August guiding

 Today I was guiding Heidi from New York (check out her great digiscope videos on Twitter @heidicleven).

We had a great morning and saw a number of good birds really well including Goshawk, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Whooper Swan and Red-throated Diver.

adult Red-throated Diver (smålom) with a fish it is taking to young on a smaller lake somewhere in the forest

Mink are very much unwanted in Norwegian nature but have become very much at home and show little fear of humans

an adult Goshawk (hønsehauk) in wing moult. A male judging by small build

and a fresh juvenile which was a much bulkier bird and therefore a likely female

Cormorant (storskarv) of the subspecies sinensis

two adult Buzzards (musvåk) which were displaying
