Bird Photography in Scotland, UK. I finally found the bird I've wanted to see and photograph since the summer migrants were on their way back to the UK. The pied flycatcher is a late arriver to the country and it's not a regular breeder in my local forest. In fact, the last time it was recorded breeding was in 2012. I'd almost given up hope.

I'm originally from Norway, but I have lived in Scotland since I studied wildlife biology a long time ago. In Scotland, I’ve worked as an ecologist and occasionally still do some freelance ornithology work. I have a passion for the natural world and I believe it’s our duty to keep as much wildlife and ecosystems alive for ourselves, for future generations and for nature's own sake.
Combining my passion for wildlife with an obsession for photography has been my ultimate pursuit for the last couple of years and I’m enjoying the journey more every day.
