01.05.2012

1/5/2012

 
01.05.12 Woke to a surprise again after a night so windy thought the van was going to fly, to find ourselves covered in snow again. At least the gale had abated somewhat.
After a lazy start drove down into town and found a level piece of hardstanding out of the wind and adjusted the front suspension air pressures and after a final check tomorrow with the manufacturer will continue with what is now plan A, ie., plan B plus plan C. Ho well at least we shall only look like a tortoise with a limp as opposed to the earlier three legged version.
Took a run down the west coast of the island and saw a fait bit. Also the stormy weather has whipped up quite a sea and the waves rolling in off the Norwegian Sea are quite impressive especially breaking on the rocky coastline.
For the hornythologists amongst you spotted the following which I could ID:
Whooper Swans
Red-breasted Merganser
White Tailed Eagle
Eider Ducks
Saw three other species which are driving me nuts trying to find out what they are. Checked thru my book umpteen times and cannot get there. Going out again tomorrow sow will have to get a better look.

The Whooper Swans make a change for the bog standard Mute Swans which were al over the place coming through Poland and the Baltic States.

Amazing what you have to watch out for above the Arctic Circle. The scratchy look to the photo is the snow!
