Did you ever notice that birds have some kind of a confidence that is saying as much as: Well, I see it, I look at it, have my own thoughts about it and do anyway what I want … and off they are.
Maybe its simply because they can fly. There are no boundaries for them; they can look at everything from a distance and disappear into space when they want. Is it that freedom what gives them their confident appearance?
I like photographing birds. They are wonderful, naughty, curious, challenging and beautiful. It’s a great experience when patience is rewarded, they start trusting and spending time with you … and the photo is not an empty branch.
