During our stay in Northern Norway we tried to make the most of the 2 hours of near daylight, which on top is being compromised by weather and this can mean that you see no daylight at all if it's snowing or storming. But this day was a perfect one with a cold brightness that highlighted the unapproachable beauty of the North.
The Chestnut-naped Antpitta is a typical ground-dwelling Grallaria, although it sings from a low perch, and which strongly prefers bamboo thickets in humid montane forest at 1900 to 3150 m. Its geographical range extends from north-central Colombia to northernmost Peru. As is typical of the Grallariidae, very little has been published to date concerning this species’ ecology, although the eggs have been described, and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta is presumably a fairly strict insectivore. Three species of the Chestnut-naped Antpitta are recognized and these differ principally in their crown colour and the intensity of the saturation to the underparts, although there are also some differences in their vocalizations. The basic plumage pattern, common to all three, is of gray underparts with a darker face, and rufous-brown upperparts, usually brightest and most rufescent over the crown and nape. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chnant1.01

The Caucasus close to the Gudauri Friendship Monument. The mountain ridges in the back mark the border to South Ossetia, a self-declared autonomous republic which only is accepted by five other countries and which under international law still is considered part of Georgia but cannot be accessed from Georgia. It heavily relies on Russia and aims for an integration into North Ossetia which is a part of Russia.
Preciosa ascensión, desde el refugio de Linza, a la Mesa de los Tres Reyes (2.446 m.). Es el techo del Pirineo navarro y de toda Euskal Herria. Esta cima une (de ahí su nombre) los antiguos reinos de Navarra, Aragón y Francia. Las vistas, ya desde el principio de la ascensión, son sensacionales.
