My expectations are, of course, sky high but even if they were lower then I would have been disappointed the last few days. I keep expecting that rush of raptors, ducks or to be honest anything feathered but it just ain’t happening. I have visited the (once) mighty Svellet a couple of occasions to witness slowly rising water levels covering bone dry mud and if this continues then we can kiss goodbye to the springs greatest bird experience in these parts. Conversely if water levels gradually fall in the next couple of weeks then we could be lucky enough to experience something special. Time will tell but the first Greenshank of the year today were at least enough to keep me optimistic. The Ring-necked Duck was refound on Thursday. Some of Oslo’s finest had looked for it the day after I saw it without it being discovered and after that it seemed to be forgotten about until a sharp pair of eyes refound it 3 days later. I saw it yesterday when it was getting involved with the displaying Tufted Ducks which had me thinking it would stay around for a good while. I could not find it today though so either it has gone or I was observant as the finest a few days ago… a pair of Ringed Plovers (sandlo) are breeding at Fornebu despite there being less and less suitable habitat. Here the male was incubating what seemed to be just 2 eggs and the first Little Ringed Plover (dverglo) of the year at Fornebu which may also try to breed a Kestrel (tårnfalk) in Maridalen the Ring-necked Duck (ringand)

Finally there were some unexpected birds. Yesterday morning in Maridalen was very quiet and this morning started the same. Despite some slight overnight rain there were still very few birds to see with over 100 Fieldfares on the fields the only obvious arrival until around 8am when suddenly lots happened. First a Wryneck started singing, then two Swallows flew over, then a Willow Warbler sang, a Marsh Harrier flew over and a Slavonian Grebe appeared on the lake!! The Wryneck and WW are my earliest EVER in Norway, both by 4 days, and can definitely be described as exceptional records. Here is my total eBird checklist and a short video with as far as I can hear the sound of 10 species: Wryneck (vendehals), Chaffinch (bokfink), Willow Warbler (løvsanger), Greylag Goose (grågås), Blue Tit (blåmeis), Chiffchaff (gransanger), Great Tit (kjøttmeis), Song Thrush (måltrost), Curlew (storspove) and Green Sandpiper (skogsnipe). a very early Wryneck (vendehals) and an equally early Willow Warbler (løvsanger) - if you think this picture doesn't show why it isn't a Chiffchaff (gransanger) then you can hear it singing in the video my first Swallow (låvesanger) of the year and already my third Marsh Harrier (sivhauk) of the year in Maridalen. Surely some other half decent raptors should turn up soon a third Lapwing (vipe) is now sitting

We seem to be in another of those dead spells which I’m sure occur in the middle of April every year when I expect wave after wave of migrants to appear but they don’t even if the conditions are “perfect”. We had some light rain on Sunday evening but even that hasn’t helped. The farmers have started ploughing and even sowing some of the fields in Maridalen but apart from geese, including a flock of 190 Pink-feet, there is hardly a bird to be seen. Meadow Pipits are noticeable only be their near total absence. A couple of Wheatears and my first Ring Ouzel have been the only birds worth a mention. Raptors have, of course, also been just a dream. Some fortune did come my way though yesterday evening. On the way out at 1915 to pick up Jr Jr from Lørenskog I checked my phone and saw I had an email titled «ring necked duck». It was Tomas Mazak, a Slovenian birder living in Oslo who I have yet to meet but he was kind enough to inform me he had found a male Ring-necked Duck at Lillestrøm. This was only 10 minutes further drive from Jr Jr so would hardly even count as a twitch😉 A call to Jr Jr to see if she preferred to see the bird or be picked up a bit late was answered as expected so I got to see the bird without continually being asked «are you finished» but it did mean I couldn’t spend that long with it. This was an Akershus tick for me although could well be the same bird that stopped off at Maridalsvannet (Oslo) a few years ago. adult male Ring-necked Duck (ringand) here with a Tufted Duck (toppand) in the foreground my first Ring Ouzel (ringtrost) of the year. In Maridalen of course a Starling (stær) and a bee Maridalen's first Wheatear (steinskvett) of the year the quest to find a Red Kite continues but the odd Marsh Harrier (sivhauk) turns up such as this old male at Kallaksjøen and this 2cy bird in Maridalen
