A Mesmerizing Songbird Adorned with Its Vibrant Blue Throat and Bright Orange Band, Set Against Earthy Plumage – Bluethroat

Ruurd Jelle van der Leij a Dutch Ecologist, Filmmaker and Photographer. He has been creating an ongoing photography project titled Frontals for the past ten years. The project features photos of birds taken from the front, and they’re absolutely hilarious.

In his words “I realized from the start that they made the birds look completely different. From that moment on, I decided to focus on it and make sure I would have at least one frontal in each series. Some birds start to look like angry birds, some funny or even ridiculous.”
