Duck!

Well, I am back from Finnmark and have been going though the many images from this great trip. Me and my good friend Helge Helland have been travelling around for a week working with wintering King, and Stellers Eiders on the Varanger peninsula. It seemed we were a little late, but still there were some nice flocks available for photography. This was the first time I've worked with these two amazing birds in Norway, but it was definitely not the last!

We also visited the Kittiwake colony at Ekkerøya and the bird island called Hornøya where we was able to shoot auks (especially Puffins) in snow. I will share some of these images later.

Hope you like the Eiders :-)

Hei Roy

Dette var fantastisk fine fugle bilder. Liker spesielt bilde nr 2. De fine linjene, og anda som titter med undring ned i vannet gjør dette til mitt favoritt bilde:)

Mvh Bjørn-Egil

Wow, så mange stilige bilder du fikk av eiderene..! =)
Den på øverste bilde hadde virkelig spesielle tegninger (eller hva man kaller det). Nydelig fugl!

Likte så godt komposisjonen på bilde nr 3..=)

Likte jo egentlig alle da, men de skilte seg mest ut for meg=)
