"Tense Moments Photographing Shrubs and Their Chicks

hello my friends all! ❤

This afternoon, I decided to go to the cassava plantation with my simple photography equipment with the aim of photographing the shrike birds that I had been after for a long time. After arriving at the location I was very happy because the shrike was still there. It turned out that the shrike bird I was after had quite old chicks.

The first bird I photographed was a male shrike. With its distinctive feathers and agile behavior, it flew here and there, making it quite difficult for me to get a good picture. As I approached, the bird seemed to be watching my every move. I have to be careful not to let it fly away. After a while, I finally managed to take some quite satisfying photos.

Then I saw young shrike birds that were also around the cassava tree. The baby bird seemed calmer, but still alert to my presence. I tried to approach slowly so as not to disturb him. This baby bird gave quite an interesting pose so I was able to get some good pictures.

However, when I tried to take a closer photo, the male shrike looked angry and started flying aggressively around me. This makes the shooting process more challenging. The bird flies here and there, as if trying to protect its young from threats. I felt I had to respect their space so I kept my distance while still trying to get the best photo.

I spent time until sunset in the cassava garden to ensure I got maximum results. The challenges and difficulties in photographing shrike birds actually give you satisfaction when you see the final result.

I hope that friends in the feathered bird lover community will enjoy these photos and experience a little of the challenges I experienced in the shooting process. Hopefully this story can inspire and give encouragement to continue pursuing beautiful moments in the wild.

Enjoy and keep exploring the beauty of nature! 🌿📸

OK hiver friends, those are some pictures that I can show to all my friends. Hopefully these pictures can make you all visible and make beautiful pictures for us to see together. Thank you to all friends who have supported me and encouraged me and see you again in my next post.
