Bird photography can be very challenging it requires a fair understanding of the mechanics of your camera the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture as well as a strong understanding of the bird you’re trying to capture in frame. Research where to find it, if it’s nocturnal or diurnal even where or what it eats can be extremely useful when searching for something specific. 

There’s so many blogs, websites, articles and “gurus” you can find everywhere on the Internet that covers everything from “bird photography tips” and “the experts’ guide to natural bird photography ” I’ve even seen  “composition of bird photography”, but most that I’ve personally come across don’t share enough detail.

The images on this page have all been taken on a Nikon D3400 equipped with a Tamron 150-600 g2 lense. Widely considered as the entry-level range from Nikon but has quick autofocus and features the APS-C  1.5x crop factor similar to the Nikon D500 (a more common choice) gives the equivalent field of view as a 900mm lens useful when trying to catch small and flighty birds. I also use auto ISO set at a max 6400 but shutter and aperture I set manually depending on the shot.
