Common Buzzards

First of all, my best wishes for the new year! What an incredible year we have had. Speaking for myself, I think 2021 was a great year. Apart from the COVID19-madness, it was a very exciting year professionally wise. The downside, though, is that I haven't been able to free up as much time as I wanted to photograph. Something I definitely want to change in 2022!

I have always had a love for birds of prey. Buzzards are a quite common sigh in Belgium, even though I never photographed them. Fortunate, I had the chance to use someone's hide to observe and photograph these majestic birds.

My last session of 2021. A selection of around 850 pictures.

Barn Owls

Photographing a Barn Owl was on my bucket list for some years. Recently, I had the chance to photograph them in the wild. Picture was taken in an half open old barn during night time. There was a constant source of light which the owls got used to over time. It was a privilege to photograph these graceful birds that have left a strong impression. A night to remember! Also because of the fact I forgot my mosquito repellent. ;)

Little Owls

In 2016 I have made a reservation for a photography hide for these little birds.  Unfortunate the day before my reservation, they all had flown away.  Disappointed as I was, I immediately made a new reservation for the beginning of June this year.  

Luck was at my side this time!  For over an hour a we could photograph this Little Owl with her chick.  The most fun and cute birds I have photographed!
