A whole seven days after the last day of sun we saw it again yesterday although I had to drive over an hour to experience it and its arrival was a whole three hours later than forecast - but it was all worth it in the end! I, of course, went to Sulitjelma and hunted butterflies. I was not alone on that errand with another birder/butterer visiting all the way from Lista. Øyvind however was only having a short stop on his way even further north and only got to enjoy 5 minutes of sun before having to leave. I was able to wait it out though and when the sun did finally show for longer periods I finally, and after lots of efforts, got to see the Pale Arctic Clouded Yellow as well as is possible with nectaring individuals too close to focus on and one in the hand such that I could see the upperwing. I also got to see Northern Clouded Yellow’s upperwing so I can now «forget» about these species and concentrate my efforts on the really rare species that I am certain occur up here😊 Pale Arctic Clouded Yellow (polargulving) showing the underside of both wings I had to take matters into my owns hands though to finally see the upperwing This small flower rich hillside was where the previously pictured individual was flying from flower to flower. Previously when I have seen them they have barely had time to stop Spot it? And here another individual. It was only 50m away and was also nectaring but was not quite as easy to follow. It was a much more heavily marked individual making me wonder if one was a male and the other a female. A second, and more heavily marked, Pale Arctic Clouded Yellow (polargulvinge) My usual out of focus flight shot but this is actually better than normal Again showing both wings whereas previously the forewing has been hidden When the light shines through the wings and the forewing is raised then you can see the upper side pattern An almost acceptable flight (take off) shot The upper side of a Northern Clouded Yellow (mjeltgulving) I had to pick it up and blow on it when the sun had gone behind a cloud to get it to open its wings but it flew off strongly when the sun came out again Clouded yellow habitat and with a much larger flying object in the background One flying by And here the upperwing caught as it nectared Birding has occurred too with the Surf Scoter sighted a few times and even digitally documented. Wader passage is picking up with both adult and juvenile Spotted Redshanks now moving. A male Garganey felt like a strange species to see north if the Arctic Circle but they are observed regularly enough over the years that I am sure they breed locally from time to time. Very good numbers of Common and Arctic Terns (a couple of hundred), Lapwings and breeding Lesser Black-backed Gulls were also satisfying sightings. Arctic Skua (tyvjo) which breed on a bog nearby Collared Doves (tyrkerdue) also surprisingly occur this far north although are rare Garganey (knekkand) - in flight its blue forewing showed it was a male in eclipse Adult Spotted Redshank (sotsnipe) with Greenshank (gluttsnipe) Bar-tailed Godwits (lappspove) And the male Surf Scoter (brilleand) showing his white nape patch..

BirdLife Norge ønsker vernet av deler av Hotranbukta i Levanger velkommen. Samtidig er det en bitter seier: Store deler av det verdifulle våtmarksområdet er allerede ødelagt. At restene nå får vern, skyldes i stor grad mange års arbeid fra naturvernorganisasjonene – mens kampen om lovligheten av utbyggingen fortsatt pågår.
