I have shown some pictures and a video of a Little Ringed Plover nest. This nest was at Fornebu where a lot of praiseworthy wetland restoration work has been carried out (the term rewilding has been used to describe it including I think by me but I think that devalues that term and restoration is far more accurate). Ponds and scrapes have been dug but it is not here that the plovers have nested but rather than on one of the piles of mud that have been dumped on the edge of the reserve following the excavation of the scrapes. Following the young hatching though they have moved to one of the scrapes. Both parents shared in the incubation of the eggs and would alarm call when anyone walked too close to the nest. As the nest was less than 10 metres from an occasionally used path then this happened fairly often and the adults would also leave the nest. Too close approach would result in lots more calling, the arrival of the other adult and distraction displays. Once the four young hatched they stayed close to the nest for the first couple of days and would be frequently brooded by the female especially if there was a perceived danger (me). Distraction displays especially by the male increased in intensity and were interesting to observe. There were also clearly different calls from the adults (mostly from the female?) to the young which would tell them to freeze and lie on the ground, to come to her or to give the all clear that they could feed freely again. The parents seemed to be good at their job (better than the Lapwings in Maridalen) and there were still all four young a week after hatching by which time they had moved to one of the scrapes. They were only being guarded by one adult by then with the other adult not even arriving when the guarded adult called due to my presence. The adult would get agitated and call to the young and sometimes sit on them but no longer engaged in distraction displays. On 10th June they were being guarded by mum but on 12th by dad. A visit on the 16th revealed only a single feeding adult. Hopefully the young and the other adult have moved to a safe area that I couldn't find rather than a predator having taken the young. Footnote: 2 nearly fully grown young were seen and photograped on 2 July so the parents did a good job. 4 June - day eggs hatched a less than day old youngster and mum the nest with two young and an egg and the third young away from the nest. I saw no egg shells by the nest and do not know if the parents removed them a safe distance from the nest or perhaps ate them all three young back at the nest with the still unhatched egg 5 June - 1 day old a one day old Little Ringed Plover (dverglo) June 6 - 2 days old June 10 - 6 days old here the female was guarding the young and still brooded them when there was danger June 12 - 8 days old almost recognisable. The legs look fully grown already the male was guarding them all five birds

BirdLife Norges årsmøte for 2025 ble gjennomført i Troms 10. mai i år. Hovedsaken på møtet var behandling og vedtak av foreningens nye femårige strategi. Den ble vedtatt, stort sett enstemmig. Gjennomføringen starter nå.

BirdLife Nesna og omeng leverte sporenstreks politianmeldelsen etter at en sjokkerende video av ødeleggelse av en koloni med fiskemåker på Alti kjøpesenter i Sandnessjøen ble kjent. Nå er saken avgjort: En mann i 60-årene er dømt og har vedtatt et forelegg på 15.000 kroner for å ha påført hekkende måker unødig lidelse og skade.

Svaler er sommergjester fra Afrika, og tre ulike arter hekker i Norge: Låvesvale, sandsvale og taksvale. Alle tre har ulike drakter og tilholdssteder. Svalene våre har til og med ulike slektsnavn (Hirundo, Riparia og Delichon). I størrelse og proporsjoner er sandsvale og taksvale mest lik, men hva skiller og forener de to artene?
Today it was time again to go to Skarvsøen to do the CES ringing. So Hanelie and Pauline went out early to open the nets and Andrew and I joined for the first round. We rang 20 new birds today and caught...
For tredje år har vi i 2025 gennemført standardiseret tælling af forårstrækket ved Gedser Odde.
After many days with bad weather, we were finally able to ring again in Kabeltromlen and it was a great success! I got up around 4?am and made my way to the first net check, feeling both sleepy and excited....

Our summer holidays have moved on to Beitostølen and the mountains of Valdres. I have not birded that much with butterflies getting slightly more of my attention. Despite some periods with hot, sunny weather and an abundance of flowers there has not been an abundance of butterflies although there is the usual nice selection of species. I made a second trip to Vågåmo to look for Large Grizzled Skipper (alvesmyger) after drawing a blank on 7 June probably because they were not yet on the wing then. When I arrived it was windy and cloudy but the weather forecast promised me that the sun would shine and sure enough it eventually did and I found my target relatively easily in exactly the same area where I had seen normal Grizzled Skippers on 7 June. The Larger cousins were noticeably larger and one individual that I spent most time watching was the same size as Mazarine Blues (engblåvinge) and also flew in a manner more reminiscent of a Blue than a Skipper. I had 4 individuals a couple of which were laying eggs in a small roadside area which doesn’t look that remarkable and hopefully the species is more numerous and widespread than the only handfull of records every year suggest.

Bare snaue fem år har gått siden IOC World Bird List ble vedtatt som taksonomisk rettesnor for BirdLife Norge. Siden den gang har de ledende taksonomiske autoritetene, inkludert IOC, jobbet hardt for å samkjøre de til dels sprikende globale artslistene. Resultatet i form av AviList v2025 ble publisert forrige måned. BirdLife Norge følger fra og med 1. juli 2025 denne nye artslisten, så hva medfører det?

I løbet af sommeren taber titusinder af knopsvaner og grågæs i Danmark deres slidte fjer og er ude af stand til at flyve i omkring en måned. Fældningen finder sted i lavvandede danske områder med fred og føde på små holme eller øer. Snart vil nye fjer være vokset ud, og så vil fuglene kunne lette med friske bæredygtige svingfjer.
Yesterday evening we planned to go out to the beach in the morning to do some seawatching. So we had set out alarms for four. But I must have turned off my alarm and fell asleep again in the morning....
