About

Welcome to Flighty Lens!

I’m Rosie, a professional photographer who’s been completely sucked into the wild world of birdwatching. And let me tell you, even with years of photography experience, these birds have me doubting my skills more than I ever thought possible. They lure us in with their beautiful calls and flashy colors, then confuse the hell outta us. With their look-alike feathers and sneaky songs, it’s like they’re playing a practical joke, right?

Through my photography and birdwatching blog posts, I aim to share the confounding magic of birdwatching—the serene moments, the thrilling finds, and the inevitable confusion when you think you’ve spotted something rare, only to realize it’s just that same Red-Winged Blackbird again. Or worse, when you swear you’ve discovered a new species, but nope… it’s just a leaf on a tree.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder, a photographer, a nature lover, or just starting to wonder why all sparrows look the same, this space is for you. Flighty Lens is about finding joy in the challenge, capturing the unexpected, and connecting with a community of bird lovers who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves—or the birds.
