Rest, they say, is only for the wicked and this bank holiday has seen me guiding for southern Norway’s best birds which at the moment primarily means owls. I have spent three long, tiring, but very fun, and rewarding days with Graham and Marcus Workman where were have seen Great Grey, Ural and Tegnmalm’s Owls, Black Woodpecker, Wryneck, Common Rosefinch, Icterine and Wood Warblers, Slavonian Grebe, Moose, Capercaille and so much more. The Great Grey and Ural were rated as their best birding experiences ever and I couldn’t possibly disagree with that. All the birds that I have been monitoring and checking in on this spring were present and correct and showed impeccably well with my only complaint to the Bird Gods being that the two singing Common Rosefinch that we found were boring brown 2cy males instead of the bright red older males that give them their name. It was only me complaining though☺️ I don’t have the time to write any more as I need to allow myself a rest as I am guiding again tomorrow and most of next week. I’ll just let the photos and video do the talking - it truly has been a great weekend! This explains the Golden Bread reference. When Norwegian birders celebrate a lifer it is a tradition to celebrate with a Gullbrød (gold bread). This chocolate covered bar of marsipan is not to my personal liking but Graham and Marcus were keen to join the tradition. Here they are celebrating GGO which was lifer #1 but there were at least 3 more after that my footage from the weekend pales into comparison with what these two got. Graham had a top of the range Nikon set up but Marcus was just using an iphone 11 (the same as me) with an adapter on a Kowa scope and was taking fantastic videos and stills. I hope to link to their work later once they are home and have published it. And I think I will be getting an adapter - will sure be cheaper than buying a new camera and lens that I rather desperately need and to be honest may give better results Great Grey Owl (lappugle) - this is the "hissig" female and as usual she greeted us by bill snapping and this time growling long before we could see her. Again she was perched in a tree when we arrived but then flew onto the nesting platform so presumably has eggs but once again I can only say that her behaviour is not normal Ural Owl (slagugle) presumed female. We glimpsed the furry tops of the heads of probably two young in the hole of the nest box and the male was also in the area it was a joy to see this young Tengmalm's Owl (perleugle) who was looking out at dusk of his own accord (i.e no need for my poor trunk scratching to be put to the test). I reckon it was going to leave the box that same night This sequence from the Black Woodpecker nests shows first from the nest with the three young where both parents came into feed at the same time but only after we had waited for close to an hour and a half... Our presence clearly affected the behaviour of the parents though and we had to move further back before they came in and fed the young. The sequence in the video where it almost looks like they are engaged in ritual courtship is how they were acting when they did not dare to go the nest (i.e before we moved away). Right at the end is the female in the other nest where excavation seems to be over and hopefully egg laying has begun. As they are a good month later than normal it will be interesting to see if they succesfully fledge young. male Black Woodpecker (svartspett) and young Slavonian Grebes (horndykker): I also had a chance to check the second Ural Owl nest box and here the female was sat high so I reckon has newly hatched young but is around two weeks behind the other pair

Maridalsvannet on the morning of 20th May In Oslo it seems as though migration has come to end with rain and southerly winds causing absolutely nothing exciting to turn up. Svellet also still has mud but without there being a single wader reported this morning. Even though the period of quantity of passage birds has passed we are definitely entering the highest quality time and yesterday a stonking male Black-headed Bunting was pulled out of a mist nest in the garden of a twitcher who I had no idea had a ringers licence. Almost all breeding migrants have now turned up with the first Rosefinches, Red-backed Shrikes, Marsh Warblers and Nightjars being reported now even if I have yet to see any of them yet. My focus has now turned to locating breeding birds both for my own benefit and also a busy period of guiding that I have coming up. Hazel Grouse has been a real nightmare this spring. A long walk on 17 May with Mrs OB and The Beast took me past 8 or 9 territories where I have previously had the species but with not a single bird being found. Today I checked 3 territories in another area including “my pair” and did finally pull a bird out of the hat which I feel confident of being able to find again. Three-toed Woodpecker has also been a headache this year so a female that gave herself away tapping on a tree was a relief but she flew off without me being able to track her to a nest. The two pairs of Black Woodpeckers continue to entertain with the one pair still applying the finishing interior design touches to their property and the other pair working hard to fill three noisy mouths with food. In this video you can see the male using over a minute and a half to feed them individually with food he is clearly regurgitating into his bill. the male Black Woodpecker (svartspett) that is still putting the finishing touches to his property and two of the three young in the other nest which is at a far more expected stage Hobby (lerkefalk) today. I have only seen a single bird and heard no calling so do not believe a pair has returned yet Black-throated Divers (storlom) I watched a Wood Warbler (bøksanger) with nesting material in its beak fly onto the ground here. Can you spot the nest? here it is and is of a similar construction to Willow Warbler (løvsanger) and Chiffchaff (gransanger) nests I have previously found On the Lapwing front there are still two birds incubating and seemingly three broods of 4,1 and 1. With the two broods of single young the siblings were lost very early on but the remaining young are now half grown and will hopefully make it. The brood of 4 is a few days younger but the parents have done very well to still have all four alive.
