Back in Oslo I am now getting tired of winter. We have had one of the longest cold spells in Oslo for many, many years and there is no indication of it stopping. Temperatures have not risen above zero since 20 Jan and since 1 Jan we have only had plus temperatures on 16 – 19 Jan. Although I always say that I like “proper” seasons it does get a bit boring when nothing changes. One possible upside from this long winter is that we will get a much more noticeable beginning to spring migration when the thaw finally comes. One thing for sure is that we will not be seeing an early arrival of the Taiga Beans this year. On Tuesday I had my first owling trip of the year, a year and a day since the first trip of 2024 which produced 11 singing Tengmalm’s. Owling conditions were good with no wind and temperatures of -14C but there was no moon which may or may not (depending on who you speak to) be an important factor. The result of the evenings endeavour’s was just a single Tengmalm’s which sang constantly and could be heard at over 2km range but which was not close to the road. It is still early in the spring but this disappointing result is I believe due to a collapse in the rodent population but there is still time for things to change and there are always local variations. In Maridalen I have seen Pygmy Owls in three different locations over the last three days and all sat high and were easy to see which is how it should be. I am guiding this weekend and on Sunday we will drive up to the taiga areas in Hedmark with the hope of Hawkie, Piney and Sibe Jay. It is forecast to be sunny with little wind but very cold but these should be good conditions. I have had a chance to go through my Tromsø pictures on the computer so present a few more here. a close Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) Moose are becoming easier to see in Maridalen but luck is still needed the Østensjøvannet Water Rails (vannrikse) have not been that easy to see so far this winter but this one showed well Common Eiders (ærfugl) in Tromsø a Queen Eider (praktærfugl) with her Common cousinns from the left: female Common Eider, 2 different looking Queens, a young male Common and an adult male Common Jack and co. are still going strong
Nettene var fuldstændigt frosset til med is, så vi brugte 1,5 time på at få tøet dem op. Vi fik lagt en bunke æbler ud og der var virkelig god fart på især sjagger i dag, og hele 24 blev ringmærket. Med...

Når miljøkriminalitet får utspille seg fritt over store naturområder, rammer det både tilliten i samfunnet og troen på at lover faktisk håndheves. Strenge straffer har liten effekt dersom risikoen for å bli oppdaget er lav. Derfor er effektiv kontroll avgjørende for både etterlevelse og tillit i samfunnet.
Forskning fra Sørlandet dokumenterer effekten av sjøfuglvern i en tid der bestandene er i kraftig tilbakegang. Resultatene viser at ferdselsrestriksjoner i hekketiden bedrer vilkårene for gråmåke, samtidig som de avdekker behovet for flere tiltak for å sikre bestandene på lang sikt.

Our first mid winter trip to Tromsø has been a resounding success. We arrived at the end of Sami Week, an annual celebration of all things Sami, and got to see the Norwegian Championships in both lasso throwing and Reindeer racing. The reindeer racing happened on a snow lined downtown street on a 201m course. It was explained that 201m is the internationally defined distance for the sport but no explanation was given for why☺️. A skier holds on to the reins whilst the animal runs and covers the distance in around 17 seconds. It all looked great fun although the animals didn’t exactly look thrilled whilst being harnessed up. Animal welfare was not mentioned once.. The Northern Lights also put on a show and this is one of the main reasons the City has become such a popular winter tourist destination and the streets were heaving with winter clothed tourists from ever corner of the globe. This tourism results in hotel prices going through the roof and rented accommodation being used for Air BnB rather than for locals or students who need it and is causing quite a lot of resentment among many natives. I put on a «show» for the 100 or so students in Junior’s 8 storey high student block when whilst making food I slightly burnt some mince causing the smoke alarm to go off and the whole building to be evacuated. The fire brigade arrived within 10 minutes and were very good about it - I even think they were grateful to me for being given something to do on an otherwise boring Sunday evening ☺️ But what about the birds I hear you say. Well, they were tip top super. King Eiders and an adult Iceland Gull topped the bill and all seen whilst walking from Junior’s into town. Passerines are of course going to be in short supply in winter this far north but an abundance of rowan berries resulted in small flocks of Waxwing and and most surprisingly a Redwing which would be an exceptional mid winter sight even in Oslo. The trusted superzoom and mobile phone resulted in the following documentation of the delights of Tromsø (this is done at the airport and I may come with some better edited photos later): King Eider (praktærfugl) pair Adult Iceland Gull (grønnlandsmåke) Fieldfare (gråtrost) Redwing (rødvingetrost) I saw no divers in the field but this Yellow-billed was in Tromsø Museum Where I also had my best ever «views» of a Gyr Falcon (Jaktfalk) According to accepted Norwegian birding wisdom Shags (toppskarv) never perch like this… Purple Sandpiper (fjæreplytt) Herons have been roosting in the heronry trees by Junior’s flat all winter and they were present and noisy when we were there A close male Long-tailed Duck (havelle)

Østhimmerland og Sydøstvendsyssel i Nordjylland er kerneområder for den danske ynglebestand af kongeørn. I 2025 var der syv etablerede kongeørnepar i dette område. Den sydøstlige del af Danmark huser i reglen primært unge kongeørn på besøg fra den svenske bestand.
