Wildlife photography was my first great love at the time and it remains something I still enjoy doing in between.
In the Netherlands, the white-tailed eagle has been breeding for several years in the Oostvaardersplassen and the Biesbosch. However, if you want to see them in large numbers and photograph them at quite close range, Poland is the country of choice.
The photo was taken during a photo trip I organised, from a boat and at a reasonable distance. So long lenses remain necessary.
The photo nicely shows the size of the bird and that during what it prefers, fishing.
It was a trip with obstacles that twice failed because of Covid, but still the bird remained high on my wish list.
The special thing about this region of Poland is that it is pristine and it seems exactly as if all the wildlife is a lot less scared because they are not allowed to be hunted there and they know exactly that.
I am a professional nature photographer (landscape, wildlife, macro) and give workshops and organise and accompany photo trips at home and abroad. Photography is my passion which I try to share with as many people as possible.
