Garden & Forest Birds (updated:2008-10-22)

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. New updates are placed in the end of the gallery.

Due to the volume of photos in this chronological gallery, I have added an 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.

Great Gallery!! I agree with your statement... unless you photograph birds you have no idea how hard it actually is, very well done here. Swallow flight shots? wow!!
