A man and young boy stand back-to-back in the bush, each holding a camera with a long lens

Three images of Archer, first as a toddler, then around 6 years of age, finally at 9 years

"I took it all from dad, all from dad. And bird books."
Grey-bearded man wearing a flat cap with a camera resting in his hands and a boy in yellow T-shirt with camera raised

"The simple, 30-minute trip into Naracoorte can sometimes take up to two hours because we explore back roads looking for birds on the way."
Archer Leddy turns to his Dad, Luke, while birding. Dad, partially visible, has a tattoo on his arm. Archer is carrying a camera

"So, I turned the car around, came home and got him, took him out there and he finally got to see it."
A young boy and a man, both with cameras aloft, lean against a fallen tree

"Just the father-son moments, out in the bush, exploring, and seeing him enjoy it. When he sees a new bird he gets super excited."
A smiling boy wearing a green polo shirt in a suburban front yard, his camera strap evident around his neck

Shot from underneath magnificent out-stretched wings, this cream, beige and brown wedge-tailed eagle soars against a blue sky

A black tattoo of an eagle is on the left side of a man's bald head.

"Every time someone sees a bird [at school], they come to me and are like, 'What's that bird Archer? What's that bird? What's that bird?' because they don't know any."

A boy wearing khaki pants, green shirt and a camera around his neck looks up at an unseen bird, with a book open on his knee

"Sometimes in locations on the other side of the world that we can't get to but it's on the wish-list, isn't it [Archer]?"
