Herman's Falconry and Nature Photos

Hallo / Hello / Servus,

this website is made to show bird of prey, owls and nature photos and to make people more aware of nature. The bird of prey and owl photos are mostly taken in falconries and by hunting with birds of prey. When photos are not taken in nature the institution (falconry, zoo, etc.) name is written as last line of each photo. For these photos permission was given to publish these here (many thanks!).

enjoy your visit, Herman.
