Since 2008, very early in spring, I traveled my paths in search of all the bird species that will settle in my
ecosystem to nest, and in a routine way, I impose my presence sympathetically by adopting an attitude, a distinctive
ritual to initiat the habit, simply by saluting them with the hand prominently above my head while imitating their
singing so that they understand that I am the "harmless" master of the places and that so, They will not have to
fear me (or attack me) during the nesting.
Because yes, some species of birds become very aggressive during the nesting period such as the blackbird that you
see on this series of photos. These photos were taken with a small CANON POWERSHOT that I held at the end of the arm
at the time when the birds performed their aerobatics flyt above me (sometimes less than 1m) as to demonstrate their
acceptance to my proximity, Without ever attacking me. What's more, as soon as I lower the arm they return on a branch nearby.
