  1. Juvenile black grouse

    Juvenile black grouse

    While walking through a relatively quieter part of Bymarka, suddenly 4-5 grouses started flying at every direction (one adult and several chicks). They were very well camouflaged, which was apparent as I was trying to photograph this one which was sitting on a nearby tree and another 3 or 4...

    Patrick - the grouse

    Finally a perfect sunny weekend in Trondheim and everyone's out to the lakes, beaches or the mountains. We saw this male hazel grouse crossing a path in the forest and stopped to take photos. But the grouse kept circling us and came a little bit closer every time. After 15 minutes or so, we...

    Oystercatchers are one of the first birds to be seen on the shores at the beginning of spring migration at Trondheim, Norway. Doc Duck and I went to look for them on Sunday, no luck.
