After 3 very cold days but with only a small amount of snow we then had a day with LOTS of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday whilst temperatures rose to +/- zero. Thursday was cold again although at only -5C was a relative joy to be out in but today, Friday, the forecast is for the mercury to rise over zero and lots of RAIN. Welcome to icy pavements and roads and hell on earth… This week I have mostly been looking for snipes, rails and owls and succeeding to a good extent. Jack Snipe, Water Rail and Pygmy Owl have shown well, Common Snipe has been seen briefly but a Great Grey Owl in Maridalen has only been heard about via via but if the record is genuine then both myself and a number of others would appear to have been very close to it whilst being oblivious to its presence. Hopefully it is genuine and is refound although I so no evidence of rodents so cannot see that it will hang around one particular area for long. I have spent a lot of time trying to film Jack Snipe feeding but that has proven very difficult and merits its own post. A trip to Huk, Bygdøy revealed nothing unexpected except for a female Pintail feeding in the rock pools which rather surprisingly is my first record here. Three different female (but no male) Pintails have been seen in Oslo this winter – one at Østensjøvannet and upto two at Bestumkilen/Vækerø. In the last couple of weeks though only a single bird has been reported at Vækerø so whether the Huk bird was one of the other two or another bird is difficult to say. Maridalen on Wednesday after all the snow but before the rain the Pygmy Owl (spruveugle) has become more reliable again. Here it looks as though it is searching the ground for mice but otherwise it clearly had its eyes on birds at the feeding station one of upto three Water Rails (vannrikse) wintering in Oslo the open water that attracts Water Rails and snipe also often attracts Robins (rødstrupe) and Wrens the min cruise ferry from Kiel arriving in Oslo on Thursday morning as seen from Huk. Purple Sandpipers were on the rocks and a few Velvet Scoter and Eider were diving for food. The female Pintail can be seen swimming left the female Pintail (stjertand) feeding in the rock pools one of six Purple Sandpipers (fjæreplytt) the Pygmy Owl in Maridalen on Thursday. It is always easier to find it when it perches on top of a tree. Just after I took the picture it vanished but I then suddenly heard an explosion of noise from a flock of Long-tailed Tits that I had previously not been aware of so I assume it went for one of them Long-tailed Tit (stjertmeis) The sound of the small flock. They were still very excited a couple of minutes after they exploded into life and my continued "hunt" for a video of one of these feeding will get its own post sometime soon

As a teenager in the 1960s, I volunteered to help with the nascent Ontario Nest Records Scheme (ONRS) housed at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. The ONRS had begun life at the ROM in 1950s, based on the BTO’s very successful scheme begun in 1939. But the ONRS made little progress until it [...] The post Card-carrying Ornithologists appeared first on British Ornithologists' Union.
