The drive home from Bodø to Oslo is long but there are plenty of birding opportunities along the way
 |
| the fox seemed to sense that we were leaving and came to say goodbye to us as we packed up to leave the cabin |
 |
| a railway runs across Saltfjellet and this Bluethroat used the rails as a vantage point to watch my progress and scold me if I came too close |
 |
| this Redpoll was attracted by the scolding Bluethroat and also followed me from the train tracks |
 |
| Long-tailed Skuas are one of those mountain species that do not seem to view humans a threat and allow very close approach |
 |
| this male Red-necked Phalarope clearly had young nearby but I never saw them |
 |
| Redshanks breed up on Saltfjellet but I had to look twice at this individual and when it flew.... |
 |
| it revealed it was a Spotted Redshank and a very early juvenile |
 |
| the type that breeds up there: Common Redshank |
 |
| A stop at Dovre on te way back gave me my first ever Muskox but they were no more than dark blobs that moved very slowly along the mountainsde |
 |
| female Redstart |
 |
| my attempt for Siberian Tit in Southern Norway produced, yet again, just Willow Tits |
and another video
