I would be considering giving up birding completely if I a) thought it was possible b) didn't have the last week in April booked as holiday. Heaven help the poor f**cker who tries to contact me regarding work then!
As things stand no time in the field puts birding effort at an all time low for the time being.
All I managed were a few all-too short drive-bys. A couple of Pinkfeet kortnebbgås at Husvatnet, Tjeldstø on 14.04 along with a couple each of Rook kornkråke and Jackdaw kaie at Breivik the same day, the first Swallow låvesvale of the year heading north over my garden whilst I ate breakfast on 15.04 and a random Lesser-spotted Woodpecker dvergspett at Hjelme during a work related photo trip was pretty much what I managed.
In the garden HUGE amounts of sunflower seeds are being devoured by a flock of at least 40 Sisikin grønnsisik, 12 Goldfinch stillits, several Greenfinch grønnfink, a couple of Chaffinch bokfink and very small numbers of Great Tit kjøttmeis and Coal Tit svartmeis.
Thankfully WT Eagles havørn and the usual still showing up.
On 16.04 there was decent arrival of Fieldfare gråtrost and Redwing rødvingetrost.
