‘Hi, my name is Patrick Palmen (1970). I’ve been watching birds, mammals and other animals since I was a teenager. I grew up in a beautiful environment with lots of nature and wildlife nearby.
When I was fourteen, I joined the Dutch Bird Protection Society (partner of BirdLife International) and used to go out as much as possible nearby to watch birds with my binoculars.

In 1995, birdphotography came into my life and became a great passion of mine. Some of you will remember the famous Novoflex 600mm f/8 met Pigriff B (Pistol grip) where I started with.

In the following years I have been using photo hides and camo gear from Buteo Photo Gear and Stealth Gear many many times and I’ve gained a lot of experience with hide photography.

Nowadays, I photograph mainly in my immediate surroundings, with a focus mostly on birds, mammals, insects, reptiles & amphibians. Of course not always from a hide, but sometimes it seems pretty much photohides are my second home.
