Guiding

This week my professional birding career is kicking off in style. I am the local guide for a VENT tours 6 day trip around Southern Norway. We are 7 customers, 2 guides and a driver in a 50 seater luxury coach!! The birding destinations we will visit will never have experienced anything like us before!
Today we were in the Oslo area and visited Nordre Øyeren and of course Maridalen. Blyth's Reed Warbler (busksanger), Hobby (lerkefalk), Marsh Harrier (sivhauk), Red-backed Shrike (tornskate) and Wryneck (vendehals) were highlights of a good day.

This Hobby was hawking insects over our heads at Årnestangen
