• Allow the birds to come
• Get there early and remain until late
• Choose background

Identify isolate your subject

• Birds are commonly found in settings that can be
  cluttered. There may be grasses and branches that
  intersect at different angles distracting your
  main subject. There may also be other birds that
  can distract your eye. However, one thing that
  you will need to bear in mind is that the
  habitats elements, as well as the whole
  landscape, can be part of the artistry or message
  of the entire image and it may be necessary to
  include these to some extent. The most important
  thing is to ensure that you include what is key
  to a compelling or beautiful image.

Have an original image

• There are many people who take some inspiring
  images. A good idea would be to replicate these
  images. However, this can end up wasting a lot of
  your time and isnt productive in most cases
  since the images power is partly due to the
  originality. A good idea would be to aim from
  different angles.

5
Consider behavior

• Birds will scamper, fly, fight, swim and even
  dive. At times, they will do it constantly and at
  times they will do it at the same time. Ensure
  that you have an idea of how you want your best
  image to look, watching the birds behavior and
  having an idea of what the bird is likely to do.
  This can help you to maximize on the potential
  quality of the image.

6
Allow the birds to come

• At times, you can get tempted to chase the birds
  as many of them are usually timid, moving away
  from us. This will result in images of birds that
  turn or even runway or even at the worst have
  their backs towards the camera. When you study
  the habitat and camera early enough, it is easy
  to figure out where the bird is likely to walk,
  land or even fly. This way, you can set yourself
  there to ensure that you have an image that is
  more intimate and compelling.

7
Get there early and remain until late

• A good idea would be to go out early and ensure
  that you remain there early until the fading of
  the light. This will ensure that you have photos
  that are much better. The color usually looks the
  best during the magical light of sunlight or even
  before sunset. The shadows are usually further
  form the subjects and the birds are usually more
  active.

8
Choose background

• A common mistake that many photographers face is
  to take photos from a position that is quite
  comfortable, when standing and our backs facing
  the sun. This makes it difficult for us to get
  the best shot. However, when you change the angle
  that you shoot from, it is possible to change the
  background in a dramatic way.
