Our stay in Beitost\u00f8len with visits to Valdresflya continues to produce some interesting birds. On Valdresflya I have seen the Long-tailed Skuas again but they have been too distant for pictures.<\/p>\n

The two male Long-tailed Ducks seem to have their own areas on a lake and may well have a female on a nest nearby. A male and two female Scaup have become a rare sight in the breeding season in Norway.<\/p>\n

Dotterels are numerous this year with birds on the ground and in display flights. The only raptors I have seen are single Kestrel and Peregrine.<\/p>\n

Around the cabin we have breeding Redstarts, Wheatear and White Wagtails with the adults getting anxious every time we walk in the area.<\/p>\n

Butterflies are scarce but I took pictures of what I believe are Pearl Bordered Fritillary and Common Blue.<\/p>\n
