The group of photographers, including four members: Vo Rin, Nguyen Hong Huy, Ha Vu Linh, and Nguyen Thùy Linh, have been to Bach Ma many times from 2019 to 2021 to experience nature and take photos of birds and animals in the park.
Ha Vu Linh (28 years old) said that on the trip earlier this year, he was deeply impressed by the red color of maple leaves in an ancient French villa and the pink color of the rhododendron at the foot of Do Quyen waterfall.
The group of photographers mainly hide on the top of Bach Ma, walking through the trails to take photos of the birds. The birds mostly gather by the stream looking for food. Birds are often more active in the early morning and late afternoon.
