Ten tips for photographing birds:

  • 1. Most important: respect ethic code about bird observation (birding ethics).
  • 2. Best times for taking pictures: early morning or late afternoon.
         Try don't take pictures facing the Sun
  • 3. Use a telephoto lens of at least 300mm
  • 4. Use a stable tripod
  • 5. To find the best sites: look on the net (links on left-hand toolbar) or
         contact a bird watching club
  • 6. Be discreet: wear camouflage, stay hidden, remain silent and respect the birds
  • 7. Bring binoculars to find birds more easily
  • 8. Bring a bird guide book to identify birds you see
  • 9. Listen (learn to recognize the different songs)
  • 10. Be very patient...
