Bird photography requires a combination of patience, skill, and an intimate understanding of both photography and the birds themselves. Birds are often skittish, elusive, and quick—qualities that make them both a challenge and a joy to photograph. Whether it’s the vivid plumage of a kingfisher, the elegant flight of an eagle, or the intricate patterns of a sparrow, each shot requires me to be ready at a moment’s notice. I have to anticipate their movements, understand their behavior, and sometimes wait for hours to capture that perfect shot.
