I spent Christmas inland in my home away from home, Engerdal - possibly one of the most under-birded places in Norway. Birdwise it was definitely a case of quality rather than quantity.
A few walks (far too small a word for slogging up steep slopes in knee deep snow) produced some pretty special birds. I like to think of these as very special Christmas decorations.
Other species included Capercaille tiur, Black Grouse orrfugl and Willow Grouse lirype.
