As is typical after guiding, the species that were difficult to find have served themselves up on a silver plater in the following days….😂 A male Three-toed Woodpecker has showed exceptionally well in Maridalen in a small area of flooded forest with dead trees well away from the species normal areas and the exact area we checked unsuccesfully on Saturday for Black Woodpecker (and had no other ‘peckers either). And Black ‘pecker which was our most striking miss at the weekend has of course also shown well…. Pygmy Owls have just been waiting for me on roadside trees and two in a day was so noteworthy that it required a comment on eBird (our local reviewer is a meticulous young man😉). A visit to the Hazel Grouse saw me heading straight for where we had the male on Saturday and what do you know - he was in exactly the same tree and I only used 10 minutes from leaving the car to see him rather than nearly 2 hours. He was high up in an alder tree but I was able to clamber up a slope and see him nearly at eye level for a long period of time. Two different Marsh Tits still in Maridalen maintain the hope of the species establishing itself although they are not a pair and one of them is the (mostly) silent bird which always is hanging with Willow Tits and which best case has an identity crisis and worst case may be a hybrid. The other bird loves to call and is either on its own (although earlier there were two vocal birds together) or with Blue Tits. Jack and I visited Owl Road last night in glorious positions - a cloudless starry night sky, -16C, no wind and even a tiny slither of a moon. Three Tengmalm’s Owls meant a 200% increase on 9 days earlier but we had no other owls (it was the same date last year when I showed Jack his very firstGGO). The sun has been shining but temperatures remain a long way south of zero so early spring migrants are still to arrive but from the middle of next week we are forecast to have temperatures above zero and some rain. This will probably be all that is needed for the first geese, Snow Buntings, Skylarks or Starlings to show up if there are suddenly snow free flecks on the fields. only three toes the rings on this tree suggest that a Three-toed has been in this area quite a while... Moose have also showed well but were absent at the weekend Pygmy Owl in the snow I attempted some flight shots and nearly succeeded in a sharp shot my Hazel Grouse (jerpe) photos were nothing special but I am happy with the videos which have him singing and eating snow singing owling on Owl Road and Pygmy Owling in Maridalen with the bird on top of the highest spruce I then had a very nice photo shoot with him or perhaps her and a Robin (rødstrupe) in the snow and these little beauties are still giving of themselves

Erfarne ornitologer og ørneeksperter vil søndag 22. februar på 24 lokaliteter landet over stå klar til at fortælle danskerne om Nordeuropas største rovfugle, havørnen og kongeørnen. Efter mange uger med sne og kulde er der udsigt til plusgrader på Ørnens Dag. DOF BirdLife krydser fingre for klart vejr og for alt i verden ikke tåge og dis. Hvis ørnevejret ellers arter sig, vil der være garanti for havørne på himlen de fleste steder.

BirdLife Norge har levert forhåndsinnspill til Miljødirektoratets arbeid med revidering av forskrift om jakt- og fangsttider. I en tid med dokumentert naturkrise kan ikke jaktforvaltningen styres av tradisjon og rekreasjon, den må bygge på føre-var-prinsippet og en helhetlig forståelse av økosystemene.
Nu blændes der op for DOF BirdLifes ØrneTV, der har Nordeuropas største rovfugle i hovedrollerne. Ørnehannen har netop friet med en gren til redebyggeriet, og hunnen har taget godt imod gaven. DOF BirdLifes Projekt Ørn har ligesom de foregående år helgarderet ved at sætte to web-kameraer op, så der kan komme billeder, uanset hvilken af to reder ørnene må vælge til deres familieliv.

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...
