About

milvus, short for milvus milvus, is a medium-sized bird of prey of the family the Accipitridae. Around 70% breed in Germany, most of them in eastern germany. It has very good abilities, is a active hunter of open areas but also harasses birds for their food.

Why & What

Searching for birds of prey was one of the aspects which brought me to serious photography.Evolving from that I tried Urban Exploration, Experimental Photography, Landscapes, Wild and Captivate Animals.  Currently I am mostly birding with a mix of landscapes and experimental shots. I love the Nature of Brandenburg and the possibilities which come with it.

As I stared this Blog rather “late”  Ill start with a mix of old and new pictures. It will stabilize to new pictures somewhat to end of the year.
