📷 A - Z Bird Photography Alongside The River

Animal Sunday Photography My Contibution @homeartpictures

Down by the river bird photography on the Amanzimtoti and Illovo Rivers in KwaZulu-Natal. Visiting these two rivers regularly some photography shares from the past 3 years. Some photography has been resized to try bring the picture in closer, photo's are sometimes taken clean across the river.

All photography is my own (please ask permission before you use any of my photography) Photography taken with either Canon PowerShot A530 or Canon EOS 500D
