Fantastic video as always, Gunnar. You have a great attitude and respect for your subjects, you convey a very important message that wildlife in all it's forms is essential to the survival of us all. Sending that message, is your purpose my friend. So never, ever, give up on that purpose!! 👏👏👏
Brilliant, fantastic footage and images. I agree, people should not feed or get so close to wildlife that it disturbs them or changes their natural behaviour. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. NATURE FIRST. 👍📷😎
Hei Rob, I think the closeness here is not necessarily the problem. The animals are very used to people since it is a nature area used soooo much by people in Trondheim. That is why I do not understand that people think it even necessary to bait here at all. It is pretty weird to me. Cheers :)
Loved the footage of the bird in Dovrefjell, what is it? We went to Lake Kerkini in Greece where the Dalmatian Pelicans look resplendent in the winter months for their breeding season. A handful of boats offer tours for photographers and pelicans gather round the boats where fish are thrown for them; some would say this is baiting. Before the tourism, the fishermen used to kill the pelicans because they feed on the fish they are trying to catch. Luckily the government stepped in and there is now at least this symbiotic relationship, the pelicans don't rely on the tourist boats and the fishermen leave them alone. I grant that photos taken may be disqualified from awards due to the baiting, and some may argue the semantics over the term "wildlife" but what I found more shocking was the use of flash close to the birds in the early morning.
Hei Alan, I’m mean first of all I’m happy to hear that they aren’t killing the pelicans anymore. It’s quite a big topic, but in that case I don’t even know if that’s baiting still. This sounds more like feeding to me, but then maybe that’s the same for the beavers, though I did not see how the beavers got the food. I don’t want to tell people what to do, that’s why I’m asking what they think about it and how it changes their look on the photos. I had that switch around when I was doing my squirrel project. When I realised that I was training the squirrel to do a certain thing, to jump from a to b, I suddenly felt that it was kind of a meaningless thing to do. Even besides probably being unethical, it was totally inauthentic. And what do I want with an inauthentic picture? It’s meaningless in the sense of wildlife photography. If about baiting the question is, why do people bait? Often for business reasons, to get steady photo opportunities for guests. And I think that can highly be questioned in the face of growing wildlife tourism. That’s what it is from my point of view, not wildlife photography, but tourism. And then there’s people that bait to get a photo that’s otherwise too hard to get, and that can also be questioned. Why should we be allowed to get that photo at the price of altering that animals behaviour or habituated it. (A bit of the same goes for the flashes) Just some thoughts 😄 Cheers!

Hallo Gunnar, wieder ein tolles Video von Dir. Ich bin mittlerweile ein großer Fan von Dir geworden!
Das ist schön das es dir gefällt! Ab und zu mache ich auch mal was 😄 schönes Wochenende noch!
30 minutes well spent! Great work, Gunnar. Going back north this summer?
I had to cancel my Hornøya tour, so right now there are sadly no plans, no :( Yoou?
