HUNGARIAN EXTRAS


Sparrow hawk / spurvehauk
D4, 200-400 4,0, f/5,6, 1/250, ISO 1800

I have never been this close to a sparrow hawk before, just 2 meters away. The light was trickling through holes in the leafy "forest roof" and a soft cone of golden summer light hit the head of the male sparrow hawk.   Magic moment !!!

This is the second (and last) post of shots from Hungary in May / June this year.
Hope you like `em !!!!

HUNGRY HUNGARIAN HERONS


Eurasian spoonbill / skjestork
D4, 600 0, f/4,0, 1/800, ISO 1800

Are anybody following blogs anymore ? I don`t really know why I keep doing this, but here comes : Hungry Hungarian Herons …. storks ! 
Pictures al shot in Kiskunsagi NP, Hungary in late May. 

Thanks to Bence Mate & Natur&Foto Magazine.

I dag skulle jeg altså i teatret ….. i TEATRET !!!! … stedet som alle som har vært der omtaler med henført andektig respekt. Stykket som er oppsatt denne dagen en en lokal oppsetning og heter "Hungry Hungarian Herons". Fasilitetene som den unge naturfotografen Bence Mate har bygget opp i våtmarkene i Kiskunsagi NP … med enkle midler og UTEN lån i banken … er rett og slett spektakulære !! "Teatret" er navnet på et av Bence`s skjul ute i sumpen der man ankommer i en trang underjordisk (undersjøisk !) kulvert og dukker opp bak enveisglass midt ute i våtmarkseventyret. Bence`s løsninger er gjennomtenkte og gjennomprøvde og opplevelsen er unik. 

Faren er selvsagt at man kommer hjem med "bilder som er tatt før", men er man heldig og fokusert (!) kan likevel få enestående opptak.

…. og for ordens skyld : hegrene er like sky her som hjemme !

Stay tuned, I got more Hungarian stuff coming up.
