Oevre Leirfoss
This is the lake where I found the wagtail. It's in the hills above Trondheim. Beautiful, isn't it!- delia todd

On the rocks
After lunch, Ann took me up to the forest above Trondheim. Somebody had put some feeders there so we were hopeful of some nice woodland species. However, sadly, they hadn't been filled (though we did take some feed with us) nothing appeared. We hoped for a return visit one day, but that didn't...- delia todd

Flight practise
.... Mine, not their's LOL Three Common Gulls came flying upstream and I took a series of shots of them, this was the best though, with just the two left. Whites are a bit blown I think in the strong sunshine.- delia todd

Can Spadge come out to play?
This pose just reminded me of a little boy knocking at his friends house to ask if he could come play with him. Taken in the first cemetery on my first day in Norway.- delia todd

Come on in.....
.... the water's lovely. While most of the gulls appeared to be Common, I did spot this Black-headed enjoying a bathe. Ann kindly explained why it's called Goose Park.... apparently there used to be a restaurant there called The Goose (appears to be "Gsen" in Norwegian).- delia todd

Upriver
This is an overall view of Goose Park looking upstream from my picnic area seat. That's another Common Gull flying across. I did spend some time trying to master flight pictures while waiting for Ann to return. Why it's called Goose Park I've no idea.... never saw one LOL- delia todd

Teenagers have trouble rising in the morning
There were many gulls around Goose Park the majority being Common Gulls. This is a juvenile who seemed to be reluctant to get up LOL- delia todd

Guess they're everywhere!
.... except I really don't see many (on the ground anyway) here at home. The next day we walked down (notice the down please) into town (as I'd have to do it unaccompanied in a few days so was shown the way). I left Ann to go and make her calls in the various shops and went to the river, an...- delia todd

.... and a sort of Lifer
This is a White Wagtail, which I've not seen before (at least not identified one). The subspecies we get here is, of course, the Pied Wagtail. It was very distant, and I only thought there was a bird there. The only way I could find it in the viewfinder was by looking for the leaf! After it...- delia todd

Another life view
After wandering through the garden, we went through a gate into another very pretty cemetery, with more pine trees. And more views of my so wanted bird. Not the prettiest of the world's birds perhaps, but how much I'd wanted to see one, and I get them in two city centre locations! Birding is...- delia todd

Wading
Another, just wanting to keep his feet cool was this Hooded Crow. Apparently there are no Carrion Crows in Norway (or at least up that far). These guys are everywhere and much braver than the ones I see.- delia todd

Bliss
I quite fancied joining her.... the temperature was in the upper 20's if not into the 30's!!! And I thought Norway was a cool country LOL We'd left the cemetery and were heading for another, that on accessed through this little park. The pond was quite attractive and a draw for a number of birds.- delia todd

Black with the RGB
Another bird we found in the cemetery was this Rook. Much less wary of people there than they are where I live!! Thought this one made for a lovely colourful image.- delia todd

Lifer ticked
Got there this year and at last I've got to my holiday folder to show you my pictures from Norway. The best part of a day's travelling found me in the care of Ann (Doc Duck) and her husband in the beautiful Norwegian city of Trondheim. My room had a lovely view of some bird feeders and...- delia todd

Just a hellish day
Yeah.... Ann took me to Hell so I got my own back and took her picture at the entrance, and you can see she's going down .... down.... (she's taller than me would you believe;)) and she's definitely down under now!:-O This was one of the last pictures I took on my holiday. My other Lifer of...- delia todd

First night home again
Not remitted from hospital yet, but out on leave about 20 hours of each day. My first night at home I was captivated by the sunset. Not that I haven't seen hundreds of equally spectacular sunsets over the years here, but it's been months since the last one, so I was captivated. At midsummer...- Doc Duck
