life bird




having seen most of the european owls Pygmy was my only likely new bird on the Sweden trip--hoping to photograph the species the first views revealed that birds were usually on the very tops of 60 - 80 foot high conifers!----as we watched one bird amazingly flew down onto a small branch just 1.5m above the ground---a careful approach through thigh deep snow eventually secured some nice photos in spite of the poor light and falling snow
