My best photos from 2023

In this article, I want you to focus on enjoying the photos, rather than wading through lengthy explanations. For those of you who follow most of my posts, you’ll likely find full articles with all the behind-the-scenes details for many of these shots.

Included in these shots are photos of the black butcherbird, where I experimented with the dark key technique, a house sparrow against a colorful seed-filled background, a dotterel stretching a worm, a bee-eater captured mid-flight, and a megapode making a loud call.

That said, I’d love to hear your thoughts—let me know which photo is your favourite!

    Beautiful captures of nature’s pallet. The seagull brought back my native city for me, their cries far and near at the sea side. 😊🙏

      Thanks Dada. Seagulls may not be the most beloved by humans, but they’re still quite unique birds. 🤠

    Beautiful photos as usual Alex. I especially love the underwing flight shots of the bee-eater and wood swallow. It’s very hard to get shots of them in flight let alone at that angle. The Brown Cuckoo Dove with the berry, beautiful spread out tail and the lovely background is probably my favourite.
    Regards Kathy

    I also loved your dark key butcherbird. The technique worked well.
