Pygmy Owl

Well camouflaged in an old woodpecker nest (probably), this pygmy owl brightened up one of my summer days not long ago here in Troms - perhaps one of the cutest birds ever and the smallest owl in Europe.

Too warm for a photogapher...

For some reason I photograph very little during summer and therefore the blog updates suffer. Instead, I have been re-designing my website a bit lately and I have added some fresh images of Nordic Wildlife to the galleries. While there is still a lot of work to do I came across some collections of photos that I had almost forgotten about, so here's a July-photo I found in my archive.

With best summer-wishes (and for those like me who like cold temperatures better), fingers crossed for some rain and less harsh photo-light :-)
