This week's Young Birder of the Week is Callum Naidoo.
We asked him 6 questions to get to know him better.
Where are you from? Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa
How old are you? 15 years old
How long have you been birding? I’ve been actively birding for about a year, so I’m relatively new to it.
Do you keep a life list? I do keep a life list on the BirdLasser app.
What's your favorite bird/s? One of my favourite species to photograph and in general is definitely the Secretarybird.
What makes birding so awesome? Birding is amazing as for me it combines my passion for photography with the thrill of capturing images of diverse species. Birds provide a challenging yet rewarding opportunity to improve my skills of photography such as patience and unpredictability, as birds are present everywhere you go there are no boundaries to photograph them.
