Farewell Beitostølen

Beitostølen and the mountains are over for this year and Bodø and the Arctic Circle beckons next.

Here are a couple of final photos

this male Linnet (tornirisk) was singing around Beitostølen which I believe is a pretty rare occurrence at this altitude

Redshank (rødstilk) are quite common breeders in marshes at the treeline

although this one had a surprising choice of look out post



the mother of the White Wagtail (linerle) family that was nesting at the cabin said goodbye (or more likely good riddance) to us
