Ask someone to name an orange bird, and they're more than likely going to say an oriole. That, of course, would be a good answer: Of the seven native species of orioles you can regularly see in the...

Stormen Amy satte sitt preg på naturen på Brunlaneshalvøya i Larvik. Vindfall lå overalt, men stormen brakte også med seg noe annet enn ødeleggelser. Den nordamerikanske spurvefuglarten møllparula ble fraktet over Atlanterhavet av stormen, og havnet i nettmaskene ved Mølen Ornitologiske Stasjon! Dette er første funn av arten i Norge og Skandinavia.

Let me give you a staggering and sobering number: Since 1970, 2.9 billion birds have disappeared from North America. Yes, you read that correctly. Almost 25% of the total number of birds have vanished in less than a single lifetime. And it’s not just rare birds whose numbers are down. Most of our common and...

Today, I want to introduce you to the Scarlet Tanager. Many people find it surprising that these BEAUTIFUL birds spend their summers breeding in North America. Once the weather starts to turn cooler, they migrate thousands of miles to Central and South America to spend the winter. During these winter months, Scarlet Tanagers commonly live on or...

Cloudless nights mean that there are fewer and fewer birds every day, or at least that is how it seems. Encounters with Jack Snipe, Bearded Tit and Siberian tristis Chiffchaffs have been the highlights of the last few days as a wing bar or two continues to elude me. Singe pairs of Bearded Tits are in two reedbeds at Fornebu but are for the most past very low down and are I believe still feeding on insects. They call loudly only very occasionally and it seems to be when they have lost contact with each other. Today I had a pair feeding in reeds just 3-4 metres from me for a good 15 minutes and it was possible to hear very, very quiet calls which I assume were to make sure they stayed together but they were incredibly difficult to see until they perched on a reed just over the ground for a couple of minutes and preened. They were only two metres away but were almost impossible to see let alone photograph. I have had upto two Jack Snipe but lack of observations from day to day suggests to me that these are new birds that are moving through and just stopping for a day before continuing. My best views of Beardies were on Wednesday when there was thick fog a Jack Snipe (kvartbekkasin) in the open droppings and bill marks in mud are a good sign that snipe are around this Jack was much better hidden. Can you see him? should be easier in this picture there are a lot of Long-tailed Tits (stjertmeis) around this autumn and flocks move through very quickly a ringed Siberian tristis Chiffchaff at Fornebu yesterday. A quite classic individual that was also heard calling it was together with this unblinged bird the lone 1cy Whooper Swan (sangsvane) is still at Fornebu. It loosely associates with Mute Swans but is often alone And a trip to Østensjøvannet gave some photographic birds male Mallard (stokkand) young Moorhen (sivhøne) female Pintail (stjertand) Shoveler (skjeand) side by side with a Mallard and a late Adder (hoggorm). This was very small and I believe hatched this year

BirdLife Norge ønsker et forbud mot nedbygging av myr velkommen. Myr er avgjørende for klima, naturmangfold og økosystemtjenester, og et tydelig forbud er et lenge etterspurt grep for å sikre disse verdifulle naturressursene. Etter et katastrofalt dårlig forslag fra regjeringen, jobber vi nå for en forbedring, slik at forbudet skal bli så sterkt som mulig.
Norges Vassdrags- og Energidirektorat (NVE) og Smøla kommune har mottatt kombinert melding og planprogram fra Statkraft Energi AS (Statkraft) om fornyelse av konsesjon for Smøla vindkraftverk på Møre-kysten. BirdLife Norge går tydelig mot både områderegulering og konsesjon for vindkraftverket, og krever at dagens Smøla vindpark legges ned og at området restaureres.
