    Hey Morten, my name is Wiktor I am 16 years old I have been photographing nature since 2012 and I got my first camera at the age of 14. I am from Poland so I am really happy that you came to my homeland because you are a great inspiration for me I hope you liked both nature and people & cuisine
    Btw in Poland we call bison in America we call bison and in Poland we call it "żubr"

      Bison is the English word for it. Not only used in America.

      Nice to see a young man go into nature to make photographs. And, yes, "bison" is an old European word. From Latin/French descent. The Europeans who went to America and saw a bovine looking like the one from Europe, gave it their old European name. In some Northern European languages/countries, the European bison is called wisent. You can easily see the relation between these two words.

      In America we commonly refer to bison as buffalo and use both words interchangeably. I did not know Poland had Bison.

    Simply the only photographer I follow and watch. You are inspiring and the quality content that you put up is incredible. You kinda take us with you on the journey every single time. I'm an amateur photographer but watching your videos makes you feel that you can accomplish many things whether pro or for fun.
    Thank you for all the amazing work and keep shooting 🙏

    The bison were amazing, they are powerful and calm at the same time and yes, it is really something how quiet such large animals can be. Here in northern Ontario the black bear and moose may have taken stealth lessons! I especially liked the photos of the birch, they stand like sentinels of the forest.

    I like many others find your videos amazing to watch. If you get a photo its great but even if you don't the pursuit and the passion are inspiring. I saw another comment where someone else was not breathing while you stalked the Bison, I realized after a minute or so I had a mouth full of food and wasn't chewing so I didn't spook the animal. Thats how you draw people in to your adventures, excellent work.

    Hi Morten, great to see you visited Poland and Białowieża. I hope you enjoyed your stay. We are very proud here of our bisons (or "żubr" as we call them). 100 years ago, after World War I, they were at the brink of extinction, as there was only 50 of them left in the whole world, but polish project of rebuilding european bison population in Białowieża was very successful, and their number is more than 5000 currently (being redistributed back to other countries, too)

    Fantastic video, as always, though! You always get me with the music and photo combination at the end of your videos. If you ever make it out to the states, give me a PM, Kansas City BBQ and Beer on me! Then we can run around the Midwest- or even head to Yellowstone. 😉

    Fantastic bison shots. The bison eating hay in front of the birches is just cool, and the first shot of the bison is really really good. Love that shot. Still I am surprised to see those drone footage because as spectacular and vital as they are in terms of storytelling, it is mind boggling to see that you can actually fly a drone there. Here in California, it's illegal to fly a drone in National Forests (Inyo NF, for instance) or National Parks (Yosemite NP and Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP) that manage most of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Anyway, this video seemed a bit rushed (or maybe I just wanted to watch more... LOL), but I am sure that you had a great time photographing the bisons, which are admittedly fantastic.
