New for the season: Book your individual photo experience with a personal photo guide. We set up the photographing according to your own wishes and alternate between different Golden eagle hideouts with different possibilities and backgrounds, close-ups and landscape images, low or higher photo holes etc. In addition to the Golden eagle, there are for example Grey-headed woodpeckers and other woodpeckers, Goshawks, small birds like Bullfinch and tits, Red fox etc. in the area. Test wide angles and camera traps (equipment for the camera traps is available to borrow) and photograph starry skies. There is also a chance of the northern lights.

This Spring I found two active golden eagle nests in the area, and I recently joined a professional bird ringer in ringing the chicks. The aerial female has found a new male and they are successfully rearing a chick. I have followed the female for seven years and she was comfortable flying close to me as I checked the area around the nest.

Now week 40, we are opening up our hides



An amazing winter season is soon to be completed. Good opportunities have been offered to photograph Golden eagles, various small birds and Red fox etc. in snowy and frosty landscape.
Now the spring season has started with Black grouse play which will goes on until the beginning of May. Over 30 Black grouse has so far arrived to the playground. The Whooper swans has begun to arrive and soon the Common cranes are also here to prepare this year's breeding.







The result of the mating pictures I took some months ago: the young male left the nest a couple of hours ago and this is the young females last minutes in the childhood home. I have spent a lot of time the last month on a steep mountain side photographing this two growing siblings, in cooperation with experts on wild Golden eagles.





One of the summer's photo project has been to document how a young golden eagle evolved over a few weeks before leaving the nest. The photographing was conducted in close consultation with experts at the Golden Eagle in Västerbotten and was not initiated until the young bird had grown up considerably in order not to endanger the nesting result. The youngster is mostly alone in the nest and the parents show up about once a day to leave food.
By now the nesting is completed. It has been interesting to follow the Golden eagle youngster growing up; it has now left the nest and already become sure of wings in its new element: airspace.
Eventually the whole prey is left to the youngster because it should learn to cut by itself. A recurring prey during the month of July has been viper. The parents has flown in with snakes without head but still freshly caught ,death spasms have continued for a long while in the nest. Viper seems to be food that is easy for the young bird to handle and quickly swallow. Picture: The female coming in with Viper.

Now I have paddled ca 70km on two different water ways. In the smaller river -which had a lonely and beautiful running- there was “ relics” (old logs) from the log-driving epoch so I had to drag the canoe here and there. I have come close to birds and animals like for example several beavers, moose, whopper swans, goldeneyes and wild ducks

It looks great around the ospreys this summer and I’ll be photographing from late july through early august. A falcon pair is also nesting in the vicinity so it’ll be a possibility to get pictures of them both.
Before photographing the osprey and falcon it is very important to prepare the right way so you
don’t disturb their nesting. It’ll be just before the youngsters learn how to fly.
I will follow the photographer to the hide and then leave, after that the birds will return straight away. Interested?
