Guess who’s back? - and not a butterfly in sight! 😊 Autumn is really upon us and the cereal fields in Maridalen are being harvested as we speak. This always causes the first flocks of Meadow Pipits to appear and there is also a big flock of Greylag Geese so it is nice and birdy. A fine 1st year male Bluethroat was today’s bird of the day but not quite as good as a Kingfisher on Wednesday and there are also good numbers of Whinchats, Nutcrackers flying back and forth from the city where they are collecting Hazel nuts and raptors to see including Honey Buzzards and Hobbies. Yesterday I needed to go to the airport to pick someone up so made a day of it with a stop at Svellet and then a look for the Taiga Bean Geese which have already been seen. I failed to find the geese and with no GPS tags still functioning it has become a bit more hit and miss especially in the autumn when they do not use the river. I did find feathers and droppings at a favoured loafing site so can personally confirm their return Svellet gave me my first Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper of the year but I am till missing three common waders for my year list – Grey Plover, Sanderling and Great Snipe – and fear there is a real risk they remain as absentees. If my photos are looking even worse than usual then it is because the bazooka has now gone into complete lock down and I cannot get any life out of it so all pictures are with the superzoom which itself is suffering with age. Bluethroat (blåstrupe) in Maridalen. The colourful throat shows it to be a male and the wing bar shows it to be a bird of the year Whinchat (buskskvett) and Meadow Pipit (heipiplerke) very typical birds for the end of August although this Whitethroat (tornsanger) is getting a bit late spot the Kingfisher (isfugl)? a bit easier here some of the Greylag Geese (grågås) and a Whooper Swan (sangsvane) A video of a Mink eating a Crayfish and you can see the remains of many others. Otters have recently been seen in Maridalen and if they establish themselves then they will hopefully result in a reduction in Mink numbers and a Grass Snake that I nearly stood on

Ved Skørsnøse på Filefjell i Vang kommune har et hubropar holdt til i minst 50 år, trolig langt lengre. Nye utbyggingsplaner med gondolbane og økt hyttebygging kan få alvorlige konsekvenser for både hubroen og naturen som helhet, og BirdLife Norge slår alarm!
