Penguin enthusiast!Wildlife Photographer based in Europe. Uses Canon R7 + RF 100-400mm, in the past used Sony DSC-WX350.My favorite animal is the Chinstrap Penguin, of course, but I love all penguins. Royals, Erect-cresteds, Macaronis, Gentoos, and Magellanics in particular are some of my other favorites.As an avid birder, I also enjoy other birds. In Europe, where I live, my favorite species include the Common Wood-Pigeon, Rock Pigeon, Stock Dove, Atlantic Puffin, Yellowhammer, Black Redstart, Eurasian Coot, Northern Pintail, Dalmatian Pelican, White Stork, Common Hoopoe, Black Woodpecker, Mistle Thrush, Yellow-billed Chough, White-throated Dipper, Wallcreeper, Bearded Reedling, Corn Bunting, Reed Bunting, Eurasian Bullfinch, European Serin, and Crested Tit.Besides penguins, I really like pigeons and doves. This is probably my second favorite family (and order!) of birds after the penguins. Some of my favorites include the Common Wood-Pigeon, Rock Pigeon, Laurel Pigeon, Bolle's Pigeon, Trocaz Pigeon, Kererū, Parea, Pied Imperial Pigeon, Topknot Pigeon, Crested Pigeon, Orange Dove, Picazuro Pigeon, Ryukyu Green Pigeon, Socorro Dove, and Cloven-feathered Dove.

International Collection
As a photographer and birder based in Europe, it's good to get out of the continent every once in awhile. Every other continent has cooler birdlife, not gonna lie. Here are some photos taken around the world.
European Collection
While I often insult European birds for their apparent drabness, many are actually very cool. Here are some of my best European bird shots.
