A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!

I am very glad to learn this (my comment was posted before that information)... thanks for the replying; the gallery takes a whole new perspective. Well done. Olivier.

To avoid misunderstanding, all the pictures in this gallery are taken during scientific ringing activity.

Not sure I like the way you hold them. Surely you would respect human subjects who don't want to be photographed ? I believe you should let birds fly away if they want to. Olivier.

This is a really engaging, different gallery. I'm not even very interested in birds, but these are nice photos. And it's very cool to see wild animals up close like this. Well done!
