Kevin Palmer, Neighbourhood watch (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

All these birds were about an hour or so from my home, but our native bird life is disappearing, In each image, the bird is look at us, but more often they are invisible to our eyes. My goal is to create a connection between subject and viewer. If there is a spark of interest created in any individual then there is hope that the person viewing may want to see more. Wildlife becomes less invisible and with encouragement can start to reappear. Then maybe in time our wildlife will look at us differently.
