Great birding day depite thick fog and limited visibility at Utsira. Easy to get close the newly arrived Common Shelducks and the Mute Swan still interested in me. | Gravender og en knoppsvane i dagens tåke-landskap på Utsira.

A Mute Swan is not regular at Utsira and still good numbers with Stonecats | Knoppsvane er ikke årlig på Utsira og ennå gode antall med minimum 10 svartstruper i dag.

The Norwegian government has given up on dealing with electricity prices in Norway & has decided just to pay everyone's electricity bill (basically). There are far better & easier solutions, as @anders.energiogklima.no explains here (in Norwegian) www.energiogklima.no/meninger-og-... 1/

Chaotic Eiders in harsh light, ..filtering smashed pieces after the stormy weather at Utsira | Ærfulger mesker seg i knuste biter og rester etter stormen i Sørevågen.

God helg! Det er absolutt hørbart når noen har 'mistet signal fra Utsira' Post-Rockerne Les Dunes er ute med nytt materiale! Tune in... everythingisnoise.net/premieres/in...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

End of field season 2024 - my blogging meme in 13yrs (sorry - in norwegian, but you get it - mainly from Utsira) | En feltsesong er over.. Eneste dagen i året da, jeg tar fram min gamle kråkeblogg for å sette merkestaven i jorda! atgrims.blogspot.com/2024/12/faun...

A lego star named Ben made a lil #RVA a few years back and asked me if I would paint the wall on it, or maybe I asked him, I dont remember. He came over and 2 minutes later I had sprayed the stencil of "Lisa" on the side. Since then it seems to pop up online all the time. Funny how that goes. #lego

The Teifi Ringing Group have several records of wintering Starlings ringed in Lithuania but this month an interesting movement was a bird caught near Lampeter. It had been ringed in a nest in Finland 2004 km away in May 2023 #birdringing teifimarshbirds.blogspot.com/2024/12/earl...

Ingen bud i det som ble kalt "knald eller fald for dansk klimapolitik". Også om elbilsalg i Storbritannia, skuffelse og håp rundt USAs klimapolitikk og en tysk energiglose.

Kjekk anerkjennelse for Bekkens Bestanddeler på Utsira

Sterkt å se hvordan den norske stat og kirken via Norsk Misjon til slutt klarte å utrydde en hel kultur, et språk og et folk, de #reisende. #NRK #romani tv.nrk.no/se?v=KMTE320...

Utsira, Norway, 2021 - This is the first of 2 pieces I did on the island of Utsira, the smallest community in Norway- with about 185 people on an island. It is a place seemingly out of time in the best way possible. A place of simple and remarkable beauty. #streetart #utsira #mural #birding #norge

What's happening in Romania. An analysis for the rest of the world: On 11/24/2024 we had the first round of the presidential election. In Romania, the voting system states that the top two contenders qualify for the second round, where whoever wins 50%+1 of the votes becomes president. 🧵👇

30 #norskestartpakker har det blitt etter hvert i denne tråden, på tvers av fag, interesser, identitet, politikk etc. Noe av det beste med startpakkene er at de 30 forvalterne kan oppdatere sin egen startpakke, uten at de - eller jeg - «må» poste de på nytt. Men jeg skulle gjerne hatt et bokmerke!

The 2nd Shetland record of American Coot on Loch Spiggie this afternoon, with a Eurasian for company. Subtle differences, but it showed moderately well on the western shore. Top marks to Phil for finding it #Coot #Shetland #UKbirding

Hvis alt går i dass.. så har vi en god BRICS-ambasadør her. Jeg hadde litt sansen for denne fyren før,.. omtrent når Naiv-Super toppet boklistene. Han har vært på en eventyrlig rundreise og har sikkert kofferten full.

I was delighted to be asked to provide some illustrations for the scarce bird report in British Birds, Red-flanked Bluetail and Blyth's Reed Warbler from the August edition.
