A great cormorant flies over a brave sea off the west coast of Asturias in northern Spain, making me reflect on how lucky it is to be free and to fly with strength and determination in the most difficult conditions.
We are lucky that is possible to see this species regularly on our coast, But every year some of these cormorants die because of the fishing nets and hooks.

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.
