One of the birds I tried (and tried hard) to show
Ben on Wednesday was Pygmy Owl. After driving repeatedly around Maridalen for a
couple of hours without seeing one it was time to drop Ben off at his hotel. I
joked that I would be bound to find one the next day, and sure enough…
yesterday I found a/the Pygmy Owl in the expected area and one which we had
passed at least 5 times the previous day. But that is what birding and
especially guiding is like.
Photos are a bit distant as a metre of snow
prevented me from getting any closer!
I had no new spring migrants today but did see all four species that I have so far seen: Oystercatcher, Wood Pigeon, Greylag Goose and Stock Dove. I reckon the next species I will see will be Skylark but with Common Buzzard, Snow Bunting and Mistle Thrush other possibilities.
