I visited south Bohemia this weekend, place where I have grown up and where my parents live. It´s the most beautiful part of the country (at least if we talk about nature), full of ponds and gently rolling wooded hills. Here are couple of pics I took today:
Ciconia nigra (Black Stork)

Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold)

Great pics as always. Remarkable that you managed to get so close to a pine martin, they are always so shy. I have beech martins living in my attic!

**BushrangerCZ** · 17-04-2011, 21:29

Thanks mate,
there are a lot of beech martens (we call them "rock" martens) in Czech attics too. I was actually waiting for a boar (which I got 15 minutes later, but it was already getting dark and photo is poor quality), sitting on the ground in cammies, not moving, listening and observing, with camera ready. This was my first pine marten at all.

taken today, while sitting on the ground and waiting for a hog:-)

From this weekend, National Park Ceske Svycarsko (npcs.cz). I finally visited all of our National Parks.

**BushrangerCZ** · 26-04-2011, 21:57

I went to check my trail cam installed on hog trail, and chilled out a bit in rainy forest afterwards, waiting for possible deer passing by, and reading a book - good time.
PS: No, I don´t have swollen knees, that´s knee inserts:-)

Wow top photos mate, really really good. The bushnell photos are fantastic

**BushrangerCZ** · 28-04-2011, 21:42

Thanks buddy... daylight photos of boars are not common, looks like I finally found the area where they are hiding during the day.

**BushrangerCZ** · 29-04-2011, 21:51

So today I found boars, stag, roe deer and much more... good day!

As a amateur digital compact camera and an occasional DSLR photographer from Finland, I wonder what is the average Line-of-Sight (LoS) distance in your usual sceneries? At least the woodland photographs show that is it much greater there than here where we basically have two different settings: taiga with a LoS of maybe ten to fifteen meters and tundra-like terrain with LoS of kilometers.

Czech great pics and great firearms manufactures wish i could live there u would not be able to keep me out of the woods would like to see more pics if u have any

**BushrangerCZ** · 10-07-2011, 11:57

Hello Martti, in woods I take photos on fairly short distance, that boars are taken from apprx. 15-20 meters, I was lucky. That running roe deer is taken maybe from 30m, and pics from trail camera have no magnification, so they are taken from the distance as you see it.
Thanks dixienorms, if you ever come to CZ, let me know, I´ll give you some outdoors tips:-). Right now I am outside the country on business trip, but if you want to see some oder pics, they are in my pseudoblog:-).

last October, can´t wait for another... Autumn in the city is bleak, but in the hills it´s different story... woods are full of smells, wet fur, falling colourful leaves, waking up ancient instincts and making hair on your neck standing up
