Spitsbergen - Richard Belson

Club member Richard has recently returned from a birding trip to northern Norway and sent us these pictures.

He says the photographs were all taken on Spitsbergen island but the landscape and range of species shown are suspiciously reminiscent of a normal days' birding at Portbury Wharf, were it not for the ice floes.....

Many thanks Richard. Your trip sounds like fertile material for the members' evening next February. In fact, we've already got you booked in....
