In my last post on Hazel Grouse I wrote about how “my” reliable and easily accessible pair had vanished with my last sighting in the early spring of 2024. I have only visited the area a few times since then but have drawn a blank each time but have always had high hopes that I would find birds again as I consider the habitat to be absolutely perfect for the species. Getting a bit tired of searching for Jack Snipe and Pygmy Owl yesterdy I wanted a change of scenery and a walk in the forest and decided to head for the Hazel Grouse area. The forest is dead silent this winter with NO finches of any description and even tits are hard to come by. It therefore brought a huge smile to my face when I heard the thin whistle of a male HG. And it was in exactly the same trees where I have had many close encounters with “my” pair. With it being close to two years since my last sighting here I naturally assumed that this was a new pair that had taken over this prime piece of real estate but they were a very confiding pair allowing me to stand under them and noisily crunch around in the snow (this was behaviour that the previous pair displayed but which I do not otherwise associate with the generally shy species). I then checked my photos and the male lacks an obvious red eyebrow exactly as the previous male did and the female has a particularly dark throat as the previous female did. So, are they same birds that have just evaded me for all this time? Is one of them the same and has brought a new mate back to the territory or are they both new birds? I guess we can never know for sure but if they hang around through the spring then their behaviour and especially how close they allow me to approach will give some strong indications. Today, Thursday, I paid another visit and found the male feeding on the ground. He allowed such close approach that I am feeling quite confident that it is my boy. Most importantly it looks like I may be able to add Hazel Grouse back onto my list of highly likely species for guiding 😊 male Hazel Grouse (jerpe) and the female. Her dark throat can be seen better in the video below

Giftdøden blandt danske rovfugle fortsætter, uden at det endnu er lykkedes politiet at afsløre gerningsmændene bag de senere års tocifrede antal forgiftninger af ørne med insektgiften carbofuran. Senest er en havørn og en musvåge på Midtsjælland fundet døde efter at have ædt fjerkræ, der var lagt ud som forgiftet lokkemad. DOF BirdLife ser frem til, at en ny specialiseret politienhed til opklaring af natur-og faunakriminalitet kommer i funktion i 2026.

11. juli 2025 ble en krøllpelikan (Dalmatian Pelican, Pelecanus crispus) oppdaget på et skjær utenfor Hernyken på Røst. God fotodokumentasjon bekreftet at dette var samme individ som hadde turnert Sverige og Finland siden 9. juni.

I milde vintre er vandriksen rørsumpens og søbreddernes skjulte fugl, mens isfuglen er en sky spydfisker ved ferske vande. Når frosten lægger låg på sumpe og søer kommer de to reserverede arter mere frit frem. På DOFbasen kan man følge et stigende antal observationer af vandrikse og isfugl i disse uger.

This week hasn’t been so cold with temperatures around zero or just below but it has also been cloudy meaning it is dull whilst out birding and at night we have missed the fantastic show of Northern Lights that many others, and not least Jr in Tromsø, have seen. The Pygmy Owl has been quite easy to find every day except of course on Saturday when I was guiding. It often sits high and exposed before suddenly disappearing into woodland where it can then disappear for a couple of hours before popping up on a tree top again. I believe it is now eating the rodents and birds that it spent the autumn storing in nest boxes and old woodpecker holes and is catching little new food although I have seen it clearly looking for rodents. Water Rails have also showed well including a bird feeding very out in the open and Jack Snipe have bobbed away for Norway but bird, if not photo, of the week goes to a Greylag Goose flying north over Maridalen on Thursday. Quite where it thought it was going is a mystery to me and whilst it is the only Greylag reported in Oslo this winter I was a bit surprised that when I did see an anser goose that it was not a Tundra Bean or White-front a few of which have turned up further south as a result of cold weather movements around the North Sea. After having seen footprints and droppings in the snow for a few days it was also nice to see my first Moose of the winter in Maridalen. If the cold weather continues and especially if we get more snow then Moose should become quite reliable in the Dale. Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) on Tuesday changing angle - attempts at arty photos.. this female Teal (krikkand) is hanging out with the Mallards (stokkand) at Østensjøvannet but remains shy and doesn't come to bread so I wonder what she does eat the Pygmy Owl on Wednesday Water Rail feeding in the open bird of the week - a Greylag (grågås) heading north Moose And there will be lots more of this in a later post:
