Autumn migration season

I've been rather caught up with day to day "busy" and have not managed much birdwatching this summer. Missed the northerly spring migration, but thought I'd catch some action of the southerly autumn movements. Jaeren is a great gathering place of migrants and residents alike ...

See more bird pictures from this season at Norway Birding.

At the stables

This summer the kids were sent to a week's long camp on a farm to learn about horses and riding. They learnt quite a lot about keeping horses and maintaining stables including the shovelling sh*t part of it. I've always thought the farm life is ideal for growing kids. 

At the end of  the week, they get to show off their riding skills to attending parents. This week, Ali and Aisya successfully completed their introduction to horseriding.
