«I took this picture of a wallcreeper on my very first visit to a quarry in the Vaud Jura, but I did have to wait one and a half hours for it! Nevertheless, I was then able to admire and photograph the butterfly-like bird for half an hour before it disappeared.»

«This image was taken at a black grouse lek near Kuusamo in north-eastern Finland. Due to subzero temperatures the night before, the bushes and trees were frost-covered.

«During the migratory season, wading birds can be observed in great numbers at the mouth of the River Jona. This little waders’ paradise is just a few minutes by bike from my house, and I spend many hours there, armed with binoculars and camera. I am especially pleased with this shot of a greenshank focused on its prey, as it was my first time photographing this species.»

«This wintry picture in grey hues was taken by a bathing lake in Dordogne, more or less outside my front door. That morning, the fog was slow to clear. I knew that at the time, several white wagtails were commonly seen on the shore. As I approached, one of them took flight and landed on a post in the middle of the lake. I love how the gently lifting fog gives this image an atmospheric touch!»
