Photographer’s Note: The photographs in this ‘Close to Our Birds’ series aim to capture the intimate expressions of a variety of birds, reflecting their natural flair and attitude. The lively and boundless spirit of birds always have inspired us either by their eye-catching colour, musical tone, or more often than not by their flamboyant diving styles. The images here aspire to host those varied aspects of bird photography – be it capturing their behaviour from far, or closeup portraits with eyes or beaks, or a brilliant flight and action. The photographer believes that capturing our birds up-close is a pursuit of happiness.
