A new book gives a fascinating glimpse into the lives
of birds.Birds Magic Moments provides an insight into the world of bird
behaviour and the colourful lives of European birds. Photos by renowned
Finnish photographer Markus Varesvuo capture everything from tender
moments to dramatic confrontations. Markus' patient approach, technical
expertise and superb use of lighting have enabled him to capture a
remarkable variety of unusual bird behaviour. In order to capture the
subjects of his new book he ventured to locations both remote and on his
doorstep.
