It’s an obvious tip, but it works. If you are having trouble getting close enough to little birds, try taking photos of big birds, like pelicans, frigatebirds and egrets. You can take photographs from five times as far when you’re photographing a bird that’s five times as big as another bird. This is probably one of the reasons why there are so many photos of iguanas on St. Martin even though most of the other lizards on the island are much more interesting in many ways.
