NF Photo 110616 at Storulvån Mountain Lodge
Our guide at Storulvån asked us the first day what we expected from this trip. I said I wanted some great shots from this bird. Then it turned out that most of the group wanted it. This little bird was "wanted" and we got it. Sadly though, I did not see any female. But they might have been laying on eggs. It was singing a lot and very nice to listen to. It seems to be good at mimicking other sounds like the cowbells for one. It was rather common up there.
