Being a wildlife photographer in the Charente can be difficult at times but the rewards can be very good if you can find places to go that it.

620A6124 My morning walks with my dog (Molly the Collie) usually produce something to photograph mammals, birds or insects.

620A6119 It all depends on the camera setup I take with me. Canon 100-400mm lens and 5dmk 4 or with a 7dmk2. My macro setup is a Canon 100mm 2.8 lens on a Canon m6mk2.
