My 2025 photo calendar is dedicated to the birdlife of the Iberian Peninsula. The images were captured during a multi-week road trip from Germany through France to Spain and Portugal. The calendar highlights iconic bird species of southern Europe, such as the Greater Flamingo, Griffon Vulture, Spotless Starling, and Sardinian Warbler. A cover page, a foreword, and a back page with an overview of all calendar sheets frame the monthly pages. The layout was designed by my friend, photographer and graphic designer Jenny Otto.
In a converted VW van, I travelled across the Iberian Peninsula for several weeks in 2024 with my partner Lu and our dog Lotta. At the very top of our bucket list were, of course, several birding hotspots. Thanks to the flexibility of van life, I was able to spend as much time as I wanted at each location. I often spent sunrises and sunsets at the best spots for birdwatching and photography. This allowed me to capture a handful of intimate shots of the iconic bird species of the Iberian Peninsula.
Calendar data
My heartfelt thanks go to Jenny Otto, who has been designing the layout for my annual bird calendars since 2022. Our collaborative calendar project is non-profit, as we sell the calendars at production cost, mainly to family and friends.
The calendar features a ring binding, measures 30x45 cm (portrait format), and is printed by a Berlin-based printing company on very thick, high-quality paper (300 g/m²). If you’re interested in a calendar, I’d be happy to provide more information. You can get in touch via the contact form on this website.
