Common cuckoo. Heard them a thousand times, saw only twice. And first time I got to take a pic. Good day #birding at Håkøya, Tromsø yesterday.

Psyched to see today this snow goose (a north-american species) in Tromsø, Northern Norway. #birding

Bar-tailed godwit resting today evening in Tromsø, Norway, on the way further north-east. #birding

Easter Sunday #birding: adult white-tailed eagle, Rakkfjord, Kvaløya. Not uncommon in Troms, but always a highlight.

Today I learned how I am going to loose my hearing. It will be by playing with feedback on E560 Deflector shield

It's been 6 years today since I moved to the Arctic. On Sunday I finally saw Steller's eider - a rare bird in Tromsø. If I saw that, will I see the end of data collection(s), I wonder.

It is snowing.

Always exciting to see a kingfisher. This one: today at the entrance to Port Praski, essentially downtown Warsaw. #birds

Hello, sir! #birds
Red-breasted flycatcher, male. Utsira, Norway.

What are you trying to tell me, Duo!?

Conveniently it was moving, so telling the front from the back was eeeeasy 😉. #birds

Black-winged stilt 📷 Alaçatı wetland in Turkey today.
Great birding at sunrise. These are wetlands, where you don't need a scope! Four new species for my Western palearctic life list: Black-winged tilt, Kentish plover, Zitting cisticola and - last but not least - Flamingo. #birds

Permanent vacation. Senja.

Ferie. Senja.

Sometimes the weeken comes at just the right time. And where I live, 20 minutes drive is all it takes.
