Jumping over water. Brown bear. This is a 1.5-year-old cub that is separated from its mother for the first month because the mother is planning new cubs. We have about 1000 brown bears in Estonian forests, not too difficult to find them.

Last week I had a travel to USA and managed to photograph for three days bald eagles and ospreys in their everyday life. I was really happy to have so much time to spend among them.

Looking back to my visit to Pyrenees in November to meet bearded vulture. It is amazing bird with nearly 3 meter wingspan. I just needed to put this photo after this small owl. Imagine the size difference.

Eurasian pygmy owl is the smallest owl in Europe. They are just about 15 to 18 cm (6 to 7 in) long but as a hunters they can catch prey who is nearly their size. March is the time when it is easier to find them.

In winter, it's not just eagles and hawks, but also kingfishers that make the black and white world more colorful. Kingfisher is like small blue gemstone in the snow.

Northern hawk-owl caught a mouse. With some raptors I have been collecting frames in top of each other. It is so interesting to see how all the details (position of head and wings) in every frame are changing.
