The Book of Thrushes and Chats


Verse 12    :“...and on the 225rd day of #Oslo2024 the Bird Gods looked down and proclaimed “thou shall see a Bluethroat today” and their word became reality in the Dale”


an early juvenile Bluethroat (blåstrupe) but one I had been expecting to turn up as the first migrating birds had already been reported at other sites in southern Norway

it was in a field of rape seed oil which has loads of "weeds" and insects and has already attracted a number of Whinchats

my 193rd species putting already 2 above my 2019 total
