Hi everyone

Thought I would just pop in and introduce myself........my name is Val and I have a great love of wildlife photography - in particular birds.

Want to get more into getting shots of animals and birds in the wild rather than captivity - difficult sometimes but hoping to get some help and advice from you guys on the best places to go.

Hi Val,

As alianar has said, garden birds are easy targets and it doesn't require a lot of work to attract them.
I've got one large feeder which I fill with cheap wild bird seed from the local market.
I also scatter left over bread on the ground and that's as complicated as it gets!
I've always got birds of some kind visiting the garden.
Obviously, moreso during the winter months when there's not much natural food about and again when the nestlings are becoming fledgelings. Watching Starlings feeding young that are larger than themselves is always a laugh although a shot of it has so far eluded me.

Jester.

Hi - new member alert

I am an amature photographer, learning my way around my Nikon D5000. I love wildlife in general and love to photograph all sorts of birds, but love birds of prey. I am lucky to live in the countryside, so I am minutes away from a photography 'challenge'!

Hope to get some good shots and post on here!
