, for a fraction of a second, everything comes together.
What started as something I simply stumbled upon during a walk has slowly grown into something I genuinely enjoy. Wildlife photography has taught me to slow down, pay attention to the smallest details, and appreciate the incredible amount of life happening around us every day.
And apparently… these pretty little posers have officially converted me. 🐦❤️
