Another of my loves, with my camera, is capturing images of our beautiful birds. I am lucky enough to live very close to Woodlands Historic Park which is home to many and varied species of birds.
I’ve selected my favourite 20 bird images taken in 2013, I hope you enjoy them.
My rules for selection were;
– no more than one photo for any one species
– no captive birds, only wild birds
You can click on any image to view it larger in Flickr.
In no particular order.
