About Us

We (Jasmine & John) are a pair of birders with a passion for photography, and for John, a bit of PHP/MySql web design programming to top it off.
We live in Malaysia which is where we do most of our birding, but as you can see from this site, we do branch out further afield occassionally.
Besides birds, we also do our best to identify much of what we see, especially mammals.
From a photography perspective, we also do our best to adhere to good ethics, by ensuring we cause as little disturbance to the lives of the subjects we observe.
We don't use flash photography (since 2007), due to two reasons. The first, we don't want to cause unnecessary stress to the birds (although it's not proven to cause stress, we just don't do it), and secondly, the available light with a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM lens, makes the flash obsolete in almost all cases where handheld shots down to 1/40s can still produce crisp well-lit images. The image stabilizer is simply superb.
All photographs of wildlife on this site have been taken in the wild. No captives here.
This site serves as our list and photo repository, of which we are willing to share with you, and hope that you find it useful and occassionally entertaining.
Many thanks for stopping by.
