Just Curious
Me and Mrs PB are off on hollibobs Saturday, lucky enough to be on a Norwegian Fjord cruise. As there's no specific "wildlife" sections of the cruise, or excursions, I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar, and if there was anything to see from on board... eg is it worth lugging the big lens for chance encounters, or should I just stick to little landscape-y lenses?
Thanks in advance

You may get a sighting of the Norwegian Blue Parrot. Beautiful plumage.PimperneBloke wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 4:42 pm Me and Mrs PB are off on hollibobs Saturday, lucky enough to be on a Norwegian Fjord cruise.

You are very silly... they've muscled up to the bars and bent 'em apart with their little pecker, and vooooom

If you don't see a parrot you might get the chance of a talking Slug.
Re: Just Curious
Maybe you can book a cruise on the MCL Salten and get a nice 'spur of the moment' nature tour!

Well, one time I also fell asleep at the wheel and put my pick-up truck into a corn field by tempo 85 kph.

Re: Just Curious
If you are doing runs ashore you might want a general lens - I think leaning towards architecture etc - Trondheim cathedral is quite special from what I have seen - my brother lives in TrondheimPimperneBloke wrote: Mon Sep 01, 2025 4:42 pm Me and Mrs PB are off on hollibobs Saturday, lucky enough to be on a Norwegian Fjord cruise.
