Norway like most Scandinavian countries have a long tradition of Hunting and Conservation, They seem to sit well together much more so than in the UK. The carcasses used coming from either Road kills or surplus from Hunting.The Eagles benefit greatly from this supplementary feeding so much so that there is a good population of White-tailed Eagles in the area producing a surplus of chicks which with the help of Ole Martin Dahle are used in the Irish release scheme.Norway is a expensive destination the full cost of the trip taking in a night in a Airport Hotel and spending money was in the region of £2300 with the way the Pound is at present the cost of this holiday will only rise. For me personally it was good value for money as it fulfilled a long held ambition.</blockquote>
