I cannot call myself a birdwatcher or say that I love birds more than any other living thing. And when I go on trips, I usually look for more landscapes than birds or animals, and at home I am too lazy to go to the forest with a camera... Only sometimes with a quadrocopter, but the birds are not happy with it)
But I will never refuse to take pictures of these beautiful feathered creatures if I see someone in the reach of my lens. And if there is no camera, then just watch them a little, guess from afar who it might be. We met this beautiful southern yellow-billed hornbillin in Africa during a photo safari. Bright, rather large and noticeable bird. And what a beak! I would not want him to peck at me ā well, Iām not a beetle, so I have nothing to fear. It was impossible to pass by indifferently, I had to uncover the camera)
It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
