In many towns east of the Rocky Mountains, the chattering calls of Chimney Swifts are as much a part of summer’s soundtrack as the cha-cha of sprinklers or ice cream truck jingles. Swifts cut a...

Kommunal- og distriktsdepartementet har godkjent reguleringsplanen for Norske Skog på Fiborgtangen i Levanger kommune. Vedtaket, som er endelig og ikke kan påklages, åpner for ny industriutvikling i området. BirdLife Norge er sjokkerte over avgjørelsen og holder Statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre ansvarlig for naturraseringen.
This morning, Rose and I went out to open the nets at Kabeltromle. We were joined by Markus for the first round. It was his first day in the ringing and he got to extract and ring his first birds. We did...
Ringmærkningen: Ringmærkningen har i dag været både rolig og hyggelig men også travl og interessant. Den standardiserede ringmærkning var især præget af både gærdesanger, havesanger og kærsanger....
Morgen observation: Det blæste idag kun to (!) meter i sekundet fra nordvest da vi satte os til rette de de sammenklappelige observationsstole. Ligesom jeg havde sat mig kom der en stor flok på 46 strand...
De næste måneder vil vi komme med en opsummering på hver måned der er gået. Alle er selvfølgelig velkomne til at følge med på bloggen, men ikke alle har tid til at kigge hver dag. Så her kommer der en opsummering på juli måned
I am currently in Tromsø where I am helping Jr settle into her new life as a student at the university here. Tromsø is a great town (to call it a city is rather overdoing it though and who ever came up with the description «Paris of the north» should take some time out from describing things) and we are currently enjoying very warm temperatures although in just a few months it will be all snow, darkness, hopefully northern lights and unavoidably thousands of foreign, mostly asian, tourists seeking these «exotic» delights. Now though this town which boasts the most northern football team, and now also McDonalds, in the whole, wide, world is full of nervous students about to start a new life, apprehensive parents, and yesterday the whole circus that accompanies professional cycling when the last stage of the Arctic Race of Norway was held here and myself and Jr managed to photobomb the winner interview, it was my birthday afterall🥳 I have only allowed myself a little birding and am only using the bus to get around but there is a lot of potential up here. Prestvannet, a small lake 10 minutes bus journey from downtown is a fantastic place with many breeding, and noisy, Red-throated Divers, a good variety of ducks, a few waders including Spot Red when I was there (and apparently lekking Ruff in May) and both Common and Arctic Terns. Tromsø is on an island and the surrounding fjord obviously has potential. By the airport there are some mudflats and here I had a good collection of waders including (distant) Red-necked Phalarope, Little Stint and Ruff. Turnstone also breed in the area and I look forward to seeing them next spring. There were hundreds of seaducks too far out for my bins to ID so I may have to bring my scope on future visits as there must be the chance for some interesting species. Downtown is full of breeding gulls with Kittiwakes nesting on window ledges, signs and more recently especially built «hotels» which allows incredibly close contact with these birds and their nests. Common and Herring Gulls are also common urban breeders and I have never seen such a concentration and variety of urban breeding gulls before. Prestvannet A Spotted Redshank (sotsnipe) Red-throated Diver (smålom) with a surprisingly small young. Others were nearly fully grown This Common Gull (fiskemåke) was ringed here as an adult in August 2018. In Feb 2022 it was in Hull, UK This bird was ringed here as an adult in August 2010 and has been seen regularly but only in Tromsø Langnes near the airport where I searched for waders A young Ruff (brushane) An Arctic Tern (rødnebbterne) that clearly had young nearby as it was very unhappy with my presence A Sedge Warbler (sivsanger) My first Little Stints (dvergsnipe) of the year Adult and juvenile Redshank (rødstilk) Oystercatchers (tjeld) Whilst many young Common Gulls were already fledged this youngster still has a number of weeks before independence This Meadow Pipit (heipiplerke) was still feeding young The Kittiwake (krykkje) hotel I haven’t yet managed to find out any information about this ringing scheme. It doesn’t cease to amaze me that colour ringing schemes can be so hard to work out - surely you only colour ringing schemes can because you want to get reports of observations The Arctic Race of Norway

Stork er en meget sjelden art i Norge. Stor var derfor overraskelsen da en flokk på 64 storker dukket opp i Orkland i Trøndelag søndag 10. august. Fuglene var utstyrt med stålringer og fargeringer, som viste at de har sin opprinnelse fra det svenske storkprosjektet.
Førend vi når til dagens begivenheder, vil jeg lige slå et slag for Kiesé og Cora?s succesfulde natfangst i går. Efter solnedgang begav de sig ud på en runde om Grenen, hvor det, ved brug af den...
Ringmærkningen: Svag nordvestenvind er lidt en joker hernede. Fuglene vil naturligt blive presset mod Gedser, men det er selvfølgelig ikke det eneste kriterie for en god dag. Da fuglene skal flyve et...

Morgen observation: En dejlig lun morgen med 15 graders varme og kun fem sekundmeter fra vest gav roligt vejr til obs, men desværre utroligt få fugle. Endnu en smuk morgen i Blaavand. Morgenen startede...

Ringmærkning: Today was THE day. Low winds, clear sky all night with a full moon shining should have been perfect conditions for birds to migrate and for us to catch them in the morning. I am not sure...
