Czech wildlife

[BushrangerCZ]

From my sunday trip... all these types of habitat are on just couple of square km of highland woodland, I took photos as I was passing through. I also heard boars, and spend some time in prone lying still with my camera ready, but no success. Anyway, it was a great time - and you know what they say, days spent in the woods are not counted into the lifetime limit.

Excellent photos, just shows how much wildlife and relatively untouched countryside there is here
I've never been to Litovelské pomoraví but I will have to add it to my list.

Thanks Col_M, all national parks and natural reserves are pretty here, I especially like NP podyji, as it is smallest, but great national park, and Jeseniky mountains, which are a bit "forgotten" as they are not the highest ones.

im glad im not the only one that spends there time lying prone with a camera!

what clothes do you wear?

 

[BushrangerCZ]

Hi buddy,
I wear worn army camo uniform, as a soldier, it´s cheap solution for me, and practical too - good color, material, cut, and lots of pockets.

 

[MrEd]

yeah i wear a camo jacket, black trousers and i wear green gloves on my hands and a sniper veil as a kind of hat to hide the shine of my face

works quite well i have found, hands and face i think the animals can see the 'white' flashing as you move so i try hard to hide that, your pics are superb, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I've been living here in Prague for four years now, the language is difficult but I'm making progress slowly

I thought that Col_M is somehow related to colonel. So how do you like Prague? Honestly, I don´t, I think that we have more beautiful cities elsewhere with not so much human trash (immigrants selling drugs in Vaclav´s square are especially pis.ing me off).

 

[Col_M]

Ah no just as simple as my name being Colin
Prague is nice, it's much less hectic than other capital cities but it's about 4x bigger than my hometown, it has everything you need and the countryside is so easy to get to. Will be even easier if I get a car

I think I'm definately a country boy at heart though and love the peace and quiet but wages are always bigger in the city so it's a catch 22 situation.

So I´m glad you enjoy your time, not a bad beer, especially its price, is it? I highly recommend private brewery "Basenth" in Prague. They have also good kitchen. But be aware, right next to it is pretty crappy stinky pub called similarily "U Basenthu". Cost of apartments in Prague is not so good, I would say it´s downright terrible, at least for me like a Czech. So if you like countryside, I recommend NP Šumava (www.npsumava.cz), apprx. 2 hours drive to south, probably the most beautiful place here, large woodlands, lakes, rolling hills, clear enviroment, and good cross country/downhill skiing and cycling.
