Sirdal again

It's low season in the mountains ... we tweaked Sirdal cabins to the fullest! The kids are almost to the point of "enough of cabin weekends!" but of course that's what the need exactly ... more time at the cabins, stuck with their parents!

Early morning at Mosvannet

Pristine morning in the middle of the city ... filled with birds. The path around Mosvannet almost always have something to be discovered as far as birds are concerned. Approaching winter it seemed filled with waterbirds besides the permanently present Mallards; there are Coots, Pochards, Great Crested Grebe, Grey Heron and others. Along the forested parts there'd be the usual Great Tit, and Chaffinch. And of course the gulls.

World Shorebird Day 06th Sep 2014

Spent the wet rainy morning of the 06th September wader watching at Naerlande Beach as part of the Worl Wshorebird Day together with Neil Robert Jones Friestad.

There were approximately 2000 birds there, 80% of which were Dunlin, 10 % Common Ringed Plover and the remaining 10 % were Knot, Little Stint, Sanderling, Ruddy Turnstone, and Ruff.

The entire morning were overcast and wet; lighting were flat and not exactly ideal conditions for shooting handheld. But alas ... birders make do with what's available to them ... we did just that.
