Short eared owl (Asio flammeus), a rare winter visitor. A real treat to see and photograph .
Buzzard landing (Buteo buteo)
I've spotted this bird hovering over a meadow in a late afternoon from July 2008, while driving back home.
Stopped the car, crawled very slowly by the edge of the road and waited. After a few minutes I discovered what the buzzard was so focused on - a field vole.
Trying to anticipate where the raptor would strike I've repositioned myself in order to have the cleanest background and best light angle.
Unfortunately (for the bird) the field vole was quick enough to hide in one of it's burrows.

Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris), scanning the meadow for earthworms.
CuriosityThis is a female redstart looking very curious and inquisitive at it's partner (which was singing from a neighboring tree).
I just loved the setting and the beautiful light filtered through the leaves.
The image was published in Photomagazine (June-July 2008 issue) along with an article about bird photography written by me. For more information please check the "PUBLISHED WORK" section.
VibrationsIt's the same female redstart (as in the first post), but doing something different.
I wanted to capture a bit more than a portrait, so I've tried a different exposure setting.
Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus), a male bringing materials to the nest.
Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio) , this is one of my favorite images. I've take it in June 2008 as the sun was setting over Homorod Valley.
Song thrush (Turdus philomelos)
A juvenile paying close attention to the calls of it's parents.

White Storks matingCreated in April 2008 in a small village from Transylvania.
The weather was awful (thick overcast and steady rainfall), but the moment was magical.
Dipper (Cinclus cinclus)A beautiful and brave little bird.
I've captured the image in a late evening from June 2008, while this dipper was having dinner.
Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis)An unusual place to see green woodpeckers, as they prefer feeding on the ground.
Little Owl (Athene noctua)First light in a beatiful morning from June 2008.
Great tit (Parus major)This image is part of a series published in Photomagazine (December-January 2008-2009 issue). For more information please check the "PUBLISHED WORK" section.
