Sorry I am having to write this in sections as I just wrote a whole blog post with all the photos in and it didn't upload properly so having to start again!

The next day was not quite as successful, we were out with Monica, a present of a radio programme very similar to 'Out of Door's dealing with all things in the countryside for NRK (the Norwegian equivalent of the BBC). The media in Norway are also interested in the Scottish and Irish re-introduction projects. After a couple of long walks into nests one only had a single chick and at a second we found the cliff was too difficult to abseil down to get into the nest once we got there, we did see a family of ring ouzels on the way back though! Once we had dropped Monica off at the airport we walked along the shore to a nest in a small skita spruce and were rewarded with twins. The chick left in the nest is fitted with Norwegian rings, the blue colour is the area code for Norway and the colour ring for 2011 is red and black. There were also the remains of a hedgehog left in the nest, probably taken as roadkill.
