Extraordinary photography - artistry with birds
If you live in Australia you will probably have some appreciation of the birdlife here - budgerigars, parrots, cockatoos and the like.
Today we will meet a photographer and video artist named Leila Jefferies whose focus is on showcasing Australian birds.
She loves to work with them to capture their extraordinary beauty, but also for the connections and benefits to humans that come from interacting with nature.
Her story was told recently on the ABC1 programme Gardening Australia.
You might like to read the article first, but there is a wonderful video at the top of the screen where Leila talks about her work and what she is trying to achieve. The video is 9.12 minutes long, but is really worth watching........
