Today’s birding was as grey and uninspiring as the weather.
At Fornebu I confirmed the continued presence of the Jack Snipe (kvartbekkasin)
but it flew up before I had a chance to locate it on the ground despite the
fact I was methodically trying to.
This weekend I received a quite impressive magazine in the
post or at least it looks impressive because due to it being in German I cannot
understand a word inside it. I was contacted a few weeks ago by the magazine
asking to use a picture of mine of Waxwings (sidensvans) feeding in mistletoe.
The magazine was an Austrian hunting magazine so I was a bit sceptical about
letting them use the picture but the article on mistletoe was not in itself
about hunting. The magazine came in a wax paper envelope and seems to be more a
magazine for a certain social class rather than specifically about hunting and
it is clear that there is a lot of money in that class judging by tone of the articles,
adverts and also the fact that a quite fat magazine can be published monthly.
Here a couple of pictures of the magazine plus my original
picture.
