"SPAIN is still one of the wilder places of Europe - its biodiversity conscience!

The beauty and variety of its landscapes from the evergreen estuaries of Galicia, the arid plains of Castille, desert landscapes of Almeria to the mountainous peaks of the Sierras and the coastal wetlands of Donana in Andalucia have provided me with inspiration and ample photographic opportunities.

With such a broad range of habitats Spain's flora and fauna is truly fascinating!

Many images from this exhibtion were taken in Donana - the most important wetland in Spain - with a distinctive habitat suited to a great variety of wildlife, especially birds.

Thus, over 60,ooo acres of the Rio Guadalquivir - the largest roadless area in Western Europe - with its sand dunes, pine woods, marshes and freshwater lagoons form one of the finest wetlands in Europe, now home to a startling variety of migratory birds!

As a wildlife photographer and a member of the RPS NATURE GROUP I feel I have the duty not only to make people aware of Nature's beauty but also to awaken their conscience to the fragility of the Ecosystem." - Diana Elena Antonescu
