Australian Birds

In 2006 I started to pick up photography. I always enjoy nature, wildlife naturally become the subject of my photography. I enjoy bird photography, as it give me a chance to spend time in nature, far away from the distraction of city life.

This page is a work in progress. My plan is to photograph as many Australian Birds as I could. When the list grow long enough, I will start to think how I could arrange or categorized them. For the time being, it will not be in any particular order.

Leave me a message, if you enjoy my pictures.

I am having trouble setting up this page. Initially want to have thumbnails of the birds that i have photograph, but I am having trouble lining up the thumbnails. For the time being, please visit my Flickr site. Majority of my birding photos are there.

    I say the same as PhotoAnonymous :)

    PS: I find it difficult to see the layout of your page with the center column cutting off the information and images on the right hand side…

    Sorry … I use Explorer7 which might be why. The Bulbul and first Kestrel image are under the third column (snap shows me they are there) along with writing…
