Most of yesterday’s snowfall melted during the day, but it was back again this morning…

The wild dawn call of the Curlew
I am so fortunate every year to hear the song of the curlew (storspove) singing in the bay from early April and through most of the summer, sometimes overhead too. Sadly, there are no lapwings (vipe) any more, but at least one pair of curlew is here. But, there are no definite breeding records from the whole of Malvik kommune ever (no young birds, eggs or nests observed)..so where do they breed? This video is from 4:40 this morning! You can also here both great tit (kjøttmeis) and redwing (rødvingetrost)
Dramatic Spring Days
You appreciate the sunny spring days much more when you have a couple of days of blizzards in between….our resident robin, blackbird and
chaffinch were back singing today! First the day train to Bodø passing.

Skyscapes
Nice to be back to Malvik’s wonderful skyscapes!
Dawn and dusk
At this time of year dawn and dusk coincides for several hours and there’s no sun-up and sun-down again until after11th January; this is the most beautiful time of year. This morning the beauty didn’t last long as the storm and sleet showers moved in from the west!

Ever-changing view
The ever-changing view, friday was windy and this morning’s surprise whiteness…the first of the autumn, No panci at getting up the carrots, parsnip and perennials for forcing as it’s unlikely to freeze for a while!
