That's a great interest to work with! Here are a few ideas:
1. A birding book: Consider getting him a photography book specifically designed for capturing great pictures of birds in their natural habitat.
2. Lens Cleaning Kit: As any bird photographer knows, lenses can get dirty easily. To keep his lens clean and in good condition, bring him a high-quality lens cleaning kit.
3. Birdwatching Binoculars: To take the perfect photograph of a bird, great binoculars are necessary to easily spot them in nature. A good set of binoculars will allow him to see and focus on birds from afar.
4. Bird photography field guide: A bird photography guide will provide essential tips and tricks for capturing great shots of birds in different environments, habitats, and lighting conditions.
5. Photography Course: Consider enrolling him in a bird photography course taught by a renowned photographer. This will provide him with the opportunity to learn more about taking great pictures of birds in a structured environment.
6. A custom camera strap: He'll use his camera quite a bit while taking pictures of birds so getting him a custom-made camera strap with his name or a favorite bird printed on it would be a unique and meaningful gift.
Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
