Athena Georgiou as a child, spent many wonderful times in the Kruger National Park learning to wait silently for animals, birds and even dung beetles to emerge from the long grass and enchant her with a special encounter. Athena learnt the infinite art and gift of patience, exactly the attribute that is needed for bird photography. Athena became a birdwatcher in Australia with our exotic parrots and noisy birds inspiring her to plant a bird-attracting garden in the early 1990s. Then came the purchase of a camera to record them all as they arrived blossoming Athenas love of bird photography in tandem with her garden. Although not a professional, Athena has had the privilege of many of her photos being chosen for calendars both in Australia, Cyprus and South Africa. Having done multiple workshops for Sony cameras and a few of her photos have landed up in Australian Geographic and then also used via Birdlife for various causes, the proudest one being the anti-duck hunting lobby in South Australia. Athena also has an ongoing newsletter or photography blog that showcases both her photos and view of the birding, sometimes insect, sometimes other world. Athena will entertain and enlighten you with her take on the magnificent obsession that is birdwatching and bird photography.
