Some South African Birds
A selection of South African bird photographs from over the years…
Some birders take photographs, and some photographers specialise in photographing birds. I am neither a skilled birder nor a specialised bird photographer, but over the years and across many different places and spaces I have accumulated a good many bird images, and this portfolio represents I think the best of them, or at least the most interesting - selected, as a photographer selects, with no pretence at representivity, but simply for their quality as images.
