Chaffinch
A chaffinch (bokfink) in full song this beautiful morning. This is the normal time for chaffinches to return here, although a small number do overwinter. I also heard a short snatch of chiffchaff (gransanger) song on Saturday, earlier than normal.

Spring choir including Icterine Warbler
On the way to work this morning my first singing Icterine warbler / gulsanger of 2016 at Leangenbukta. The warbler is heard at the beginning with a chaffinch/ bokfink and is then swamped by a singing redwing / rødvingetrost with a willow warbler/løvsanger and blackcap /munk in the mix too.
