A bird shooting lens, or bird watching lens, is a lens specially used for wildlife photography. Long focal length and large aperture are its important features. As the name suggests, bird shooting lenses are mainly used to shoot long-distance animals, especially birds in flight, and can capture the details and movements of birds flying in the air.

2.Photographing animals from a distance
Wild birds or other animals usually appear at a long distance, and the long focal length of the bird-shooting lens allows the photographer to obtain clear lens effects from a distance, allowing the photographer to capture the details of wild animals while maintaining a safe distance. This is especially important for photographing wild animals that are easily disturbed.
3.Achieve background blur effect
Since the bird-shooting lens has a large aperture, it can create a strong background blur effect when photographing animals, highlighting the main animal, making the photo more focused, vivid, and artistic.

Bird-shooting lenses can achieve local magnification and can magnify the details of birds, such as feathers, eyes and claws, making the photographic works more vivid and artistic, while also allowing the audience to better understand the living habits of animals.
5.Record bird behavior and ecological environment
By shooting bird behaviors such as foraging, nesting, and reproduction, we can show the natural ecology of wild animals and give viewers more opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of nature.
