Since 2007,Ray Hennessyhas been honing his wildlife photography and, in particular, his passion for birds.

This has allowed him to take images from a unique perspective and photograph the birds undisturbed.

This group of birds flew around me for nearly an hour and I took thousands of photos of them.

At times they were flying so close to me I could hear their bills slicing through the water!

Wildlife photographer Ray Hennessy created a floating bird hide three years ago.

This allows him to go incognito in the water when photographing birds.

The result is incredible bird photography of these animals going about their daily routines.
