The city’s Artistic Photographers Association said the exhibition will display a collection by photographer Ngo Minh Duc, who has spent four years snapping shots of 100 species of bird in Da Nang.

The association said the exhibition depicts the beauty of nature and birds as well as the spirit of freedom and independence.

This is also the first time an individual photo exhibition on bird species has been held in the city, raising awareness on wildlife protection and illegal bird hunting.
