| Szabolcs Kókay started to work for BirdLife Hungary in 1994. Five years later he moved from BirdLife Hungary to the Ministry for the Environment, Authority of Nature Conservation, where he was working on the Washington Convention (CITES) for 2 years. Szabolcs has been birding since the age of 12, but started to make bird and nature illustrations only at the age of 20. During his professional carreer he was given more and more orders for illustrations from National Parks and non-governmental organizations and in 2001 Szabolcs became a freelancer full time illustrator. |
| Being an autodidact Szabolcs owes a lot to his artist friend, Róbert Muray, who is another well known nature-artist in Hungary helping Szabolcs with advices, critiques and consultations. At the beginning Szabolcs was making only black-and-white line drawings then he tried painting and nowadays he is working almost exclusively on paper with acrylic colours. His favourite theme is 'birds in the modern world'. He enjoys illustrating how nature can adapt to the changing environment. Szabolcs considers it a very important topic.

| Lars-Olof Johansson the world famous nature photographer was birding with us. Lars-Olof has received Highly Commended award on "Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2004" competition for an image of a Gentoo penguin family and Highly Commended award on "European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2004" for an image of a Ghost Crab . Lars-Olof attended a conference in Budapest in early May 2006. After the event he spent two half days with us birding in Kiskunság. Though he had only limited time time in the Kiskunság area and the weather was not the best, he took excellent photos of Red-footed Falcons, Great Read Warblers, Corn Buntings, Rollers and White Storks. If you are interested in his other pictures visit Lars-Olof's website. |
| Vadim Davydov a young talented nature photographer spent two days in Kiskunság by birding with us. Vadim is from St Petersburg, so many of the birds were new species for him. During this trip he was using Canon EOS 30D camera with Canon EF 300 f/4 IS USM lens with Canon 1,4 extender attached to the lens. So the shots you see in this gallery were made with this equipment. During the trip some 60 species were were seen of which 18 birds are shown in the gallery. You can read more on his trip here. If you are interested in his other pictures visit Vadim's website. |
