Birds are fun picture subjects. And those in flight are a challenge for photographers. A lot of variables have to come together including enough light for a fast shutter; a lens and camera that can focus quickly and constantly; and the ability to pan the camera to match the bird's flight path.

Sometimes I get lucky with such shots. Other times I settle for photographs of birds on the ground or in the water. The swan picture in this set is one of my favorites.

    Really liked the pictures but it would have been good to have the actual name of the birds shown. As a fairly new birdo, I try to learn as much as I can!
    Cheers

    I think that all birds are beautiful, even though a few years ago i was chased by a peacock at the zoo. Some people don't like them because of their ability to fly away when getting close, but I can pet them. And I loved the pictures.

    Saw a bird the other day that i thought was out of place cause i dont ever recall seeing a bird of that nature where i live before just wondering if u maybe able to help me identify it.

    Identifying birds can be tricky. Did you get a good photo of the one you saw? If not, I don't think you'll have much luck with identification. The tiniest features often are what distinguish one bird from another.
