Day 12 - Aug. 30 Per Kristian's house

After sharing dinner with Øystein and Toril, we all headed to Per Kristian's house. Oddvar and Solveig headed to their house in Sandnessjøen while Ivan, Astrid and I stayed here at the beautiful home of Per Kristian and his wife, Rakel. While we ate breakfast in the morning (window behind the group) we watched 3 magpies chasing a falcon, several Pied wagtails foraging on the ground and, best of all, a Jay taking food which Rakel had thrown onto the lawn. You MUST see this bird:

Imagine sitting quietly, eating your breakfast when this gorgeous bird appears on the lawn right outside your window! The bird is large, larger than a Western Scrub Jay, and extremely extroverted. Lar, this was our Norwegian crippler!
