Death of a moose

It´s a beautiful winter in Norway, cold, snow and a time to take photo-trips around in the snow-covered landscape.

In this condtion with cold weather, snow and short days the Moose are activ early in the morning and in the evening, serching for food. In the early morning and evening it's hard to see them and there have been lots of Moose"killing" this winter.

You know a Moose, more than 400kg, is not a healty meeting for the the car or the animal, sometimes even people are killed.

So if you are driving in Norway this time of the year you need to drive carefully. But it means I have very good bait for my eagles!

But nobody likes this to happen and it's a lot of pain for this beautiful animal. So take care moose, we like you around, but stay away from the road even if it's easier to walk there!!! We have not made it easy for you, animals.

Great start Vetle

New Year and it looks great. I love winter, cold, calm, snow and open fire!! And when you do it with your own children, than it's even better. They still like my company, funny:-) Not always!!! But Troy, the Dog, is also good company.

I think this is the best time of the year for some birds as well. Like the Ptarmigans. There are no Gyr Falcons around, they can make their Iglo under deep snow and it's easy to find what they need. I think this is also a very good time of the year for the Norwegian national bird Dipper. Crazy litle beauty.

In Flatanger we have real winter for 2 weeks now and the forecast say more winter.

It's rock'n roll at the hides and people are doing well. Had 7 from UK this christmas, great people as always.

Take care and all the best for 2010. Keep in touch.
