Traffic this winter, February 2007, is heavy.
Trafikken

23.03.08. Quite a few Canada-geese
stay here all winter.

27.03.2008 - 14.05.2008. The Canada-goose
is back, too.
05.06.2008. We put up three boxes for the
birds this year,
and were happy to have at least two of them inhabited
with Great
Tit, Parus major,
(Kjøttmeis eller Tertitt in norwegian).
Here the Tit comes out after having fed the babies.
It's going fast, and they make several trips during the day -
often with only seconds between each visit.
28.08.2008. We have had this fellow, probably a Common
Buzzard, Buteo buteo, visiting us this
autumn.
In fact, we have seen up to 4 birds at the same time.
No doubt there is a lot of food here, as we still have the 500
greenfinches....
about a 100 dowes, and some sparrows etc,
not to
forget about 50 Canada geese, all
almost daily.
One
day we even had a Grey Heron, Ardea
cinerea, coming up from the lake.
01.09.2008. This poor goose came along with about a dozen others,
flying in from south,
only a few feet above ground, when it suddenly hit some electricity-wires,
and fell right down onto the ground. But after some 10 minutes, it flew after
the others.
03.09.2008. While
writing this, my wife called - the Buteo buteo was just outside our garden,
feeding on some unknown animal.
correction
to
the number of dowes above...
The dowes are just becoming more
and more, now they are close to 500 in this flock.
In our garden here in Telemark.
Been with us all summer, feeding on flocks of 500 greenfinches.
I hagen hos oss he Telemark. En flittig gjest i
hele sommer,
der den har forsynt seg bra av flokker på opp til 500 grønnfinker.
