I dag fikk jeg en svært hyggelig mail om at mine bilder «Spurvehauk blikk» og «Fiskeørn i miljø» har blitt premiert med henholdsvis 1 og 3.plass i Fokus Norge sin fotokonkurranse for elever over hele landet! Spurvehauken kom på 1. plass i kategorien «Fugler og Dyr», mens fiskeørna kom på 3.plass i kategorien «Naturens Stemninger».

...in one day. Saturday last weekend the weather forecast finally showed some great sun, witch seems like a blessing in Norway. I decided to visit two lakes witch I knew had great light during the morning and evening hours. The alarm watch was set to 0325, but I was lucky to be awoken by the sound of singing birds instead. The following photos are from the morning session.

After a couple of hours home, I went to Østensjøvannet in the evening. My main goal was the Great Crested Grebe, but it turned out that they wouldn`t cooperate, but I managed to get som shots anyway. The following photos are from the evening at Østensjøvannet.
