These creatures are only 1 meter less than the Blue Whale and are in deed impressive animals on short range! http://www.birdlife-troms.no/finnhval_web.mov/view Watch my video from the same area as well and enjoy!

These guys were once quite rear due to hunting, but are slowly returning to Svalbard and can be seen in flocks of 100+

These are very common breeders in Svalbard Archipelago, Arctic Norway

Not an easy photo model. The picture is taken by me :)

This is the most common thrush in N. Norway, it has loads of different dialects in our area.

These thunberghii are really stunning when they arrive here in the north, breeding in wetlands and marshes

These guys are breeding up north in Finnmark County, really stunning bird in summer plumage!

these birds are a real treat close up, coming all the way from Africa up to 70N breeding in our area is really nice. -9C today and understandable why they leave!!

This is a magic moment when the Great snipe is lekking and in the last seconds of its display blows up like a balloon and makes a pit-pit-pit-prrrrrrrr-sounds and then the chest inflates back to normal.

These are rarely found in Northern Norway where this bird were seen lekking.

These are rarely found in the Pine forest in Pasvik Valley, Norway. They breed annually here.

This is an mythical bird from the taiga area in the very NE of Europe, close to the Russian border.

This is among the first with my 40D

Nice Eastern species photographed in Pasvik Valley, Finnmark County (close to the Russian border).

These scavengers hang around all winter hoping to find some edible stuff along the shoreline. This bird is a 2nd year old, just experiencing his/her first winter.

Shot taken in one of the many fjords of the Province of Nord Trondelag in Norway. I was very happy to come out with some decent shots of these very fast moving bird.

The big herring gulls sometimes try to impress the eagles by attacking them, but most of the times they don't have a chance and the eagles just go on with what they are doing and do not give any reaction to it.
