      Small birds are definitely the hardest to get pictures of! I love photography and really enjoy taking photos of wild animals. I’ve always found that small birds are the toughest to photograph as they’re so quick and always moving – they rarely stay still. For example, I study some birds called sunbirds (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive-backed_sunbird), which are always flying from flower to flower, busily eating nectar. They are really beautiful birds but as they rarely stay still, they’re so hard to photograph. If you like photography and a good challenge, try photographing the small birds in your back garden or local park.
