There are so many birds with no pictures - how can I see pictures of those birds? Bird photography is time consuming and expensive - While we do aim to have as many birds as possible, it will take a long time to get many more birds - However, we have linked every Bird to its corresponding page on the Oriental Bird Images website - just click on the "See here" link present after Oriental Bird Images ref: to go to the corresponding bird photos. |
