Six nights and mornings in my Capercaille hide

In one of my tent we were visited by an impertinent capercaillie. When one of my guests was in the hide, tried the grouse to fly up and sit down on the tent. I was awakened by the capercaillie ran into the tent. The name of this capercaillie is Great Albin.

The first night and morning in my in my capercaille hide was a success, I was lucky and got the bird in good light for three hours in front of the hide.

One of the hides we put up today is for photographing capercaillie courting on the ground. The peak of the season is usually in early May.

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.

Bättre en fågel mellan träden än tio bakom...
Better a bird between trees then ten behind...
