Kaj – What happens in Skreda

What a wonderful summer day!

22^th July

Good weather, about 18 degrees.

It was really warm in the sun so we decided to have the breakfast outside of the cabin.

After a while the tame seagull Kaj came by. It was possible to handfeed it again.

Worked hard with painting the second layer of the rorbu we are building. Now it starts to look like it should, red.

In the evening we went to fish at Hagnäset and Nappstraumen.
We didn’t get so much fish (a small cod for tomorrow’s lunch, and some even smaller saithes as bait for halibut), but saw a seal sticking up it’s head from the water and an eagle flying up towards a mountain top. Unfortunately I was not fast enough so I didn’t get the chance of taking a photo of them. But we got some really nice photos of the sunset (yes, the midnight sun is not shown anymore this year. Midnight sun is shown from about mid may to mid july.)

The story about the tame seagull

21^th July

When we saw a seagull outside the neighbours cabin, we heard the story about the tame seagull.
It seems one of the employees of the fishing camp has been nice to it through some time, and now you can see it waiting for food close to the cabin.
Johan wanted to check if it was possible to hand feed it, and succeeded after a long time with giving the bird the food at a distance from him and just waiting (still) for the bird to take it, and putting the food closer and closer to him.

Later on this seagull has gotten the name “Kaj”.
