Hey, good-looking: Paul Sawer's awe-inspiring pictures of garden birds and their reflections capture them in breath-taking detailThese extraordinary pictures of humble garden birds and their reflections are the result of months of patience by one British photographer.
Paul Sawer went to great lengths to snap his awe-inspiring pictures which capture the birds in breath-taking detail.
The 39-year-old, who has been photographing British wildlife for 20 years, began his project in January this year.
Two become one: The images are so clear, it is as if there are two birds, rather than oneHe spent days building his own pond with strategically placed branches, rocks and wire, and setting up his camera equipment.
Since then Paul, who works as a butcher, has spent hours waiting for the perfect shot and his patience certainly appears to have paid off.
Perfect balance: Balanced expertly on branches and wire, the Blue Tit and the Robin take a moment before dipping their beaks in the pond to take a drinkHis unusual collection shows a variety of birds from the humble blue tit to the robin in a mesmerising light.
Balanced expertly on branches and wire, the feathered creatures can be seen dipping their beaks in the pond to take a drink or pluck at a floating feather.
On reflection: This Great Tit hovers on a twig using its wings to balance - and dip its beak'I'm very proud of the pictures I've taken, I think they represent my best work so far.
'Some people who have seen them have said the pictures are so clear it's as if two birds are looking at each other.
'I think they are something quite original, I've never seen anything like it before.'
