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: Due to my wife’s medical issues all birding plans since May24 were postponed. During this time I published my book “Tracing My African Routes” see Helion UK. However we have booked birding trips in 2025 as follows: Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia: Sulawesi, Moluccas & Papua, Northwest Passage, West Africa (9 countries) so please visit for a bumper range of exotic birds.
