Relaxing Day Part 2

After our walk in the nature reserve we headed on to some viewpoints and a bird blind (though we saw no birds), but while we were driving we saw a bunch of grey herons on the rocks in the water! If you zoom in on the 5th photo you can see them! So that was fun. Then we headed on to Gimsøya island to find a place to park for the night. We got a wonderful spot where it is so incredibly quiet! Barely any traffic and I realized it was so quiet because we are not by the beach anymore! So no loud waves as background noise!

The mountain all by is lonesome to the side of the photo by the lake is what we are going up hike up tomorrow (4th from last photo). The last three photos are where we are parked - one side is the mountain we will walk to the other side to hike up tomorrow, the second is the view over the water on the other side of the car, and the third is a bit of sunset we could see through the clouds. It is such a nice spot and there are so many birds! I was out spying them for a while till I got too cold and watched some Fieldfare eating berries from the tree and a very pretty Great Spotted Woodpecker flitting around. So that was a fun evening! And a nice relaxing day (or more relaxing than the last couple!)Read more
