Nature – Birds

As was the case for last week’s post with animals, this week I am posting images of birds that have been collecting in a “Miscellaneous Birds” folder over the past two years. These were shot either in my Oslo neighborhood, around Norway, or on some European travels. Beware. There are many shots of gulls. You have been warned.

I am a photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway. My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy photographing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street images as well. Welcome!
