Garden & Forest Birds - One gallery for each bird (updated:2014-10-06)

Of all the birds I photograph, I love these small birds in my backyard the most. They give me pleasure every day, singing from the early morning sunrise until sunset with a variety of voices. Even though the most pictures in this gallery is from my backyard, it's not easy to photograph them. They are very shy, and I have to take all the pictures from a hide or sneak the lens out through an open window. They seldom sit still for a moment, so you really have to be quick to capture them.

Due to the volume of photos in the Gardens & Forest Birds gallery, I have added this alphabetically sorted gallery with a separate gallery for each of the 39 different birds, if you're only interested in specific birds. I have also included a short description of each bird's characteristics.

All your galleries are superb, it goes without saying. I particularly appreciate the garden birds which I photograph in our Provence garden., you do a much more pro job than I do but we feel the same about nature. Peter Clark
