I haven’t been out ”in the field” for the last couple of
days so have little to report on the birding front. Today though I had the
company of a journalist and photographer from the NTB news agency who were
writing an article about feeding birds. It was fun talking to them and we spent
some time trying to take some interesting pictures involving me, birds and bird
food – I’m looking forward to seeing the finished article! I also took them up
into Maridalen to see the bird feeding stations there and we got to speak to
one of the pensioners who are responsible for the biggest feeding station which
always has a lot of birds plus the odd red squirrel and roe deer in residence.
Unfortunately there were no particularly interesting birds
to show them although in the garden there were good numbers of House (gråspurv)
and Tree Sparrows (pilfink), Blue (blåmeis) and Great Tits (kjøttmeis), a
couple of Greenfinches (grønnfink) and a Wren (gjerdesmett). Up in Maridalen
there was also a Great Spotted Woodpecker (flaggspett), Willow (granmeis) and
Coal Tits (svartmeis), three Red Squirrels (ekorn) and on the lake the Whooper
Swan (sangsvane) family was still in residence.
