UNEXPECTED BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY ⎸ Expedition to the SWISS ALPS - ep. 3
For a long time, I have dreamed about photographing Alpine wildlife during the brutal grip of winter. January 2023, I finally made it happen, and went on an eight-day long expedition in the company of (among others) Mateusz Piesiak, Levi Fitze and Marc Siegle. I travelled around Switzerland and France and visited exceptional locations for wildlife photography, capturing some of my best images to date. In the third episode of this six-part mini-series from the Alps, I photograph Alpine birds from atop a mountain in the heart of Switzerland, as well as explore a deep ravine to photograph a bird I have never seen before. Come along for a film of bird photography, friendship and wild adventure, and stay tuned for the continuation!
The species in this video include the bearded vulture/lammergeier, golden eagle, white-winged snow finch & wallcreeper.

Amazing sighting of a wallcreeper. Magnificent bird. We also have it here in Slovakia, where I live, but it´s very rare and endangered.

Thanks a lot! I love them too. After all, I came all the way to Switzerland to see them
3rd episode in a row! Now for the 4th! That's how amazing they are... Loved your shots! From details to wider shots, showing up bits of their surroundings, their habitat. And ending up with the wallcreeper was quite awesome! Only saw it one time, and it is quite an exquisite bird, so beautiful!! And still had the chance to photograph it here in my country - Portugal. Cheers Tobias! And thank you

@@TobiasGjerde Unfortunately, in the place where I photographed it, it stopped being observed a couple of years ago. As far as I know, the observations are now very sporadic and in very vast places that are difficult to access to photograph. Even so, these videos made me even more willing to spend a few days in that hotel to try the bearded vulture (in Portugal we call them bonebreaker as them break and eat the bones of dead animals)... I already knew the place and had seen other videos, but your series of episodes is top notch.
Another outstanding video! Stunning images as well! And I' not surprised Mateusz was the one to spot the wallcreeper haha guy has an eagle eye

Hahah I do not know if you are joking or not, but I'll explain anyways. Lammergeier is another name for bearded vulture

Lämmergeier (this ancient German name is based on the old myth that these birds carry away newborn lambs) and Bartgeier (exact translation of Bearded Vulture) are the German synonyms
