Simone Panepinto, Winter wattles - mating call - eye contact (Animal & Nature 2021)

My passion for birds photography brought me to understand better what is around myself and that everything has a reason to be. The winter wattles feed lot of birds so they don't need to migrate elswhere. Everything turn around mating, in any living being, and birds like the Eastern Spinebill love to call for it at the top of leaves-less brenches. Eye contact, because even if we photographers try to don't disturb their habitat, we are intruders and they need keep an eye on us, always.
