Photos from recent birding trips

Nature never fails to fascinate. For me each birding trip is a new discovery, even when meeting the species I have had the opportunity and was lucky to come face-to-face with before. Each birding trip is truly worth waiting for. Here are some recent photos for sharing. Enjoy!
