Northern Exposure

I'm back after an epic trip to the Arctic Circle. Warmth has finally returned to my toes. Work beckons, so this is just a quick update with more to follow. In short it was spectacular, with birds to dream of and to die for (though I managed to avoid the latter). The landscape is vast, and mostly white, and the trip list is short, but full of goodness. It includes Gyrfalcon and Hawk Owl. I have photographs of all of them, but I'll start with something a little different.

I slept through this last year on Shetland, so this counts as a massive grip-back.
