This last week has been half term holiday in both
Norway and Britain which meant Ryan Air increased their prices so guiding also
took a bit of a holiday although will bounce back next week. I haven’t had a
full weeks holiday though as today I was out with Thomas and Manon from France
who were rounding off a holiday in Norway with a day with me in Oslo, or as
they put it at the end of the day, experiencing a “grand finale” 😊.
As they are both owls fans it was no surprise what
the targets were. First up was Great Grey which was in the bag only thirty
minutes after pick up – with a bird snoozing in the sunshine and showing really
rather well. Next up was obviously Hawkie with two birds sitting high and proud
only 300 m from each other. We completed the Trio with Piney which I had not
thought we would succeed with as there have not been any other reports this
week but two males (an adult and 2cy) were hanging out on their usual street
and even engaged in some sub song. And all this before lunch!
The Bird Gods are clearly still satisfied with me
and long may it continue.
