I was struck down by a stomach bug today but it didn’t stop
me taking the family (including my parents visiting from England) up to Maridalen
to look for the owl. We didn’t see it on our way into the valley but on our
return Rita saw it up on the wires right by the road. We were all able to enjoy
great views as it sat there completely unperturbed by our presence. Passing
rollerskiers stopped to admire it and the local bus stopped so the driver could
see what we were staring at!
Other birds that showed for us were Black Woodpecker
(svartspett), Nutrcracker (nøttekråke), Crested Tit (toppmeis) and Goshawk
(hønsehauk) – not exactly run of the mill birds for people from Sussex!
