Another attempt to avoid the rarities - I fled east again to escape the rarity pressure - and avoid the inevitable few days of rarity reports before the February deadline next year😀
Although there were obviously less birds about that my recent visit it was still a pleasure to bird the area - possibly one of the few places left that can be still called wilderness. I even managed to find yet another promising locality for further investigation next year.....
Waxwing sidensvans were particularly obvious, I picked up a cracking roadside Hawk Owl haukugle and even managed a new species for the municipality (at according to artsobs) - Goldfinch stillits along with a few more Engerdal year ticks.
I even left my real camera at home - only taking my point and pray superzoom with an almost flat battery. Less time spent downloading images = happier birder!
So just a few pics and a couple of short videos.
A nice result.

Røksdalskanppen. I'll be back!
This photo in no way does justice to the actual view. Stunning is too small a word!
Galtsjøen with Sølen in the background
A nice result.
