Since it was first signed into law in 1970, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has been one of the most important statutes for protecting birds, other wildlife, and communities from the...
I write this on the last day of April and therefore the day before my favourite birding day of the year – 1 May. This day may not statistically prove to be that great but it is a national holiday and I will always be in Maridalen from dawn following the migration. What will turn up tomorrow? Red Kite? Black-shouldered Kite?? Pygmy Cormorant???. Since my last post I have added the following to Oslo 2024: Greenshank #145, Pied Flycatcher #146 and Whinchat #147. So, 150 is definitely a possibility before the end of April. When I first started noting my Oslo list I thought 150 for the whole year was a good result! Migration is delayed this year so we could have some good days ahead of us but unfortunately there is no rain forecast and just lots of sun so there will be no big falls of migrants. In the Dale the swan drama has now settled down with the Whooper Swans on the nest and presumably incubating whilst the Mutes are on the other side of the lake. I cannot wait (a month) to see if the eggs hatch. The male Three-toed pecker was still excavating the nest hole today and hasn’t come very yet. The entire chamber will probably take him a couple of weeks. Svellet is looking scrumptious and now the birds just need to come. 25 Greenshank today was a 400% increase on the day before so it can just keep on going like that for a few days and we will all be happy. variety in the Dale - Common Sand (strandsnipe), Green Sand (skogsnipe) and White Wag (linerle) Golden Plovers (heilo) at Årnestangen my first Oslo Greenshank (gluttsnipe) of the year! I was as surprised as the Snipe (enkeltbekkasin) when I came around a corner and we made eye contanct the male Three-toed Woodpecker (tretåspett) has not come that much further with his nest hole building my first toad of the year first Whinchat (buskskvett) and first Yellow Wag (gulerle) although not in Oslo yet. A male thunbergii and I bumped into this beauty

Den 23. april 2024 smalt det skikkelig i Fredrikstad, da en svartvingeglente ble observert trekkende mot syd. Dette var det første funnet av denne arten i Norge. Fuglen ble forsøkt gjenfunnet, men dette lyktes dessverre ikke.
Hej everyone, When we (Johanna and Mira) left on the 20th of March, we promised to come back soon, so here we are again, only for five days, but we enjoy every second of this little vacation from university...
Jeg regnede ikke med det store i dag pga det fine vejr, men jeg tog fejl. Der var over 30 fugle på den første runde og der efter var det stille og roligt resten af standardtiden. Mads var her igen...
Der var frisk vind på 8-9m/s fra sydsydvest da vi stod op og Maxim og jeg måtte arbejde med lidt færre net åbne i haverne pga vinden. Det gav nu alligevel en del ringmærkede fugle og godt var det,...
Friday was again a quiet day in the Dale as was Saturday and although I had high hopes for today with there being rain the cold northerly wind again meant no obvious arrivals. Tomorrow though… I have visited the Three-toed Woodpeckers again and after following the pair around thinking they were checking out trees suitable to excavate a nest hole in they eventually led them to a tree they have already selected and I was able to watch the male excavating the nest hole. This is the first time I have found a nest hole this early and it will be exciting to follow progress. It is 4.5m up which is higher than I have previously seen but is still easy to view. Whilst excavating the male was entirely oblivious to my presence and I was able to stand under him and have splinters rain down on me. I was on driving duty on Friday night for Jr Jr and friends so I decided to fit some nocturnal birding in before I collected them. It is still too early for the vast majority of nocturnal singers but I did have a Long-eared Owl singing and was able to get very close. It is amazing how quiet the song is close up and it is almost as though the sound get louder the further away you are from the bird. I also heard and then found in the thermal imager a migrating flock of Common Scoters so now feel like a fully fledged novice nocmigger. Svellet is now looking very tasty and although the weather has prevented any big arrival yet there is now an interesting assortment of waders with Spotted Redshank, Ruff, Greenshank and Whimbrel now present. The swan drama in Maridalen has become very interesting with the Whoopers having pushed the Mutes permanently off their nest and one of the Whoopers (the female?) is now sitting on the nest as though incubating. Is she on the Mute Swan eggs? Will they hatch? The Whoopers (and I am sure it is in the same pair) first nested in 2010 and possibly the female is now too old for breeding but she still has the urge to? It is still early in the season though and in previous years I have not seen them on the nest until early May. Also interesting was 5 Grey Heron perched together in trees in Maridalen. Although I saw no sign of nesting it is perhaps a sign that they are attempting to establish a new heronry? Only one addition to my Oslo 2024 list and it was the predicted Wryneck #144. What will come in the next few days? Wood Sandpiper and Greenshank should well turn up and maybe Yellow Wagtail and Redstart. Three-toed Woodpeckers (tretåspett) frequently search for food very low down on trees tongue out the female (white as opposed to yellow crown) feeding on a fallen tree the nest hole - about 4.5m high whilst I was watching it was the male doing the excavating just the entrance has been excavated. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to finish from below Long-eared Owl (hornugle) after sunsent singing from a tree top a Moose encountered in Maridalen one of the Whooper Swans inspecting the Mute Swan nest yesterday (with the female Mute looking on) and here the Whooper pair is seeing off the male Mute and today a Whooper was on the nest whilst the Mutes seemed to watch forlornly from the water a flyby from one of the Whoopers wing tip grazing the water my first, and a most welcome, Wryneck (vendehals) of the year a rare visit this morning to the oxbow lake called Stilla near Lillestrøm revealed this male Pochard (taffeland) that has been around for a week with Tufted (toppand) and also a newly arrived pair of Shoveler (skjeand)

There was some footage worth keeping so here are three videos of Wednesday and Thursdays happenings in the Dale. I can also add that an evening trip that day added Shelduck to the list. This is a rare and way less than annual species here.
