Most of the early summer was spent travelling around in Southern Norway.
The highlight of the period was no less than two Red-footed Falcons (aftenfalk); one near Larvik in Vestfold…
…and one at Jæren in Rogaland.
At Jæren, lake Orrevann always have something to offer. So also this time, with a splendid 2nd summer Bonapartes Gull (kanadahettemåke).
Of other interesting birds at Orrevann, a young Little Gull (dvergmåke) and a couple of Sandwich Terns (splitterne) are worth mentioning.
