Birds

Brief

**Open to photographers with a gold or silver ranking. There are two other 'Birds' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/leaderboard/">leaderboard</a> for more information on Photocrowd rankings.** Photographing birds isn’t just about picking up your camera and pointing it in the right direction. Some awareness of the nature of birds and how to find them without scaring them off is also an important factor. For animals that live so much of their lives in the air, getting (and keeping) birds in shot can sometimes be a challenge! Patience is key.
