The aim of this blog is to share my enthusiasm for nature, especially birds. I've been a birdwatcher since my childhood. In the beginning I was mostly focused on twitching, trying to see as many different birds as possible. In 2010 I started to regularly paint and draw birds too, inspired by the great Hungarian artist Szabolcs Kokay. In doing so I have found a new way of looking at birds, which makes me appreciate much more every singe observation I make. This blog features reports of my recent birding activities.

December 2011

Last weekend I painted some new pictures, my favourite one of them is this one:
It shows a Black-headed Trogon, the model was a foto I made in 2010 in a place called Laguna de Sontecomapan in Southern Veracruz/Mexico.

Besides, I'm also preparing paintings for the cover of the new Elanus, the yearbook of the Club 300 Austria. Of course, it is still a secret how it will look like, but I can post now the pictures of the cover of the Elanus published this year (for anyone interested, the link to the Elanus website is: http://www.club300.at/elanus)
