Blog

I am suffering from an infleunza virus, that’s why I couldn’t comply with my weekly schedule for this blog.

Like all nature photographers I regularly have to rely on the expertise of ecologists and researchers to get the shots I want. This was also the case when I wanted to visit the wintering roosts of Pond bat Myotis dasycneme. Pond bat is a species listed in the Natura 2000 annex. Its range expands in a rather small band from Western europe into Russia, with the Netherlands having the largest population. One of my colleagues was so kind to take me on one of his annual censuses in a coastal bunker complex of the Atlantic Wall. Here he is searching for bats behind a double wall inside one of the bunkers.

Cheers,
