| singing Barn Swallow (låvesvale) |
Just time for a tour of Maridalen today. The ice has finally
melted completely and bang on cue a flock of 37 Tufted Duck (toppand) were
resting in the middle of the lake. It was already getting hot in the afternoon
and at the time of writing temperatures have passed 20 C so no doubt that
spring has arrived. The birds also agree with Swallows (låvesvale) now visiting
nesting sites and finally the first Whinchats (buskskvett) back. I had two
males and both were perched up exactly where I see my first ones each year. Yesterdays
male Pied Flycatcher (svarthvit fluesnapper) now had company of a male and they
were hanging about by a nest box.

In the garden I saw my first Orange Tip (aurorasommerfugl) butterfly
of the year.
