Tjeldstø 18 January 2013 - Woodcock / Another one bites the dust

Still clear cold and sunny.



This bird ate several such larvae in the short period of observation I had - hope it is enough to keep the bird alive!








With ever descreasing amounts of fresh water the afternoon school run once again provided the best birding. Brief views of a Water Rail vannriske and excellent views of a Woodcock rugde were the highlights. Photography and viewing greatly hampered by traffic though....




Snow on the eyeball MUST be cold!




A combination of work and a very painful knee after a fall on the treacherously slippy ice / snow combo yesterday I barely got out at all. A short hobble at Hjelme produced the first two Jays nøtteskrike of the year  along with several Parrot Crossbill furukorsnebb and the usual woodland stuff.
