A6 The more you can stay still, the better chance you'll have of getting a good bird photo and a decent sunburn. #PTTravel

A6 #pttravel Know what you’re doing & what you want to see. If you haven’t done a lot of bird watching, maybe find some bird watchers to go out with at first.

White terns sitting in a tree @LordHoweIsland are easier to photograph than in flight #PTTravel A6

A6 Have the courage to get up close…or invest in a decent zoom lens! #pttravel

A6 we had an amazing guide in the Pantanal who could make all the bird calls and the birds would call back. #PTTravel

A6 remember that sometimes you have to choose between seeing the whole picture and taking the picture - you can't do both! #PTTravel

A6: Use burst mode to take photos of flying birds, that way you have plenty of options #PTTravel

A6 if you have left your camera in the hotel when you do a short drive and see a cassowary on the side of the road, no one will believe you #PTTravel

A6 #PTTravel Watch, observe, learn ... these things must take priority over the camera work. Above all, do nothing that would disturb or distress the subject.
