Migration seems to have been put on pause again and with sun, blue skies and temperatures quickly reaching 20C it can feel quiet birdless at times which is strange for the first week of May. Butterflies like it though and I am now up to 7 species this year. New species trickle in though. Yesterday Oslo #150 was added from my bed when a Lesser Whitethroat sang in the garden and then in Maridalen #151 was added with Wood Warbler. No new Oslo species today but a Red-backed Shrike at Nordre Øyeren was my earliest ever and a Thrush Nightingale was singing from leave less bushes and was unusually easy to see (hearing it is never a problem). The male Three-toed Woodpecker was singing in the middle of the hot afternoon yesterday which is rather strange and I did not see the female. Today I saw neither bird and wonder whether something has gone wrong with (female predated?). The male and a male Great Spotted Woodpecker had a territorial fight though which was interesting to see. Previously these two species seem to, surprisingly, have coexisted in the same wood without any agro. An update on the swan drama is that the Whoopers are still on the (Mute) nest and the new pair of Mute Swans were displaying today and chasing off Greylags so maybe they will make a nesting attempt. Sunday’s weather forecast suggests southerly winds and rain in what is otherwise a period of dry sunny weather. If we are going to have a god day this May then I think it will be then. Thrush Nightingale (nattergal). I don't think I've seen one this well before my earliest ever Red-backed Shrike (tornskate) territorial Great Spotted (flaggspett) and Three-toed Woodpeckers (tretåspett) it was the Three-toed who went after the GS but the GS had the upper hand Buzzard (musvåk) in Maridalen a White Wagtail (linerle) was not happy with it flying so low over the fields I checked Maridalen's Goshawk (hønsehauk) nests and both had sitting birds the remains of a male Mallard (stokkand) were on a plucking post close to one of the nests three male Whinchats (buskskvett) in a row in Maridalen a pair of Wrynecks (vendehals) and a lone male are singing close to each other. This was the female from the pair my first Peacock (dagpåfugløye) and a Camberwell Beauty (sørgekåpe) a toad (padde) and Grass Snakes (buorm). I have loads of footage which will have to be shown in a separate post

BirdLife Norge arrangerte nylig sin årsmøtehelg på Lindesnes Havhotell i Agder. Et rekordstort antall deltakere var påmeldt til årsmøtet, og mange lot seg motivere av et solid faglig program samt ekskursjoner til Lindesnes fyr, Kjerkevågen og Lista. Et besøk til den undersjøiske restauranten Under ble en unik opplevelse!

Motorveiprosjektet E16 og Ringeriksbanen ble planlagt som et felles prosjekt, men planene for Ringeriksbanen er satt på vent. Motorveien derimot, ligger inne i forslaget til den nasjonale transportplanen, og attpåtil i den traséløsning laget for fellesprosjektet. BirdLife Norge har i en årrekke jobbet mot inngrepene som vil gå utover våtmark i Tyrifjorden våtmarkssystem og beslaglegge mye matjord, og nå mobiliserer vi igjen.

Birds that swoop or dart to catch bugs in flight are called aerial insectivores—and they need your help.
So, I know I set my expectations (or should that be ambitions) for 1st May very high but even with low ambitions the early start in Maridalen could not be considered a success. I was there by 05:40 which was later than I had planned but there was just nothing moving in the air or anything new on the lake except for a small increase in the number of Tufted Ducks and a new pair of Mute Swans. There was a very weak wind from the north but it was relatively warm (7C when I drove in and reaching over 20C by the late afternoon). It was almost impossible to understand why there was so little to see. After an hour I was ready to move on, either to Svellet or even perhaps just go home and have breakfast. But then.. Bjørn Olav had found a singing! Hoopoe at Fornebu. I was down there in a flash and actually proved to be the twitchiest person out there only to find out that Bjørn hadn’t seen it for 20 minutes. I went looking though and 5 minutes later refound it and most importantly heard it. It is years (decades?) since I have heard one sing and what struck me most is how similar it is to the song of Tengmalm’s Owl. If I had just heard it early in the morning then I think I would have started out looking for a small owl rather than an exotic guest. One can wonder if it was the same bird seen here last year. It is also lacking a tail which may mean it is more likely to hang around. I foolishly decided to leave Fornebu after an hour believing that Maridalen would have now warmed up only to find out that I missed a Great White Egret… But if Fornebu could attract such good bird surely there was something to be found in Maridalen. Unfortunately not, and you may say unbelievably so, although Wood Sandpiper was new, Oslo #149, following a Common Tern, #148, that I got after leaving Fornebu. The video has it singing and note how it throws its head forward Hoopoe (hærfugl) missing its tail first Wood Sandpiper (grønnstilk) always good to see some Beaver at sunrise a Fornebu tick Gadwall (snadderand)!
