Øygarden 27-29 May 2024 - Home office

Yet another period of no birding away from my house:(

Lots of young birds about with Greenfinch grønnfink, Tree Sparrow pilfink and Siskin grønnsisik visiting my feeder with their young. Going though more food now than they did in the winter - around 1.5kg of sunflower seeds plus peanuts daily.

Blue Tit blåmeis



Siskins grønnsisik in the garden

Greylags grågås everywhere, often even in gardens. At least some species are doing well:) Goldfinches stillits still a regular sight from the terrace and seemingly good numbers of Lesser Whitethroat møller.


Greylags grågås with young pretty much everywhere, these were at Dåvøy



This "family" have been seen daily from my terrace the last couple of weeks. It seems an extra adult has attached itself and follows the pair with four young everywhere. A few more normal Greylag pairs with young are also present but the "extra" adult only accompanies this gang.


A 3cy Lesser Black-backed Gull sildemåke was a typical late spring observation for this relatively rare age group.
