Finnmark highlights

I intend to write a full trip report about Finnmark but in the mean time here are 3 of my favourite pictures so far (I have 600 stills and videos to go through).

Coming back to Oslo has been a bit of a shock after 6 days of midnight sun, trees that were still not in leaf, temperatures ranging from 1C to 19C and driving miles without seeing anything but sea, mountains, reindeer and snow. Not to mention the birds..

Siberian Tit

Hawk Owl

Pine Grosbeak

I have also gone to the top of the Feltornitologene 2011 year listing although there are many birders who have not recorded their totals on this forum. Still, nice to be on the top though.
