Dancing with the Robins - Prologue

Try taking the outdoors photo of birds within 2 to 3 metres or less. Chances are they will fly away even before you can focus the camera on them.

There is a way with Oriental Magpie Robins. Mimic their calls and they become relaxed and calm.

The bird(s) may then stay around for a while, up to 5 minutes or more. Jump between twigs, hop on the ground while cocking its tail, stay put singing a quiet song and preening its plumage. There is always eye contact!

A ball of time to take photos!
