Diaries of a nature photographer, around the world in 90 minutes.

Rene writes:

This presentation is all about my trips to a large number of European countries and further afield. A lot of my bird photography is done from hides. The presentation covers how i go about finding the hides, the countries that i have visited and of course images taken from those hides but also some landscapes and more opportunistic images taken away from the hides..
