When I was a kid, I remember my dad having a strong passion for photography, taking hundreds of pictures of everything around him. I acquired this passion from him at a very young age. Since I started taking pictures, I remember being particularly attracted to birds, to the point where bird photography became an obsession. Because of this, I decided to study biology and started learning more and more about these incredible animals. I still remember one of my friends from university, a distinguished ornithologist, once told me I should enjoy the animals and observe them, when I was so eager to just take a picture of them, to capture that moment forever and enjoy it later. It is quite interesting because I still have the same feeling; I am still obsessed with capturing the moment with my camera, but now I understand what my friend meant about enjoying the animals: observing behaviors, patterns, sounds and interactions. There is a myriad of things that you should never miss when going out for wildlife observation.
