This is a random selection of photographs of birds that I have taken on my travels. Not necessarily my best shots, but shots that were in some way interesting to me. Some will have been lifers when taken. The photos seen here are first posted on Facebook or Instagram and then periodically uploaded here; the collection is constantly growing, and may not always be up to date. Birds are listed here in alphabetical order, sorted on the scientific name, grouped under Order and then Family. English or Spanish names may vary from region to region. Spanish names are mostly those used in Argentina, where known - otherwise I have followed suggestions in Wikipedia. Numbers at right are my catalogue accession numbers and can be ignored, but do serve as links to the files. Country flags refer to where the photo was taken and are also secondary links. All photographs are watermarked and are copyright to Martin Eayrs. Comments and corrections are always welcome and may be directed here. |
