Mute Swan – Cygnus olor – knoppsvane

A hungry Mute Swan was swimming in the harbor of Setervika, Osen. It came quite close so I got a nice portrait with my Nikon D700 using Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VRII, hand-held camera.

It seemed confident towards people, and I think it is fed regularly. Nikon D700 using Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VRII, hand-held camera. My contribution to “The BIRD D’pot” - “Wild Bird Wednesday” and also to “MellowYellowMonday” - “Blue Monday” - “Mandarin Orange Monday”

Flekkhyene – Crocuta crocuta

En ung hyene kjøler seg ned i en vannpytt. Gradestokken viste 36 grader. Dette bildet er tatt i Ngoronkrateret, Tanzania. Den tittet opp på oss i det vi passerte med bilen, kun et par meter unna… Mitt bidrag til “MellowYellowMonday”.

Widerøe i farta…

Jeg har prøvd meg på flybilder! Her lander en Widerøe maskin på Skagen.

Denne “melkeruta” er helt nødvendig for å komme seg ut av hovedflyrutene i Norge.  Her letter en av Widerøes Dash-8 maskiner fra Skagen med retning Tromsø. Min tur fra Trondheim og til Skagen tok ca. 2 timer, inkl flybytte i Bodø. Det synes jeg er bra. Men bil må en kjøre ca. 1000km. Tilbaketuren gikk ti min raskere! Takk for turen, Widerøe!

Nikon D700 med Nikons AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VRII og håndholdt kamera. En utfordring å få skarpe bilder når en samtidig følger flyets bevegelser. Mitt bidrag til “Blue Monday”. I tillegg til “Ein Stück Himmel” - “Himmelsk” -  “SkyWatchFriday”.


Superb Starling – Lamprotornis superbus

Flere bilder fra turen til Ngorongoro-krateret i Tanzania. Denne fuglen – “Superb_Starling” - likte seg også godt rundt bilene vi satt i mens vi spiste. Uvanlig å se slike stær…

Den fulgte godt med på det vi gjorde.. Dette blir mitt bidrag “WorldBirdWednesday”.
