Welcome…

My name is Marios Mantzourogiannis and I always loved nature. Few years ago I got into bird photography and immediately it became my passion; here I share my birding experiences and photos.

I hope that your visit will be enjoyable and maybe inspire you to engage more with the nature and birding.

Thank you for visiting Discovering Birds!

GALLERIES Υou can browse my favorite photos by country, birds in flight or dive and portraits. The “difficult or rare” species I have until now are presented in a separate gallery. The birds of KAUST, the place I am currently living, are also presented in a dedicated gallery.

TAXONOMY Here you can find the full list of birds I have photographed, in taxonomical order and you can browse through the photos of each species. More than 2,500 photos of 784 species in 10 countries are presented and the list grows fast!

BIRDING EXPERIENCES My blog with stories, information, maps and photos from my birding trips. Where applicable, I include contacts of local guides that accompanied me during my walks.
