Hello,

I’ve added a new article on my website about my recent trip to Greenland. It was a trip to shoot Hornemann’s Arctic Redpolls (March 2017).

Please take a look on my website: http://www.birdshooting.nl/en/blog-en/369-hornemann-s-arctic-redpoll-2017

Thank you Chris, very interesting.

I hope you won't mind if I point out a little peculiarity with that strange language, English -
to us 'shooting' always means 'with a gun', unless you also make it clear you mean photography.

A wonderful report - its rare to have reports focused on just one special species - and that pink-edged bird is a stunner!

Cheers
Mike

Thanks for both reactions!

@Dave, I really appreciate your feedback. I've changed my text a little, hopefully it's correct now ;-)

I always think us Brits are a bit hypocritical when it comes to advising non- English folk regards terminology. I know it wasn't meant as criticism, but it's easy for most Brits who wouldn't have a clue how to use a second language. 'Shooting' is also used as an English term in photography, so I don't even think the minor correction was necessary.

Anyway, just like last year, wonderful shots. Are they all Arctic Redpolls?

Thanks! Yes, all redpolls are Arctic redpolls (except the rostrata)...
