Welcome to World Bird Photos
For optimising the power of this site, I recommend you first view the menu (top right) of three small horizontal lines. The HELP assists navigating.
Thus far 64 countries are represented, some by region of the birds I have seen. Alternatively, select a specie to see all the birds of type that I have photographed. There is also a Topic menu of selected birds. Birds total 11,000+ images. Thanks and enjoy the views: Peter
STOP PRESS: During August 2026. we travelled up the Mekong river in Vietnam that was bereft of birds except a sanctuary had a limited range. In October we travel to Colombia where birding will be surely be amazing
