This weekends guiding had me praying to the Bird Gods and wondering what I had done to displease them before eventually being giving their slightly limited blessing. Martyn, Jo and Stella had come to Oslo to see our special winter birds and especially Hawk Owl and I was determined they would leave happy. On Saturday the target was the specialities of Maridalen and surrounding forests and on Sunday it was the taiga areas of Hedmark. Saturday was sunny, windless and cold with temperatures down to -20C in the forest and on Sunday it was forecast to be same but ended up being cloudy with occasional snow and temperatures down to -23C. We experienced near white out conditions a couple of times when we were in low cloud and whilst cool to experience it was not the best conditions for finding birds. On Saturday the targets were Hazel Grouse, Pygmy Owl and interesting woodpeckers. Haze Grouse took an hour and a half and just as we were about to head back to the car empty handed I had one last attempt and finally a bird sang. It then took another 15 minutes to find the bird but it then sat directly above us in a tree and was so unaffected by our presence that it never even looked down at us. Otherwise, the forest was very quiet with no peckers of any type. Maridalen gave us Crested and Willow Tits, Goshawk, Dipper and Hawfinch and eventually Pygmy Owl which showed very well but far too briefly. So, the two main targets were delivered but peckers disappointed. Sunday we had a two hour drive to the taiga and I kept hoping the forecast sun would appear the further north we drove but instead we just saw lower and lower cloud. The forests were covered in thick snow but where were the birds?!? We slowly drove the forest roads for over 4 hours and saw only 11 species and only around 40 individual birds of which Bullfinches made up half of these…. For a long time a female Capercaille was the top bird before a Three-toed ‘pecker gave itself up but far too briefly and partly made up for the lack of peckers the day before but we still failed to see a Black. But where the taiga species? Hawk Owl (which was the #1 priority for the whole weekend, Pine Grosbeak and Sibe Jay? People were dozing off in the car but I was still searching for a lump on a tree top and FINALLY a Hawk Owl gave itself up. Only 30 metres from the road it showed just long enough for me to set up the scope so its yellow eyes could be studied before stooping down and never reappearing. That was the last bird we saw in the forest and a fitting end to the trip but I would have liked to be able to find Grosbeak and Sibe Jay. It wasn’t through lack of trying and f the sun had been shining then I think we would have had more birds perching on tree tops but we play with the cards we are dealt with. Pictures were not my priority but here is a flavour of the weekend. watching Hawkie can you spot him? a bit more recognisable here the football in a tree is "my" Hazel Grouse very close but he never lifted his head and looked at us! female Capercaille (storfugl) Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) and a Three-toed 'pecker leaving stage right

Trækfuglene kommer tidligere om foråret. Nogle bliver her længere om efteråret. Andre trækker tidligere sydpå. Er der sket noget tilsvarende med sangperioden året igennem?
Da jeg stod op var der næsten 5 graders frost, men den steg ret hurtigt og da nettene kom op var der -2. Den kraftige kulde har vist fået fuglene til at trække væk for haven var godt tom for drosler...

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.
