The opening years of the 20th century were a hard time to be a bird. The Passenger Pigeon and Carolina Parakeet were already on a steep descent to extinction. Feathers, popular in the elaboration of...
Sunshine, 14C and no wind is fantastic weather for the middle of October but is much too nice for birding. All birds that were here seem to have migrated south and hardly anything new has taken their place with the exception of my first Waxwings of the autumn today which flew south over me in Maridalen. My hopes of finding a wing bar or two are fading big time and today I couldn’t even find a Chiffchaff. A confiding Three-toed Woodpecker livened up a mushroom picking trip on Sunday when we also found lots of funnel chanterelle (traktkanterell) so both me and Mrs OB were happy with the walk in the woods. Fornebu has only has a Jack Snipe to liven things up and in Maridalen the presence of two Whooper Swan families and an additional adult (or more likely a 2nd winter) is the only, and rather underwhelming, highlight. Jack Snipe (kvartbekkasin) Whooper Swans (sangsvane) in Maridalen. On the left is the family of 4 which must be the local breeding birds and on the right is a family of 5 with an additional older bird. This is the closest I have seen the two groups and I assume that the breeding pair have been their usual aggressive, territorial selves the family of 4 and the alert adult on the left which must be the male the family of 5 with the additional bird at the front the additional bird is not pure white and I don't think this is muck (although the bill looks to have mud on it) but rather a sign of immaturity. No young were raised last year in the Dale so if it a 2cy then it is from elsewhere but if it is a 3cy then it could be from the Dale as 3 young fledged

Norge har store havområder og rike vindressurser, og regjeringen har nylig gjennomført en offentlig høring av hvilke havvindområder som kan være aktuelle. Men havvind kan påføre betydelige skader, ikke bare til havs, men også på land. For sjøfuglene og naturmangfoldet kan dette få fatale konsekvenser. BirdLife Norge mener planene er problematisk.

It was an easy decision to go to Fornebu again this morning. The Turtle Dove wasn’t seen after 13:05 yesterday but I felt fairly confident that it would be back exactly where I found it yesterday and sure enough it was. There seem to be quite a lot of food (seeds) for it in the area and one can wonder how long it has been there, and how long it will stay. Other birders were clearly hoping it would be refound as a mini twitch quickly developed and everyone seemed happy 😊. Otherwise there were notably fewer birds today than yesterday and the Beardies seem to have quickly moved on. Turtle Dove (turteldue) well camouflaged
