Bird Interactions in the Kruger Park
Here is a gallery of some of the bird photographs that we, the authors of the Photographer's Guide to the Greater Kruger National Park, have captured on our many visits to the world-famous Kruger National Park.
If you struggle to capture good bird images on your safaris then this eBook is for you! We have been visiting the Kruger Park for more than twenty years and capturing impressive bird images is not easy! Birds tend to be small, are unpredictable and move fast so you do need a long lens and patience! In this eBook we provide all our tips and techniques on our favorite bird hot-spots and how to best photograph them.

"Planning a Kruger trip? A new guide by pro photographers holds the key to good pictures. Learn from the folks who spent 517 days in the park and make your photos sing!" - Romi Boom, Editor of Wildcard Magazine, South Africa  |
The majority of these bird photographs were captured on self-drive safaris, on normal tourist roads, when we were on our vacations, which are anything from a few days over a long weekend, to annual holidays of 14-17 days duration. We also captured some of the images inside the camps and at picnic spots.

"...the majority of images are really impressive, each chosen for a practical reason, sometimes annotated to stress a point. - Craig Rix, Editor,Travel Africa Magazine, UK  |
Most of these images were captured by anticipating some action and then preparing accordingly in terms of shutter speed and composition or simply sitting and waiting.
Trevor Barnett captures amazing bird interactions and he does this by finding a subject in good light, then focusing on the bird, leaving some space around it in case another bird appears and then sitting and waiting. (It's easier to do this with a zoom lens as opposed to a fixed focal length lens).
The waiting requires lots of patience as we have sat with Trevor sometimes for over an hour - with sweat pouring down our faces but not taking our eyes away from the viewfinder.
If you put your camera down or leave it on the window mount, you generally won't have time to get the shot, as the second bird tends to appear very quickly and then the action is over within a second or two!
