Conservation - Oiseaux migrateurs en méditerranée (27) Images supplémentaires...
David Tipling has travelled to various destinations in the Mediterranean to photograph the threats faced by migrant birds passing through this region, from Cyprus to Malta and Italy, in contravention of EU bird protection laws. David is fascinated by the relationships between people and birds and is working on a magnum opus on the subject, due to be published by Random House in August 2013.
