Gumer "ho...thanks everyone for your comments. Gumer "how do you see so many birds" you asked. Became interested to try photographing birds about two years ago. The more you get out and search for them, the more you 'get lucky' and see them. Exploring new locations is always a treat in search for 'new birds' you mightn't get to see near to home base. I'm finding that the more I get out and listen to them, the more familiar I become with their calls too making it easier to locate a bird and know its ID when photographing (if I can get that wonderful opportunity). It can be a little daunting, they have a mind of their own and won't often stay where you want them to :) but it's a big buzz if it works.Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-72584552169446906432013-10-27T03:07:50.261+11:002013-10-27T03:07:50.261+11:00You have make beautiful photos, Carole!
