Animals have always interested me from a young age but it was during my five years journey across different countries that I really started to observe them in detail. Birds are the most widespread and therefore more easily observable. Their behavior as well as that of the other animals I have encountered is always fascinating to watch and study. A large part of the wild species, some of which I have observed, are endangered and I think it is our duty to do everything we can to understand and protect them.
