He has always been passionate about all the various expressions of nature, especially ornithology.
I remember as a most welcome gift the "Guide to the Birds of Europe" by Peterson, Mountfort and Hollom at the end of the 1960s, a text that I still consult today.
I started documenting my releases in 2009, using digiscoping equipment, switching almost immediately to a digital SLR.
During the outings I particularly appreciate being able to approach animals without being noticed and become part of the environment that surrounds me, away from the "noise" of the contemporary world.
