Hennie de Klerk (Author) Hennie de Klerk trained, then worked, as a metallurgist for all of his professional life but for the past 45 years has spent his spare time in the field ringing birds and studying and photographing plants and animals, especially birds and insects. This has turned to a full-time occupation since retiring a few years ago. He also regularly gives talks to various natural history-interest groups on the lives of birds and insects, and presents courses on macro-photography; all of these are illustrated with many of his magnificent photos such as the ones presented in this book. He is officially affiliated to the University of Pretoria, as a research associate.
