"...Yeah Sandberger, my face was nicely leisurely frozen:)..."

I can imagine. :)

"...Vydra river, very clean, with otters and salmons..."

Interestingly (or not) vydra (Czech for otter) is the same word in Hungarian just spelt differently (vidra) and also Croatian, Romanian and a bunch of other languages I think, I have no idea where the name came from originally.

Thanks for support Dave, I really appreciate that. I also look forward to a lynx, or maybe I will install the cams in NP Podyji (southern warm forests) to get a wildcat...

Hi all, I have been very busy last months, but yesterday evening I couldn´t resist and packed my basic stuff for wildlife photography:
IMAG0326_zpsb9553a6b.jpg



This time I went just behind the city, not to wild hills and gorges like usually, as I had just two hours of daylight to spend, plus weather was tricky, dark sky with occasional sunshine between the clouds. Rural countryside where I went to is classical lowland central european, fields and hedges combined with patches of forest and meadows:

Then I immersed into one of small woods, and have found ideal spot to set up an observation post, with plenty of hare, red deer and boar tracks around. I put camera on tripod and started enjoying the tranquility of the place, just watching playing hare with binos, and also spotted two pieces of roe deer:

Even if the images are crappy and not really sharp (I used max focus and it´s never good that way, but objects were just too distant), I really cleared my head. After sun started setting behind horizon, I have packed my stuff and went back to car. But I have taken different, longer route, just to stay outside a while longer...

Stay focused ;)

Hi Dave, binos are civilian version of EDF. This glass was made in Carl Zeiss Jena, Eastern Germany. It´s 7x40, extremely durable and precise quality. Nowadays the company is called Docter, and makes all kinds of tactical stuff. They sell these binos for 800 EUR now, only difference is that they are all black.
