Wildlife / Animals nominee

A hoopoe bringing food to its nest in the early hours of the day. The brightly lit background in combination with the bird being in the shade made for quite an intesting looking scene.

My name’s Jochen Maes. I'm a wildlife photographer and amateur astronomer based in Belgium.

In my spare time, I quite simply enjoy going out and observing/capturing the wonders of the world/universe around us to the best of my abilities.
