The days are sunny and hot with temperatures over 20C but a constant northerly wind is not conducive to very much at all. Water levels have fallen a few centimetres at Svellet which should improve conditions as there are still lots of dry mud and the falling water levels should reveal more food rich areas. A visit this morning revealed just 3 Oystercatcher though… The falling water levels in Maridalen have paid dividends though with a flock of 5 Temminck’s Stints. This is the classic time to find them on migration in Oslo but they are far from annual. Can I hope for a Broad-billed Sand? The muddy edges are also good for the Lapwings as they provide much better feeding opportunities than the bone dry fields. They have also created new nesting opportunities and the male of the pair that has been at Kirkeby was performing his nest scraping display this morning with the female watching on. The other three pairs are still sitting (and the fifth pair still may or may not have young). Nest #2 has been occupied since at least 10 April and with an incubation period of around 28 days the young should have hatched over a week ago. I initially thought the nest was abandoned after the ploughing but saw a bird sitting again after a couple of days and then thought that for a couple of days I had just been unlucky to be checking on them at times when the parents were away from the nest. Maybe though the nest was ruined and they relaid very quickly in the same place whereas the other pair chose a new site and waited over a week. As usual time will tell. Temminck's Stint all 5. At the end of the video you also see them with a Greenfinch which shows just how small they are this Hen Harrier (myrhauk) at Årnestangen could have been something even rarer but was an exciting sight. An adult female I believe

Today was another windy day where we couldn?t open nets for ringing again. We went to do observations at world?s end 1 again where it was warmer today than it had been the last few days. Migration...

The last week hasn’t just been about big owls and rare waders. I have continued visiting Svellet and Nordre Øyeren but despite continued low water levels there have been surprisingly few waders with now zero Wood Sandpipers!!! Water levels are now rising about 10cm a day so the mud at the edges probably just has no food in it. Also with spring having come early and no rain to force birds down many birds are probably also flying directly to their breeding sites. The first Temminck’s Stint and Dunlins have turned up though and Redshank have become the commonest wader. Yesterday, I had my first visit of the year to the islands and a 2nd summer Little Gull on Gressholmen was a real highlight and gave much better views than the birds in Svellet last week. when I first saw this gull with an extensive black hood, red legs, a pink wash on the breast and black in the wing tips I thought I had found an adult Bonaparte's Gull. A check in the scope though showed it was "just" a 2nd summer Little Gull. and comparison the views that I managed at Svellet last week where I must admit to being quite chuffed that I actually got a photo which shows both an adult and a 1st summer. This video gives an idea of the viewing conditions at Svellet: A Redshank (rødstilk) at Gressholmen was the only migrant wader and for me this has been an awful spring for waders in Oslo with me still not having seen Greenshank or Whimbrel. Water levels are finally falling at Maridalsvannet revealing some muddy edges but I fear it is too little too late Thrush Nightingale (nattergal) on Gressholmen in exactly the same place as they bred last year so presumably the same male there were quite a few young birds to be seen on the islands including the first Black-headed Gulls (hettemåke) with three young visible top left this must be one of the larger BhG colonies left in the Oslo area at Østensjøvannet which used to hold many hundreds if not thousands of pairs of nesting Black-headed Gulls I could only find 7 occupied nests today with five in this tree. The especially maintained islands that they used to use are now empty this colour ringed BhG at Østensjøvannet received its bling at Bowness-on-Windermere in the UK in December 2019 and has subsequently been resighted there every winter and in Oslo in the summers Eiders (ærfugl) have had young very early this year. Normally the adult males would have moved off but here they were displaying to the females A Dunlin (myrsnipe) and Redshank (rødstilk) at Årnestangen in the same place where I found the dowitcher and my first Temminck's Stint of the year also at Årnestangen it is not easy being a breeding Ringed Plover (sandlo) in the Oslo area. This bird at Fornebu had chosen a fenced off area away from human disturbance and has hopefully been succesful. This picture was taken just a few days before the young should have hatched and a visit a week later revealed no birds at all which hopefully means they have led the young somewhere even safter when on the islands a Ringed Plover flew up in front of me and I saw that it had flown up from a nest which contained 3 eggs hopefully they will be successfull in Maridalen there is now a third Lapwing nest. This is one of the pairs that lost their nest to the plough relaying. I still think that the other pair that seemed to lose their nest may actually have young in the long grass although I have yet to see them. A fourth pair is now hanging out at Kirkeby and will hopefully nest there the Long-tailed Tit (stjertmeis) nest that I found had an adult in it on 8 May and I assumed it was incubating. However subsequent sightings mean she was most likely brooding.. as on 13 May the young were being fed by both parents at the opening to the nest. This must be very early water levels at Svellet are rising by 10cm every day and the party is ending this is how it looked on Tuesday 13 May when I last visited and as can be seen on the graph water levels have risen more than 20cm since then which probably means most of the mud is now under water and the view to the south

The Killing 3.0! Navnet høres kanskje ut som tittelen på en thriller-serie. Men den nye rapporten fra BirdLife International er dessverre verken fiksjon eller underholdning. The Killing 3.0 er navnet på rapporten som oppsummerer statusen for faunakriminalitet rettet mot fugler i Europa. Den viser at vi har en enorm jobb foran oss.

Fugleinteressen har fået luft unger vingerne blandt de unge i DOF BirdLife, der har flerdoblet sin andel af medlemmer under 30 år i løbet af få år. Fællesskab i fri natur med frisk luft og fugletræk er kodeord i en forklaring på fænomenet, der har forvandlet fuglekiggeri fra nørderi til en interesse, som også er med til at skabe ro og en generelt større bevidsthed om natur, miljø og biodiversitet.
