We would be travelling North and inland to Photograph Wild Moose in the Snow. Then travel to a Wildlife Pak where we would be photographing the Animals, there again in thick Snow. Not the kind of Wildlife photography I like but the rest of the group were keen.The Moose were on a large Farm where they were being fed carrots in front of a Hide we were told they did not mind the farmer but the Least sign of a Stranger and they were off.We travelled to the Hide in a covered in box on the back of the Tractor  it was stopped right at the Hide so as not to disturb the Moose the carrots were put out behind some mounds of Snow this attracted two Moose in, the Moose obviously new we were present they were very wary after ten minutes and a few Nervous moments they were of, that was the last we saw of them. All this was being filmed by Norwegian TV who had heard of these silly British photographers who had travelled to Norway in mid Winter to photograph Moose on a farm. Our first Target at the Wildlife park were Lynx they were housed in a very open and natural enclosure the Gate was opened slightly I squeezed in and found this absolutely  magnificent Lynx a few feet from me, I had not realized how big these cats are, The Snowy setting and the sinking Winter Sun showed these Animals at there very best.I split from the Main group to have a look at the Capercaillie this brought home to me that this was a Zoo they were in a enclosure that was narrow and long covered by a net the birds were I am sure well looked after but very enclosed I decided it was not for me and re-joined the main group. We then photographed the Wolfs who had a very nice and large open enclosure with a walkway above for viewing I managed a few nice shots here.I was glad when our day was over the Lynx were super, But this type of wildlife photography was not for me.</blockquote>
