Valters Videnieks is an avid nineteen-year-old birder from Latvia. Interested in birds from the age of seven, even though his primary interest before that was marine biology, but at the time swimming together with sharks just seemed way too scary:) Valters also has taken up an interest in bird illustration, audio recordings, and since 2023 has obtained a license to conduct bird ringing (banding).
