Welcome to World Bird Photos

This site is a personal non profit collection of bird photos commenced in 2003. Currently it lists 2645 species consisting of 9,250 images all recorded in the field. Photos taken in 47 countries include: North Africa and South of Sahara, Europe, Indian Sub Continent, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Malaysia, China, Southern and Central America, Galapagos, Mexico, Polynesia, Australasia as well as both the Arctic and Antarctic. I endeavour to photograph all birds spotted in a country irrespective if the same bird has been recorded in another county. Perhaps some similar species may be split in the future with DNA analysis?

Thanks and enjoy the views: Peter

STOP PRESS: During October 2023 we cruised the Nile of Egypt mostly photographing from our vessel. It was challenging as birds were at some distance. I did not expect many species but in total 33 were spotted.
