Beyond the frame
A bird on the edge of a pond might have arrived seconds before the picture, or after an hour of waiting. The photograph cannot tell us which. A sentence can.
Perhaps you returned to see whether a familiar animal was still there. Perhaps the weather changed the whole afternoon. These are the details that let a reader come with you.
Tell us what you noticed
Start with what happened. Describe the place and the things you saw or heard. There is no need to turn every outing into a lesson.
If someone helped you identify an animal or understand its behaviour, say so. Link to a source when you use information from elsewhere. It is fine to leave a question unanswered.
A home for longer pieces
An article on your profile can hold a report from the field, an interview or a photo essay. A magazine or society can publish under its own profile name.
You can manage a personal profile and a publication from one account. Readers will find each collection of work at its own address.
One last read
Read the piece without looking at the photographs. Then look at the photographs without the text. Check that a reader can tell what happened, when it happened and which picture belongs to which moment.
Check names, dates and links before publishing. Sometimes the final edit is simply taking out a sentence that does not say very much.
