Since graduating with a degree in Landscape Management and Nature Conservation in 2003 I am working as a freelance field ornithologist in various avifaunistic projects. These include breeding bird surveys, offshore seabird surveys, migratory bird counts as well as bird ringing and telemetry.
Being part of ornithological field studies I could perfectly combine my profession with bird photography. The intense study of birdlife with extensive time spent in many different bird habitats offered numerous exciting photo opportunities.
Besides mainly working in Germany and other European countries I was also involved in ornithological projects and photo safaries to Africa, North America, Asia and New Zealand. For these regions I could collect an extensive portfolio consisting of bird, mammal and landscape photography.
My fascination for birds, nature and wildlife I try to present and share with my pictures presented here in BIA.

I hope you enjoy!
