Photographing Garden Birds

The garden is usually the best place to start out in amateur bird photography, but it can also be a great place to take professional photographs too.

The great advantages of taking photographs in your garden include already having a good awareness of the environment, available light, habitats, resources, and obviously you don't have to travel anywhere. As it's your garden, you also have the ability to set the stage by adding bird feeders, pruning back trees to let in light, setting up a hide in your shed and clearing debris or distractions from the background of your photographs.
