Southern Africa has a couple of interesting canids to see when you are on safari. Besides plenty of Black-backed Jackals, the rare Side-striped Jackal and the funky-looking Bat-Eared Fox…there’s also the Cape Fox (Vulpes Chama). This is our only true fox species, and they are beautiful and great fun to photograph. Later this year I […]

Tero real (South american stilt) Himantopus melanurus
Fotografía obtenida el día 21 de Julio en el Arroyo Mártires, un lindo lugar para fotografiar aves de ambiente acuático en vuelo mientras duren las obras del tratamiento costero, hay que ver que queda una vez que finalice el trabajo en este sector de Posadas. La foto la sacó Willy.

I thought a lot about how to approach these scenes (from the comfort of my office chair) before the trip, but let me tell you – when […]
American Redstart at Central Winds Park
Yesterday at Central Winds I had the opportunity to photograph a female American Redstart. She was in under a dense canopy of trees before it was fully light, so these photographs were taken at 3200 ISO. This just creates a lot of work for me in my computer, but a couple of these I thought […]
Oostvaarders en Lepelaarplassen
Afgelopen zaterdag met een groepje collega fotografen de Oostvaardersplassen in geweest om daar een poging te doen om de bronst van de Edelherten mee te kunnen maken. Aangezien we al bijtijds in het jaar besproken hadden was het dus een gok. Helaas pakte het verkeerd uit want er was nog geen bal te beleven, af […]
