My favorite eagle landed today...........

New tree hide

New plans for the summer!

My intentions are to have my third tree hide ready this autumn. I have found a suitable place for it up in some pine trees. From this hide it will be possible to take pictures with wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses.

This picture was taken from my second tree hide. I used a 16-35 wide-angle leans and a flash assembled about 30 cm under the camera. I put out some meat on the roof of the hide. Than I just had to wait and pull the trigger of the camera when the eagle jumped out.

I have retouched from the picture some smaller snow flakes falling from the roof when the eagle jumped.

Mating Golden eagles

Last week I was lucky enough to get photos of mating Golden eagles

in the north of Sweden.

Kungsörn & räv / Golden eagle & fox

Jag har tidigare fotograferat när kungsörn attackerat levande rödräv.

I slutet av förra veckan fick jag så tag på ett tiotal döda rävar.

En räv placerades ut framför gömslet.

Korpar och övriga fåglar visade misstänksamhet mot räven,

troligen var de inte säkra om den var levande eller död

När så den gamla kungsörnen kom inflygande

såg den inte ut att ta notis om räven var levande eller ej.

Jag känner sedan tidigare till att rutinerade kungsörnar greppar

tag över huvudet för att undgå bett och just ett sådant grepp kopplade

nu örnen på min räv./

Earlier I have been photographing Golden eagle attacking Red fox.

At the end of last week I got hold on some dead Red foxes.

I put one of them in front of the photo hide.

Ravens and other birds was suspicious against the fox,

they were not sure if it was dead or alive.

When the old eagle comes flying in, it takes little notice of whether

the fox is dead or alive.

I know that skilled Golden eagles

get´s a hold over the head to avoid getting bitten,

and as we can see that´s what´s happening in this picture.

Gäster/Guests

En bild från veckan som gick: Några fotografer som fick fotografera kungsörn
alla dagar de satt i gömslet. Det resulterade i så här glada miner under middagen.

A picture from the past week: Three photographers who got shots of the Golden eagle
every day they sat in the hide. It resulted in some happy faces during the dinner.
