An early morning drive in our neighboorhood at Kvaløya revealed several shots I dreamt about for years, up at 03:45 and out into the soft morning light - YES!

Fugletur med Hurtigruten 2011
6 dagers cruise med MV Nordnorge med god mat og masse fine fugleopplevelser med gjester fra Frankrike, Sveits, England, Danmark, Sverige, USA og Norge. Vi så mer enn 90 arter på turen, og fikk oppleve dverggås på Vallak, Porsanger og havørn på nært hold i Trollfjorden og Raftsundet. 12-14 spillende smålom i lett regn varmet også godt på Prestvannet!
7D, 24/2,8 1 meter avstand!
7D, 24/2,8L Denne ørna fikk først et fiskestykke, men det var for lite! Så den kom tilbake for å hente et større stykke. På bildet ser dere begge fiskene i lufta!

Winter Birds - Vinterfuglene
The light is back after two months long dark season here in the North!
And the birds are more lively and showing colours and even great spring songs in spite of 1.6 meter of snow on flat ground!
Bullfinch Male is a startling gardenbird on the feeder!
Blackbirds are among the rarest visitors!
This young Willow Tit shows a deformed lower mandible.
The Great Tits are tough guys that stays all winter.
Waxwings are the gems of the winterbirds!
A few Fieldfares stay all winter, but most leaves Tromsø!

Make your own Stereo Microphone
I've made use of an old Telinga Disc http://www.telinga.com/, and bought a few components (some parts collected in the tool shed) and created this relatively cheap parabolic Stereo for Phantom 48V
The two Behringer C-2 mics are mounted on a piece of Plexiglas and connected with XLR cables.
The handle itself is collected from an Electric Drill, and a hosepipe 32mm (1 1/4'')with a setscrew (blue)is used for the fixing of the mics.
Take the cables and plugs out of the hole and seal it with foam.
A deadcat or similar like this one from Furrywindscreens is perfect. Go out and make recordings!!
Greenfinch and Bullfinch at 30 meter. Edited in Audacity, +11db and converted from wav to mp3.
