Various wildlife along the James River

The European brown bear

In Scandinavian Wildlife Park you will meet the European brown bear, but there are brown bears all over the world. There are some size and color differences, and they are called different names; in Canada and Alaska they are called Kodiak and Grizzly bears, and in Russia they are called Kamchatka bears. But it’s essentially the same brown bear that lives all over the world.

The Bear Park

Get overwhelmed by our fantastic 2.5 hectare big Bear Park with caves, hills, trees and lots of water. The Bear Park is quite unique and one of the World’s largest, so our bears are very lucky!

These are plentiful in the city and I almost feel bad for using the word wildlife.

There was no shortage of wildlife at my usual sunset haunt this evening!

Luckily the midges weren't visible in the longer exposure shots.

Nothing compared to what this guy went through.

The Smøla willow ptarmigan is a subspecies of the willow ptarmigan, endemic to islands off the Trondheimsfjord.

Unlike the willow ptarmigan, which transitions to an entirely white plumage in winter, the Smøla willow ptarmigan retains some brown-speckled feathers in its winter coat.

I find it is much easier to capture wildlife that isn’t moving. I tried to capture a vulture in flight but just got a mesmerizing photo of his rear end with some wings. I’ll leave all this difficult photography to you experts.

Interesting information about this Moose Lodge. There isn’t a grocery store within 25 miles of me, but I can drive half that distance to find a Moose Lodge in the middle of nowhere. I wonder how many Moose live around here?

We left Eilean Donan Castle and headed for our digs. When we arrived we were all tired and did little more than unpack. Looking out of the window this guy and a few others were spotted in the grass. He obliged and let me take has photo.

Many day s there is nothing to see and happening. Then I saw an egret in a field of goose. Then sudden 4 roe deer running , they came out of the forest I think , Looks like the egret is looking and thinking, what s the hurry?

The brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It has also been called the cock o' the north and the mountain finch.

We was lucky yesterday when we was out at the Peak District. We saw 2 Owls, 2 Short-eared Owls.

So happy about it

It was a misty morning and our first day at Grand Teton. We were eager to see some wildlife.

The Wildlife Animal Sanctuary, Keenesburg, Colorado.

Goldfinch

Found a nesting pair of Ospreys in the same spot I had seen them two years ago. Unfortunately it's on a bridge and I only could point and shoot out of the car.

Hope everybody had a fantastic weekend and a great start into the new week. I will try to catch up with everybody!

A herd of elk decide that munching grass on the railroad side of the fence isn’t a great idea after the horn of an eastbound BNSF freight sounds off at Rollinsville, Colorado, on April 20, 2024.
