Here are some of my photographs of the local wildlife. I am using a Canon EOS 1200D attached to my Takahashi Sky 90 to get these close up images. This is a new project since the start of 2016. I intend to replace some of the lower resolution images with higher resolution ones once I have acquired the images of these birds.
