2012 Lifers in pictures

You know that great feeling when you see it for the first time in your life. It is a very special moment. You are just observing the bird in your spotting scope or binoculars and enjoying the beauty of the moment. Suddenly you realize that you can make a photo of it. Sometimes is gone, sometimes it is far away, sometimes you don't have your camera, sometimes it's only your mobile phone. Do not await great photos. All of them are made with my smartphone, they are digiscoped and bad quality, but try to imagine that feeling of your lifer connection...
