I came across this article on “How to Photograph Birds” by Nasim Mansurov. A step-by-step guide to bird photography.

Topics such as: Camera equipment, camera settings, locating birds, approaching birds, photographing birds, post-processing and cropping,

This is very well written and one of the best articles I have read concerning this subject.
