I photograph any animal with wings, especially if its name begins with a B, primarily Birds, Butterflies, Bumblebees, and Bees, not only looking up but also down at the animal kingdom. I also take pictures of wingless animals, especially of mammals such as in Africa and India as well as of reptiles. In one particular case, I have even included photos of flowers, namely for the Artic nature of Spitsbergen.
This website is organized according to where in the world the pictures are taken. I have a geographic perspective to the global animal kingdom by dividing it into its European, Asian, African, American, and Australian parts. These continents (e.g. the Americas) are further subdivided into countries (e.g. Peru), which are broken down into the different winged and wingless animals (e.g. birds, butterflies, and mammals). The geographic perspective is complemented by a part called Themes. It is a kind of anthology in pictures, where I have assembled short stories under certain themes, for example of the family life of Jabiru storks in the Pantanal, Brazil, or of the skrimishes between neighbours on my Swedish island Aspö, in this case Eurasian Buzzards attacking White-tailed Eagles. More recent additions include the butterflies and bumblebees photographed in Romania in 2018. In a last page, I have compiled photos taken in various parts of the world into field guides on for example the ages of the Steppe Eagle and the White-tailed Eagle. The various plumages of old and young Eurasian Buzzards are compared on separate pages based on photos taken during the all time high record of the 16665 Eurasian buzzards migrating over the Falsterbo peninsula in one day in 2017. Another page is devoted to comparing the vultures of the world, all of which I have seen and photographed (except one).
There are few photos of Swedish animals on this site. The reason is that I only cover those taken outside my home base, the island of Aspö in the archipelago of Karlskrona. The many more photos taken there, I have assembled in another site, viz. http://www.wildlifeaspo.com. Here, I explore the rich wildlife on Aspö, presenting images of mammals such as moose as well as reptiles and amphibians. There are also many birds and butterflies plus small insects like bees, beetles and flies.
