SOLO CAMPING and epic BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY

Join me on a solo camping adventure under a tarp while I capture stunning bird photography, including the rarest woodpecker in Norway. The White backed woodpecker. Experience the great outdoors with me and learn some tips for outdoor camping and bird photography in the forest.
Spring is a great time for bird photography. And one of my target species this year is woodpeckers. The white backed woodpecker is endangered in Norway due to habitat loss and fragmentation. It prefers old-growth forests with a high density of dead and decaying trees, which provide the insects and larvae it feeds on.
By camping outdoors it gives me the opertunity to spend time, documenting this bird.

I really enjoyed this video. The woodpecker is so beautiful, and the location is almost mystical. You mentioned that it was a lot of work ... I guess you meant to find the woodpecker. It would be really great to hear more about how to find birds in the wild. That's one of the biggest mysteries for - how to find birds in the wild. How did you do it?

I have spent so many nights out like that, Trond, that I felt like I was there with you. The pictures of the woodpecker were beautiful.

Great flying shots that I think take good planning and execution to get. You know how to enjoy life in nature and bring it to us in a way that makes us wish we were there also. Keep that z9 working overtime.

I love the white-backed woodpecker. They are very rare in Poland. In May, I had the opportunity to observe one in the Białowieża Forest from a distance of several meters when it was looking for insect larvae in rotten wood. Amazing experience. Thank you for the video and best regards!

[@trondwestby]

Me too :) Thanks for the support and compliment.

Hei Trond! jeg kjenner Jonathan jeg går i klassen over han!

[@trondwestby]

Kult! :)

[@PLH-k5c]

I like your work and ethic of working on truly wild subjects, but….I’m uneasy with how you describe this as critically endangered due to habitat loss, but then show us you stripping bark from standing dead wood. That is where the invertebrates the bird feeds on live! That is habitat destruction. Or did you do that somewhere else that is away from where the bird does or could live? I welcome your thoughts.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you for your kind words and concern. I did not camp near the woodpecker. The little I took, I did not see any harm in that. But I respect your commenting on this. 👌

[@The203cgr]

Can we agree that you are very inspired by the nature photographer Morten Hilmer and his TH-cam channel. I see a lot of similarities in your videos in terms of subject choice as well as destinations. But okay - it's your own choice to follow in other people's footsteps instead of creating your own...
