Most of my photos tend to be taken whilst I'm out with my youngest dog - she gets to gallop I get to focus on the birds. I also photograph dogs - many at shows etc. during the summer. I find, with regard to birds the photos fall into to main groups - firstly it's trying to get a shot, any shot, of something unusual or that I have'nt seen around here before, and secondly trying to gradually improve the quality of the pictures I take of birds that are around all the time. That is the great joy of digital. It is so mch easier to get the practice you need when attempting something new. The slight downside is the need to be a bit ruthless with what you keep or the volume of pictures can overwhelm you.
To some degree it's the challenge of actually capturing what you're seeing - if it's not quite as good as you'd like it's a spur to try again. If it was too easy it would'nt be worth doing!
