Photographing native birds in the UK can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

To help you capture images, such as these shared by members of our Camera Club, it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the common bird species in the UK.

Knowing their habits, habitats, and behaviour will help you anticipate their movements.

Choosing the right location is also key, and you will be spoilt for choice here in North Wales.

Visit bird-rich environments such as nature reserves, parks, and coastal areas where a variety of birds can be found.

You will need to be patient and observant.

Birds can be skittish, so patience is key. Spend time observing their behaviour, and try to predict their movements. Sit quietly and wait for the right moment.
