Først i oktober begyndte fuglekonger for alvor at dukke op i Danmark. Det er usædvanligt sent, og antallet af fuglekonger er også væsentligt lavere end sædvanligt.
Good evening readers! This morning was raining lightly and a bit foggy, but us observers (myself, Christina, Rosie, Gustav and Saxe) went out to World?s End III to start the count at sunrise. It was...
Ringmærkning: Det var ret mørkt det meste af dagen, og det gav også lidt dryp. De fleste fugle i standardtiden blev 15 halemejser som sad i samme net. Standardtiden gav 20 nye fugle og 4 kontroller. En...

Ringmærkning: Trækket på Odden: Endnu en dag uden det store at skrive om trækket. Havtrækket var lidt bedre end I går, med lidt over 400 fugle talt, men til gengæld var småfugletrækket...
Observationer: Morgenen startede med dårlig sigt og og med opslåede paraplyer. Et regnvejr skulle passere omkring kl. 8 og drillede lidt fra starten. Det blev dejligt klart og solrigt efterfølgende,...

This morning started very grey and got progressively more grey. Our new interns, Saxe and Gustav joined Mio and I at the count, while Louis, Sarah and Christina headed to Kabeltromlen. There was some early...
Ringmærkningen: Dagen stod på stille vejr og tåge. Vi åbnede alle net og håbede på at få nogle fugle at lege med. De daglige solsorte kom forbi, et par genfangster vi i form af Rødhals (European...
Ringmærkning: Trækket på Odden: Why do alle the birds have some red-coloured body part? This fact causes quite a bit of confusion, at least for Alba, who saw a Red-breasted, no, Red-throated, no,...

The morning started freezing cold. Mio and I went to open the nets at Kabeltromlen, but the nets were frozen because of the low temperatures. Although we were not able to open all the nets, we were able...
Ringmærkningen: Der var igen vind så jeg satte samme antal net op. Der kom kun fugle på 2 runder over dagen, men til gengæld var der sol. Dagen gav 3 fugle hvoraf de 2 var nye, men tiden gik så...
Observationer Vejr: En kølig morgen med 3 grader, stigende til 5 grader i løbet af formiddagen. Lidt vind på omkring 5 m/s, som gav træk i dag! Sigten var god, omkring 15 km. Det var overskyet fra...
Ringmærkningen: Xxxxx Trækket på Odden: En luksuriøs dag, hvor Alba og Marek arbejdede så flittigt sammen om et forholdsvis begrænset træk, at den tredje på holdet kunne tage det hele lidt afslappet...

On Thursday morning I had just parked the car at Huk after having dropped Jr Jr nearby when my phone plinged - a Great Grey Owl was hunting in Lillomarka. I dropped my plans of finding a Little Auk on a fog covered fjord and headed for the forest. I arrived on site after a 25 minute drive and 15 minute walk and found the bird fairly quickly. It was only 800m from the bird at the end of September so easy to assume it was the same bird but quite a few birders (myself included) have been in the area since with no subsequent sightings. It had clearly heard a rodent and was nearly falling off the branch as it prepared to drop onto the prey beneath it. I did se it catch one vole and dive unsuccessfully for another before before after half an hour it disappeared into woodland on the edge of the marsh where it had been hunting. Whilst watching it I could see that the flight feathers all looked to be browny grey and I remembered that the September bird clearly had two generations of flight feathers with darker moulted feathers contrasting with older (juvenile?) ones which showed it was a 2+cy. Checking the photos on the PC I could also see the pattern on the underside of the tail feathers was clearly different to the Sept bird and the tail feathers were also noticeably pointed. This and the single generation of flight feathers show the bird to be a 1cy i.e born this year. So this was exciting that this small area had attracted two different GGO within 7 weeks but that was only part of the story. I went back in the evening which is now early as sunset is just after 4pm as I planned to have a second go for Tengmalm’s Owls this autumn. At 4pm a GGO appeared in exactly the same area as the bird in the morning. It made no attempts to catch food and never seemed to have heard anything and then after close to half an hour of being on the same perch it moved fairly quickly a couple of hundred meters to the south and then disappeared into the forest just as it got dark. I took this to mean that it was hunting within the forest but in hindsight it may well have been continuing its dispersal looking for productive hunting grounds. What is really exciting though is that photos show this was NOT the same bird as earlier in the day (or September)! It had rounded tail feathers so is not a bird of the year (although I do not have photos of the flight feathers to confirm) and the pattern does not match the Sept bird. And why do I have hindsight? Well, a thorough search by me and others this morning from before sunrise revealed no GGO at all, so maybe we just chanced upon two birds moving through. As in the 2019/20 when Maridalen attracted four different GGO it amazes and fascinates me how a single area far away from any known breeding grounds can suddenly attract multiple GGO. How do they end up in the same place? It is not as though there is an abundance of rodents - the post sunset stint revealed not a single owl of any species despite perfect conditions. Looking at my post from 2020 when I individually identified four different GGO in Maridalen I don’t remember making an effort to age them so will maybe go back through my pictures to see what I can make out. However 2019 was a year with no recorded breeding of GGO in Norway due to an absence of rodents in the breeding areas so they were always unlikely to be juveniles (the two proceeding years had been very good though so there were a lot of birds dispersing in desperation). the morning bird atop the high thin stump in the middle of the picture and here on that stump the evening bird on the left side of the trunk of the pine in the middle of the picture and Akshada Risbud who took the following picture which was much better than I managed it really was quite dark when Ashkada took this picture but her superior skills as a photgrapher and better equipment resulted in a much better picture than I managed: I do like this silhouette though And here are the comparison pics of the three birds from this autumn showing why they are different and also how to age them the very pointed tail of the 1cy bird is very easy to see and contrasts with the rounded tails of the two other birds. The different patterns of the tail feathers are easy to see. I don't have a shot of the wing of the afternoon bird as it was always looking straight at us but note that the 1cy bird on the left has flight feathers that all have a browny grey base colour whereas the 2+cy bird from September has two generations of feathers with some having a base colour of dark grey and others browny grey. This may mean that bird can be aged as a 2cy but I will go with the 2+cy to be safe and also because I have not read myself up enough on the subject of aging GGO I have frequently heard that one can individually identify GGO based on their facial markings. I have tried this and clearly don't have the observational skills to do it as I do not see that it is possible especially as the features people see are ones that change based on posture and whether the bird is dry or wet... But one difference that can be seen here is the black mark to the right of the bill of the afternoon bird. Whether this is a consistent feature of that bird though or just due to a displaced feather at the time of the picture is not something we will ever know unless the bird is seen again (and identified based on its tail feathers)
