This morning I succesfully guided Bent to his 250th species
photographed in Norway. The target was the Long-eared Owls I found on Friday.
We were searching in unforecast (as usual) heavy rain which made searching
difficult but did keep the mozzies slightly as bay. It took surprisingly long
to find them but when I did finally get my eye on one of the youngsters it was
less than 10metres from where I had it on Friday. It was at eye level in a bush
so had either “flown” there or more likely had ended up falling to the ground
and then scrambled up. We couldn’t find an adult but in the rain it was tough
going.
A Terek Sandpiper has been found at Kurefjorden showing that
searching for waders in Mid-June isn’t complete madness and Årnestangen definitely has the potential to host a species of this calibre.
In the rain my cameras stayed safely in the dry but I did snap Bent and the owl with the mobile.
