For the first time this year, I had a lovely spring feeling while cycling to work today. It was milder and brighter, and I almost didn't need the bike lights.
While I was at work, Richard found the year's first northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) on our island as well! With them, spring is officially here ツ (10 days earlier than last year.) From now on, we will see more birds every day- exciting!
I'm excited to see if any of the few ringed lapwings I've met breeding in our neighborhood the last years will be back.
This one from the archive was ringed as a chick on Karmøy island 4 years before I met it. It was only found once during spring migration on Jæren after 3 years, before I met it. It's not registered later on.
