Enjoyable start to 2026 with incredible good views of the first Azure Tit ever recorded in Norway! Absolutely mindblowing bird!
Booted Warbler (iduna caligata) trapped and ringed at Titran, Frøya, Trøndelag today. 4th record for the county.
Yesterday I got news that the American Golden Plover from July was accepted by the rarity comittee, which means that 2024 resulted in self-found Laughing Gull, AGP, Eurasian Hoopoe, Spotted Crake, YBW and European Stonechat within a radius of 2 km from my appartement. #Sistranda #Frøya
In mid-October a presumed Central Asian Lesser Whitethroat (c.c. halimodendri) appeared at #Sula, #Frøya. An individual showing all the characteristics of this subspecies (vocals, biometrics, outer tail feathers and colorisation). Yesterday the results came back, confirming it as the 3rd for Norway.
The Bruce's Green-Pigeon and the Masked Booby wasn't too bad either. All photos digiscoped with my phone through binoculars/scope.
Sooty Falcon
Dideric Cuckoo
Grey Hypocolius
Grey-headed Swamphen
A fitting tribute to a new beginning on this platform would be a short resumé of the recent trip to Oman. The highlights being a Grey-headed Swamphen crossing the road in the middle of the desert, White-breasted Waterhen, Oriental Honey Buzzard, Grey Hypocolius, Dideric Cuckoo and Yemen Serin ++.
