| Three-toed Woopecker (tretåspett). The same bird from different angles |
Another day, another early pre breakfast Maridalen trip.
Blue skies, nearly no cloud and a northerly wind meant that visible migration
was a non event. I therefore thought I would have a go for Woodpeckers and
turned up a female Three-toed (tretåspett) at the same spot as I had the male a
couple of weeks ago. She came very close although I didn’t check my camera
settings (it was set to F11) and therefore missed what would have been a good
photo opportunity.
The Great Grey Shrike (varsler) was perched up in exactly
the same tree as last week and on the lake were 7 Black-throated (storlom) and
3 Red-throated Divers (smålom). Two of the Red-throated were displaying to each
other with serpent like necks and at various times there was a bird flying
around the valley calling – definite signs that they are planning to breed
here.
