 1. If it Walks Like a Goose And it Talks Like a Goose…. As soon as this Army of Cuteness arrives, the most fanatical birder goes “awwwwwwww”. Bold loitering spontaneously share their sandwiches, a homeless worriedly counts whether they are as many as yesterday.   2. Interview by Bored Panda […]

Yawning Tree frog
I bet most fellow nature photographers assumed – just like I did- tree frogs to be hugely enterprising, energetic and cheerful creatures. Skilfully hopping from blackberry to blackberry, climbing in trees like professional circus artists, swinging on stalks, as if they were climbing frames and sliding along thick blades like […]

Nature works in mysterious ways. Not so long ago, I assumed there were just two options: 1. Eaten or 2. Being eaten Predator or prey…that’s the question. Recently I found out that it can be mutual as well. You eat, while being eaten: fair cross. All right, I might exaggerate […]

I love to photograph in my own neighbourhood. Just biking around,the wind in my hair and my bag on my carrier. No train-delay,caused by so called square wheels, cows on the rails or similar excuses. Unfortunately exciting nature is sparse around here. But with a little fantasy and lots of […]

Frogs are programmed quite simplistically: as soon as there’s any potential danger: dive! Logical enough, but a bit sad for the photographer the happy party ends as soon as (s)he enters… The enthusiastic quacking abruptly dies and the ditch looks as if there have never been any frogs and never […]

Thinking about nature photography you probably picture fresh green meadows, meandering rivers, foggy forests or something like that. At least I did. So when I recently cycled to a deserted piece of land along the highway, my romantic image instantly got killed. This unsightly terrain was supposed to house a […]

And an even bluer one... 4
On one of the last winter days some colleague photographers and I plotted our new challenge: finding Blue Frogs. The rumour goes that for just a few days a year the male Moor frog dresses completely blue in order to seduce them frog ladies. So it’s just a matter of […]

Bohemian Waxwing Bombycilla garrulus Pestvogel 1
In Dutch Waxwings are called Pestvogels, which means something like ‘Nagging Birds’. I often wondered why they got this strange name. Well…I found out the hard way! Waxwing invade my country every now and then. They appear in large numbers and -being just a little shy- they make a great […]

It doesn’t happen that often in life that you get a second chance when you blew your first. And in this case it wasn’t even me who blew it, but the bad weather that did it for me… But…to put it shortly: I got my second chance to photograph the […]

Past week I met this very friendly person in the train. We had a pleasant conversation and it appeared he stumbled upon some waxwings that day. I must admit I was a little jealous since i had never seen these beautiful birds in my life. The next morning I planned […]
