After the excitement of 6 days on Værøy it will be a while
before birding around Oslo feels exciting again……
However a message from Kjetil J regarding a pipit he had
heard at Fornebu that wasn’t quite right for Tree Pipit (trepiplerke) got the
pulse up but unfortunately neither he or I could relocate the bird. Fornebu did
have quite a few birds though (far more than my marathon sessions on Værøy gave
me) but nothing from the east (or the west come to that). Still Chiffchaffs
(gransanger) and Blackcaps (munk) in the bushes and a single Reed Warbler
(rørsanger) in one of the reedbeds is getting to be late. A Lesser Spotted
Woodpecker was probably the best bird I had.
A drive round Maridalen was intended to produce my first
Great Grey Shrike (varsler) of the autumn but looks like I’ll have to wait on
that score. Still two Black-throated Divers (storlom) and a single Guillemot (lomvi)
on the lake is a sign of good numbers of small fish.
This Nutcracker (nøttekråke) provided the only picture of
note today.
