and has been a wildlife-photographer for about 20 years. He got

in Sweden where he got a degree in biology. He now teaches biology
at a high school located only 10km from the famous bird migration
hotspot Falsterbo. Felix has published his photographs in various
national and international magazines and is just about to publish
a book on raptors and owls. |
