Bird-Photo-Tours ASIA is the specialists in bird photography tours with a portfolio across 40 countries throughout the continents of both Asia and Oceania.
I have travelled extensively throughout Asia photographing birds over the past 15-years but today’s experience here in Papua New Guinea of a male Blue Bird-of-Paradise displaying by hanging upside-down may rank as the most extraordinary encounter of them all [#BirdsSeenIn2025].
This White-throated Dipper remained in this pose for some time here in Kazakhstan, possibly in deep thought, possibly daydreaming, who knows, but seemingly content [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
Mongolian Finch: the profile image highlights the bird's long primary projection, pale-tipped black flight feathers and flash of pink in the wing, whilst the head-on inset displays the pale breast with a subtle hint of pink [bird-photo-tours.com].
This male Godlewski’s Bunting in full breeding plumage made a welcome appearance here in Mongolia showing well his distinctive cinnamon, grey, black and white head pattern [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
The Barred Warbler, photographed here in Mongolia, is one of the largest Sylvia warblers and alongside its long tail, robust body, heavy bill, powerful legs and striking yellow eye it can appear even larger in the flesh [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
The photographic trip report for our recent Mongolia Bird-Photo-Tour is published also featuring this image of a male Black-billed Capercaillie in full breeding attire: bird-photo-tours.com/report/…
A fine view of a Sulphur-bellied Warbler showing well its elongated yellow supercilium that extends well behind the eye. The favourable Mongolian light highlights the understated beauty and delicate colours of this species [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
The light is so good during the summer here on the Mongolian Steppe that using a 2x converter on the Canon RF 600mm f/4 fixed lens regularly produces satisfactory results with today’s willing subject being this White-crowned Penduline Tit [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
The Oriental Plover undertakes an annual round-trip migration of around 25,000km from Australia to here on the Mongolian Steppe where this image was taken today of a male on his breeding grounds [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
Female Pallas’s Sandgrouse filmed today here in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert showing well the black spotting on the sides of her neck, a useful field-mark for sexing this species [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].
