I am not a professional photographer. I am not an ornitologist nor biologist of any sort. Taking photos of birds is just my new hobby and I don`t promise to shot only birds, preferably birds or all the birds who live here. If you want to see my bird collection and cannot dig archives for it - you can now see it on <A HREF="http://elis-birds.narod.ru/index_en.htm" TARGET=_top>http://elis-birds.narod.ru/index_en.htm</A> . I have to say that this site is slow. Sometimes VERY slow, so you need patience to see it.
Some of photos here was taken by Olympus C-5050 (now it is my daughter Ann`s camera). Now I`m using Olympus C-750 UltraZoom (38-380 mm equivalent in 35mm photography) and Nikon D70 (with AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm and Nikon 80-400 mm f4.5-5.6 D-AF VR lenses).
If I don`t indicate place for photo, usually it means "near my home", which is on the north border of Moscow. If I don`t indicate date, usually it means "yesterday". Or "today". And if I don`t comment your photos, it means "my English isn`t good enough to express my feelings!" :-)
