There are at least 3 Pygmy Owls in Maridalen at the moment and on Sunday I finally got to see the one that everyone else is seeing (not that I haven’t tried) and in sunshine. It was clearly hunting for rodents and made one unsuccessful attempt to catch something. This is in contrast to previous years when the owls have been seen to catch many rodents in quick succession. There have been quite a few news articles about this being a rodent winter but it is clearly still quite local. Østensjøvannet proved to be half frozen today not that that really caused there to be much in the way of new birds although I did have a single Common Snipe and the Scaup was still present. A nice surprise at home was a flock of 29 Waxwings that briefly visited an apple tree that still has fruit on it. There are very few Waxwings around this winter but I had been counting on them visiting at least once. Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) a classic pose when it has heard something the female Pintail (stjertand) at Østensjøvannet was along with the Mallards clearly hoping I had food these two Goldeneyes (kvinand) with bills that are turning yellow must be young females good numbers of Herons (gråhegre) show there must also be a lot of fish the ice had concentrated all the remaining (9) Moorhens (sivhøne) and I assume now that all but one or two will move off over night this really is not a finch winter with seemingly no wintering birds other than resident birds. This (Lesser) Redpoll is a rare sight at the momemnt the Scaup (bergand) with a Tufted Duck (toppand) and 4 Wigeon (brunnakke) Waxwing (sidensvans) in the garden the Maridalen Marsh Tit (løvmeis) just look how much the appearance of a pale wing panel changes depending on angle and a Willow Tit (granmeis) where the pale wing panel is always obvious

The BOU Summer Placement Scheme provides financial support for undergraduate students to carry out small summer ornithological research projects. Here Anya Shackleton-Jones provides an account of her time in East Iceland. The post A Seabird Success Story? Temporal Monitoring of Kittiwakes and Fulmars in East Iceland appeared first on British Ornithologists' Union.
This morning it still seemed a bit too windy to ring, but Amira went out to Kabeltromlen anyway to check. She was only able to open a handful of nets, and after a little waiting to see if the wind would...

For første gang præsenterer vi nu resultater fra det tredje ben i Gedser Fuglestation trækovervågning: Fuglelydsregistrering med elektronisk lytteenhed (BirdWeather PUC)
17. nov. 2025 kl. 00:00
Siden maj 2025 har vi på Gedser Fuglestation døgnet rundt lavet elektronisk fuglelydsregistrering. Nu har vi sammenlignet resultater fra det lytteudstyr med resultater fra ringmærkning og træktælling. Lytteudstyret giver sammenlignelige resultater og 10% flere arter kan overvåges. Løsningen er nu sat i produktion som fuglestationens tredje ben i fugleovervågningen.
I efteråret 2024 mærkede danske ringmærkere ca. 20 solsorte med ICARUS-sendere. På Fyn mærkede vi 8 fugle, hvilket der kan læses mere om her. En af disse solsorte...

Today was another really lovely day of birdwatching in Skagen. The day started off quite windy, but Miles and I still cycled to Kabeltromlen to check if we could open any of the nets. We tried our best...
We have now had a few nights of frost and with very little wind and daytime temperatures also staying cold I visited Østensjøvannet expecting it to be mostly covered in ice. In fact the lake was ice free with just some ice on the edges although the wrongly named Wader Pond (just Pond would suffice) was frozen. I was a bit surprised that the first bird I saw was a Scaup as the bird I found on 3 Nov has not been reported since the 8th. This bird looked to be a 1cy male (a grey feather on the back and hint of green on the head) whereas the previous bird whilst being a 1cy had nothing in its plumage to suggest it was a male but upon looking at pictures I believe it is the same bird but that just come further in its post juvenile moult over the course of a week. I had been hoping for ice as I hoped this would have concentrated what ever birds were left (and also any new arrivals) but that should come some time next week as temperatures are still forecast to get colder. This will hopefully also push out some snipe which I was unable to find today. Yesterday I enjoyed close views of Red-throated Diver and a feeding Eider at Fornebu. The diver was showing unusually well and was in the same area on Sunday. Rather than being ill I think it is exploiting a food source. The Eider had caught a crab and I was able to watch it remove the legs by holding one leg at a time and shaking the crab until the leg was detached and the body fell into the water. This was done with each leg until there was just the body left which was swallowed after some careful manoeuvring to allow it to slide down. It impressive to think of the stomach acids it must have that will allow it process the crab. the female Eider (ærfugl) preparing a crab for lunch the video shows it removing the remaining legs and then eventually swallowing the body a confiding 1st winter juvenile/1st winter Red-throated Diver (smålom) a Razorbill (alke) getting ready to dive and the RtD with a Guillemot (lomvi) when the diver looks surprisingly small a young Scaup (bergand). The dark green colours coming through on the head plus a grey feather on the mantle show it to be a male And a video of the Treecreeper in Maridalen that likes searching for food on/in spruce cones and a comparison of the Maridalen Marsh Tit (løvmeis) and a Willow Tit (granmeis) in sunlight. Notice how the Marsh Tit seems to have a very pale wing panel... a feature that is commonly said to mean Willow

Yesterday it blew again from the south so I gave sea gazing a go again. Two young Little Gulls battling into the wind were my reward which I must admit was better than I had hoped for but otherwise there were no birds that seemed to have been blown in. I watched from Torkildstranda by Drøbak which allowed me to sit warm and dry (it was bucketing it down at times) in the car and may become my new go to sea gazing spot. In the video you will see the bird flying past a couple of windsurfers. When it blows around Oslo and you decide to sea faze you can almost guarantee that you will also see wind surfers but very few other people. Birds and wind surfers must be the only people who scour weather forecasts looking for storms. the first 1cy Little Gull (dvergmåke) the second and my sea gazing position The Pygmy Owl in Maridalen showed in the rain as it tried to shelter by the trunk of a tree. It was really wet and looked very unhappy with one eye open and the other closed. the damp Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) here using the flash which highlights how wet its head is very bedraggled Three videos - the first is a long edit of it in the rain and the other two short clips showing specific beahviour The Marsh Tit continues to show well and continues to do very little to give itself away. A hybrid was documented genetically (a world first!) on the other side of Oslo from 2020 - 2023 and I guess this bird could possibly also be a hybrid (based purely on it giving the species specific call so infrequently) but I see nothing in the plumage to suggest so. Marsh Tit is declining all around Oslo so the chance of hydridisation will probably increase if lone birds do not find a mate. In my previous post I wrote that the closest population to Oslo was in Lørenskog but no birds have actually been reported from here since 2018 illustrating the decline of the species. I keep attempting to take good comparison pictures of the two species and am perhaps getting slightly better at: both the Willow Tit (granmeis) on the left and the Marsh Tit (løvmeis) are nearly in focus although it would have been nice if both were in profile darn twig and if you can't get them right next to each other in the view finder there is always photoshop and the Marsh Tit on its own From next week we are forecast to have negative temperatures and perhaps snow which will hopefully shake up things on the bird front.

De senere uger er der i flere danske havne set søkonger på visit fra arktiske fuglefjelde. De små alkefugle er observeret i både sjællandske, fynske og jyske havne.
Den nordjyske ornitolog Einar Flensted-Jensen har i år haft ynglende hulduepar i 132 redekasser sat op i kommunale skove ved Frederikshavn og i den privatejede Børglumkloster Skov. Næsten 7 ud af 10 æg har resulteret i unger på vingerne. I alt er 713 unger fløjet fra redekasserne. Ynglesuccesen har aldrig været større hos de nordjyske hulduer. De flittigste syv ynglepar har hver især fostret hele seks kuld i år.
