Innumerable species of animals roam Planet Earth, and in our life times if we are lucky we might get to see a small percentage of the countless varieties. Therefore, here are five Instagrammers that capture the beautiful diversity of life on the planet with their lenses. Get a glimpse of their aesthetic feed and marvel at the gorgeous creatures that dictate the skies of Earth.
From rainbow bee-eaters to magnificent peacocks, eastern spinebills to spotted pardalotes Scott Osborne (@scottosbornephotography) presents pictures of unique birds and interesting captions narrating his experience photographing them. Based in Australia, the Gold Coast to be specific, Osborne&rsquos feed showcases his special interest in capturing birds mid-flight. No wonder our favourite shot is an osprey with a freshly caught fish.
Born and raised in the Andamans, Shakti&rsquos (@andaman_boy) Instagram account is immediately eye-catching with pictures of pretty, dainty birds. Trained as a marine biologist and having worked for the Bombay Natural History Society, Shakti is an avid scuba diver and birdwatcher. Just about two years ago, he and a friend set up Tribesmen, an eco-tour agency where one can partake in birdwatching tours and scuba expeditions.
Grey herons, great egrets, phalaropes, flamingos&mdashWayne Tucker&rsquos (@snapp.3r) account is a delight at first sight. A lover of birds and butterflies, Tucker, with his daughter Lauren, runs a birding blog on the latest sightings from the Newton St Loe area near Bath. Not just birds, but his account is very informative about butterflies and the close-up shots are just incredibly pretty.
British Columbia-based William Murdock (@williammurdockphotos) mostly uses a Canon EOS-1D X to photograph birds from Canada. We love his style of centre framing, the way he plays with colour contrasts and his attention to detail. A few animals and butterflies make an appearance here and there, but most notable on his feed are his snaps of majestic owls.
With over twenty years of experience and an aim to conserve wildlife, Jeffrey P. Karnes&rsquos (@jeffreypkarnes_birds) feed is filled with magnificent creatures like the tricolored heron, snowy egret, brown pelican and cedar waxwing. He often shoots a bird taking flight or a side profile capturing the flutter of the wings. His captions weave a narrative and may even dish out facts.
