Red kite

With this  cold weather , it was"easy" to photograph birds, mammals, the cold make them more approchable. That is why Scandinavian wildlife photographers have got it so easy...they have the weather "helping" them . We are not so lucky here...

Several red kite came to feed….

It was quite approchable.

This morning a Carrion crow caught a knot in flight and killed it…It was an unbelievable thing to watch….

Frederic

 

The poor knot had no chance, but it`s the law of nature of course.

 

Grabbing the knot by the head to kill it, nasty

Mountain hare

My target species during the quick dash was mountain hare…

When we arrived up there , they were no snow to be found….

Frederic

On the second day , the white stuff finally arrived….

The key is to find a “wally” . That mean finding a hare that is not afraid of human.

We found three!

This picture was taken with a 24 mm lens…the hare is about two metres away…amazing

Then the sun arrived, it was magical

We even had a snow storm

Now that I have found that hares spot I cannot wait to go back….soon….
