Dramatic Spring Days

April 14, 2020 Stephen Barstow Leave a comment

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.

who became the third species in 3 days to sing to me! Sat under the old gnarled birch tree in the garden having breakfast this morning and I was joined by this chaffinch (bokfink) :)

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.

Two nuthatches (spettmeis) on the bird feeder this morning with a short guest appearance of a male chaffinch (bokfink) :) See the video below! A dark morning here, the sun has now set until it rises again around 14th January! Only secondhand sun now clipping the tops of the trees on Malvikodden:

It was difficult to concentrate at the weekend as there was so much happening outside the living room window…here’s a selection of still pictures and videos of birds eating wild food and at and under the bird feeder!

Tree sparrow (pilfink) with greenfinch (grønnfink)

Redpolls (gråsisik) feeding on nettle seed

A robin (rødstrupe) payed a short visit, here with house sparrows (gråspurv) and goldfinch (stillits)

Still picture seemingly showing the greenfinch beak in the powerful hawfinch beak..

Hawfinch, goldfinches, greenfinches, brambling and chaffinches...here also a chaffinch appears to beg the hawfinch for food..

Some 400 Jackdaws gathering in a field on the other side of the bay at dusk, before flying over the house to the roost at Vikhammer! BEST SEEN IN HD!!

Hawfinches with goldfinches, greenfinches and chaffinch

Greenfinches with pair of bullfinches

Fieldfare feeding on rotten apple!

A robin made a quick visit

Here we see a greenfinch trying to take morcels of seed from a hawfinch (kjernebiter)..I saw this several times today and yesterday...it happens very quickly, but a still picture (below) seems to show the greenfinch's beak inside the beak of the hawfinch and the greenfinch is pushed away..

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.
