We photographed Red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator) in Iceland in 2006 with the Nikon D200 and recently on the Baltic Sea coast of Bornholm with the Nkon Z9 in combination with the Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR.

Ekkerøy is one of the oldest fishing villages on the Varangerfjord and belongs to the municipality of Vadsø, whose capital is around 15 km away. It is a bird paradise and the suffix "øy" means that it was originally an island that offered shelter and therefore good chances of survival for the diverse bird life. Now the area is connected to the Varanger Peninsula by a narrow isthmus and migratory birds also like to winter here.
