Ikke om alpakkaer idag, men et gledelig syn for en natur- og fugleinteressert. Ikke siden jeg, Rolf, var tenåring i Tønsberg har jeg sett rødstjert i sine flotte farger. Men idag satt den på gjerdet rett utenfor stuevinduene, vippet litt, kikket på meg og fløy avgårde igjen. Vi har rødstjert i hagen!

Nå skal vi få opp en kasse spesielt for den og krysse fingra!

Common Redstart in the garden

Not about alpacas today, but a great sight for a lover of nature and birdlife. Not since I, being Rolf, was a teenager in Toensberg have I seen a Redstart in its glorius colours. But today it just sat there on the fence outside our living room, bobbed its tail a little, looked at me and flew away. We have a Redstart in the garden!

We are going to put up a bird house specially made for it and cross our fingers!
