few days ago did a year trip I made to Norway, with great friends, to photograph ospreys released, and musk oxen (although these will be the subject of another article when I have time).
Photographing birds of prey in the wild is always a dream for any nature photographer, and not a few birds of prey that have worked in Extremadura, but a journey of over 3,500 kms to try to get a new species, and travel as much less than Norway, which is undoubtedly the most expensive country in Europe and can be considered one of the most expensive in the world (eg a "brewery" costs there between 12 and 15 Euros and nobody thinks that is larger) can be like a real fancy. Anyway, I knew the opportunity to photograph ospreys in Norwegian territory in some degree of success, thanks to information received from some photographers mostly Germans, and for years I turned to the matter, until I finally decided, and took the opportunity and the special price supposed to go with a small group. Well, as I said earlier, not only was a handful, but all were known (and some great friends), but they lacked depth know-that can only be achieved when one lives for a few days intensively. And everyone was pleasantly surprised by the great education that demonstrated at all times, and something I personally value very much, "knowing how to be on the sites." And all showed that they knew, and to spare.
The site chosen was the small town of Flatanger, the typical fishing village located in a Norwegian fjord, in this case more or less half of the country. Once we reached the airport of Trondheim, Mr. Ole Martin Dahle (which would be our guide for a week) picked us up and took us to our accommodation in that town. The property in question is a beautiful house (as houses Nordic) that Ole has built for its clients, with four rooms on the top and up to six people. Below are two bathrooms, kitchen, dining area and a relaxation area with hundreds of books on nature. Let a blast for times of rest any photographer.
Ole Martin Dahle is a great guy (with high I mean that is enormous, but so I tried him as a person not far behind) who for years collaborated on a conservation project ospreys, and then reconverted its activity as a fisherman in the guide for birdwatchers and nature photographers. For three days we went to browse through different fjords discovering incredible scenery, and being amazed by the closeness of the sea eagles, which were close to 25-30 meters to collect the fish that they threw Ole. To make matters worse, for all routes were followed by different species of gulls in large numbers fought over the crumbs of bread which our guide will throw. Even one morning, on our return from the meeting with the ospreys, share hide the five pending a Goshawk that was not presented, but instead came a jay (at least did something.) Although the team had, for almost all of the photos I made during the trip I used a 70-200, and at most one converter 1.4, but I also was useful for landscapes 18-70 and 500 for some ospreys perched, and to hide the said session. Also used it with the musk, but that's another story.
Some may think that this way of photographing wildlife is not entirely genuine, by the fact take a guide who not only knows the perfect place, but also is responsible for providing food for birds. I personally like a laudable activity, worthy to admire and imitate in other places, since it supports the conservation of wild species with their conservation, encourages a kind of quality tourism that provides significant income in rural areas without any intermediaries, and as a whole is a clear example of sustainable development that is so much talk today and so little practice.
In other seasons, Ole offers hides for photographing Grouse, Black Grouse, Golden Eagle, Goshawk, Tawny Lapp, Elk, Beef Musk (discussed another day) ...

Hi all after a summer break. I just returned from a trip to Egypt, although it was not bird type, allowed me to meet new species of birds that had previously only seen in documentaries or guides. Although I created this blog to discuss and illustrate nature, a feeling which can give the act of publishing something about tourist destination as it may seem to be away from my original intention. But I do not think so then explain, but surely I'll finish digress ... my fault.
Certainly, a country of great contrasts, Egypt. If we consider that its surface covers more than one million square kilometers (nearly three times that of Spain) would not be surprised that its population is twice that of our country. But we know that 93% of all Egyptian territory is pure desert (nothing less than the Sahara), and thus all its inhabitants are concentrated in 7% of the remaining land forming the banks and delta Nile, a small strip along the Suez Canal and parts of the Sinai Peninsula. This means that the pressure field is quite impressive and is certain that the fauna (the vast majority deals the same field) are severely affected by human activities. Traffic
important place for migratory birds (like our Strait of Gibraltar), although in this case for moving from Eastern Europe and Western Asia to Africa, Egypt crossed every year millions of birds that have to share space with humans. This is common to see a short distance some species than in Spain or Europe hardly be seen. And besides fauna
How is Egypt and its people?
For this country, the cradle of great civilizations, is now focused on tourism economically. The tourist is the provider of income, either with their visits to ancient temples, the amazing pyramids, the claustrophobic and now empty graves and the impressive museum of Cairo, or with the purchase of souvenirs, an activity that provides direct employment for much of the population. Buildings
unfinished look nearly everywhere, and luxury hotels for tourists in places. Places full of dirt in the cities, and luxurious hotels with swimming pool and yacusi the sands of the desert, crammed with Western food buffets for thousands of visitors and simple meals, frugal and heavily spiced for the millions of natives, a totally chaotic movement in Cairo (the most populous African city, with nearly twenty million inhabitants) ... And above all a suffocating heat, you are trying to mitigate with plenty of water and much air conditioning in buses, on ships, in hotels, ... but be careful, only for tourists ... and for the wealthy (which also exist).
Yes, Egypt now seems to live mainly from tourism, with a population that suffers a considerable degree of social neglect, suffering almost as ancient monuments (those that provide the country 80% of revenues), and still the substantial burden on his back caused by the wars that kept the defense of their Palestinian brothers ... economic burden and moral ballast. What we see when we show the monument to the Unknown Soldier and forum where they celebrate their unique and ephemeral "military victory", the 6th of October 1973. The same podium where he was assassinated Anwar Sadat in 1981. For what fool! Wars always the cause or the charge (from a distance more than reasonable) powerful groups in turn, with the sole intention of earning money and be more powerful even at the expense of innocent lives.
But back to Egypt today. And today is Cairo, is Aswan, Luxor is, is the Suez Canal, but above all, Egypt was, is and will remain the Nile the longest river that runs through the land, and in its passing to the north has made this a completely different country from its neighbors. Huge Nile Venerable; provider; sacred ... mysterious. Today the channel is regulated by the Aswan High Dam, which like all dams pose environmental and ecological barrier, but given the nature of it was necessary to regulate the impressive flood, to ensure something as precious as water its large population and to generate electricity no less necessary.
Egypt has left me a pleasant memory. Not that everything has been quite rewarding, as I was surprised and very upset not being able to take photographs of certain places: inside museums, tombs, temples, pyramids ... man, I can understand not wanting to do photos flash indoors, but that simply can not be made for them ... and then sell this is good both tourism abuse. Also, like most, the burden of street vendors I came to put a bit of nerves at some point, but deep down you think, something will have to live. Regarding the heat: against nature can not go. We, in general, very good memory. I recommend a visit.
suspected that I would go around the bush, and so it proved. But not always going to talk about birds. Greetings.
