Since we finally had some more interesting light (gone now though) I walked down to the river delta again.
The area is very popular with birds. The strong wind seemed to distract them and I happened to get within 4-5 meters of a Crane walking on the field close to the path. Unfortunately I didn't notice it before it took off in panic so I didn't have a chance to take a photo. I thought it looked somewhat small and different, but assumed I had imagined it and walked on. A while later I came across a bird watcher who excitedly said that it's a Demoiselle crane (Grus virgo), only seen in Norway a few times ever. The guy was struggling to get a good view through his monocular spotting scope and was quite envious when I told him about my close encounter. Probably a once-in-a life time experience for me when it comes to birds!
