Birds of a Feather<br />
One of the subjects that occurs in almost every place<br />
we visit is the birds. There are laws in place that<br />
every photographer must abide by, the main one<br />
being not to photograph birds on the nest.<br />
In many countries this requires a special licence.<br />
The reason is to protect the nest from disturbance.<br />
Some nests you can see clearly from a distance<br />
where the intrusion is not a problem for the birds, so<br />
there is not a problem.<br />

Moorhen by Gordon Longmead<br />
The Moorhen, usually found near rivers, is the latest<br />
visitor to my back yard, and I am a long way from<br />
the river.<br />
Dunnock by Gordon Longmead<br />
The fact is that to take pictures of birds you do not<br />
even need to leave your own garden, in the last two<br />
years 43 varieties of bird have visited my own<br />
garden.<br />
If you live in a place with no garden, how about a<br />
friends garden or local park. Birds are everywhere<br />
so there is no excuse for not practicing or taking that<br />
perfect picture.<br />
