Beskrivelse: A new floating photo hide in Båtsfjord harbour creates new opportunities for Arctic seaduck study and photography. Situated in Båtsfjord, Varanger. I must admit I had the birding experience of a lifetime. Amazing being surrounded by Stellers-, King- and Common Eiders + Long-tailed Ducks. Thought this is worth sharing here on Netfugl.dk

Eigil, I saw a few hundred Steller's and maybe 30 King Eiders in Båtsfjord, but I didn't look for the big numbers. Kaamanen was good, even though I missed getting good shots of Siberian Jay (they are not easily fed in the spring). The Snowy Owl in Rovaniemi was a bonus worth a detour.
Tack Thomas, det värmer lite extra eftersom jag vet att du själv tar bra bilder.

Beskrivelse: Thanks to http://www.arctictourist.no/ who took me around by boat in the harbour and then lended me the most well-arranged hide I've ever used. Fantastic experience.
MORinellus, med bugfarve som en Mor (dvs Sort afrikaner),
har her - i hvilestilling - antaget næsten Kugleform.
Kuglen/fuglen sløres/opløses så ved Sort top og bund,
skravering ved 3 let hældende Hvide bælter og et 'Guld'-
felt centralt og fortil.
Godt mimicry (på afstand) ell. fri fantasi?

Dens engelske navn 'Dotterel' (enfoldig, fordi let at fange / tillidsfuld) er lidet smigrende,
men Golden Plover ér jo tildelt fætteren.
Tacksamst, DANIEL ......... C.
