Anything to object to a day of birding with a telephoto lens mounted on your camera? Certainly not. Photographing these feathered creatures, direct heirs of the dinosaurs, is always a challenge as well as a true privilege. Here you will find images of wild birds in their natural environment, mostly from the Iberian Peninsula and Ecuador, where I lived for two years and was able to intensely enjoy bird photography thanks to the immense biodiversity of Ecuadorian ecosystems.
