A weekend trip to England around Henley and West London produced Red Kite, Buzzard, Redwing, Stock Dove, Ring Necked Parakeet - all birds you would be very hard pressed to find in Norway at the moment.
Here in Oslo it is now 3 weeks since the mercury was north of zero and at last we have enough snow to enable some skiing which will hopefully be on the cards this weekend.
I didn´t know about "wild" Ring Necked Paraqeets at all, are they like Black Swans in Sweden, you can´t tick them if you are a serious birder?
ReplyDeleteI was in England last summer and I should have been very surprised if I had seen one. :-)/Lena
