About byronbackyard

Many thanks for checking out my photos, please feel free to give feedback! My wanderings in nature and observations of birds, particularly raptors, is what gives me great joy and constantly reminds me of the beauty and strength of life. My favourites are raptors, I love their freedom, grace, ruthlessness, pride, adaptability and flexibility and I learn much about parenting, protection and blind faith from them.

    A lovely photo which tells a story. I also like the water and grasses which make a perfect background for the swans.

  • Thanks for all your feedback Jenny, much appreciated. I live in a very special area where there’s ample opportunity for beauty!
