  • In this wildlife photography series, I take you along - behind the scenes - on a week-long photography expedition in pursuit of the hardy creatures that endure the cold temperatures and inhospitable conditions that the Arctic throws at them. In this episode, I travel to the secluded island of Hornøya, to photograph the beautiful and fascinating seabirds that breed there.
    The species in this video are Atlantic puffin, razorbill, European shag, common murre/guillemot & purple sandpiper.

    hi Tobias
    I can well imagine that you are overwhelmed by the large number of birds. the only thing you can do then is to let it happen, and observe and take pictures. you have created a beautiful collage from your 10,000 photos that you have taken. I look forward to what else you leave us in the future. to see❤👍

      Thank you! This was at the start of April, but late March is ideal for the best snowy conditions. I was there with my friend Skjalg-Helmer Vian, so he was kind of my travel guide, if you will. We took the ferry from Vardø (the only way to get out to Hornøya)

    • @TobiasGjerde
      @TobiasGjerde  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much! This was at the start of April, but if I am to go back, I will probably rather go in the end of March. Would you like to join me this March to visit the same locations as in this series, as well as the Arctic ducks in Båtsfjord? I will maybe do a guided trip for two people, so if you and a friend want to join, let me know and send me an email to togj1000@gmail.com for further info. This is of course totally non-binding. Happy new year!

    • @TobiasGjerde
      @TobiasGjerde  Před rokem +1

      Hi thanks a lot! Hornøya island has restrictions on where you can walk, to reduce disturbance to a minimum. It is not allowed to leave the path that goes through the island. The puffins breed right next to the path, but not on the path.
