• Story of the image

  A small saline lake on the outskirts of the village (Dedoplistskaro, Georgia) delighted me with an abundance of waders. All these birds were happy to feast on the flies that had emerged en masse in the few days before days, creating a living carpet on the water's surface in some places.

  I have been passionate about wildlife photography for about eight years. Most of my photographs were taken in my native Belarus, but recently I moved and am now looking for new places to shoot in other countries. I enjoy both "stalking" photography and sitting in a hide, observing wildlife without interfering with their world with my presence.
