About the author of Birds-online.ch
Name: Michael Gerber
Resicence: Volketswil (Zurich, Switzerland)
Born in: 1985
I'm a biologist (MSc in Ecology and Evolution) working as project leader education for BirdLife Switzerland.
I've been interested in birds, and nature in general, since childhood. When I was 14, I started to get serious about photography, and due to my existent interests, I soon concentrated on bird and wildlife photography.
Later on, I got into travelling, and now I often visit other countries to explore and document the local nature and wildlife.
