Welcome to World Bird Photos

This site is a personal non profit collection of bird photos commenced in 2003. Currently it lists 2645 species consisting of 9,250 images all recorded in the field. Photos taken in 47 countries include: North Africa and South of Sahara, Europe, Indian Sub Continent, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Malaysia, China, Southern and Central America, Galapagos, Mexico, Polynesia, Australasia as well as both the Arctic and Antarctic. I endeavour to photograph all birds spotted in a country irrespective if the same bird has been recorded in another county. Perhaps some similar species may be split in the future with DNA analysis?

Thanks and enjoy the views: Peter

STOP PRESS: Back in South Africa we had limited viewings at Tankwa Nat.Reserve and up the Cape West Coast seeking the Cape Long-billed Lark in vain. In May we tour Islands of the edge of UK so expect new and better views of marine species,
