Birds are wonderful creatures, unfortunately my avian (Latin for bird {avis}) identification skills are lacking. If I include a ? or sp? (species unknown) it means I’m not entirely sure of the exact ID.
You want to be careful when photographing nesting birds as you don’t want to scare them away from a potential nesting site, or a site where they have already lain eggs. My photo with the bird nesting in river cane was taken while doing my river cane research, for which I had to sample around the bird so as to not cause it to leave its nest. Beyond that, photographing birds as with all wildlife takes some patience and some good luck.
