Fields around Seville are full of 2 things: Corn Buntings and Marian Thistle, I love the shape of both so I really wanted to get a sillouethe against the setting sun, although it proved much more difficult than expected (mainly due to shorts and 2 meter tall thistle meadow is not the best combination) but this image seems worth it after all, as I loved how the flowers looked out of focus and I managed to place the bird in the exactly right spot with no interference.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
