I am still
suffering from a bug so let Rune go off on mammoth drive today whilst I stayed
close to home. After a few days of positive temperatures today was back to
solid minus temperatures which has left roads and pavements resembling ice
rinks but also creates a fantastic light. At Fornebu there was a lot of ice on
the fjord and a great view into the city.

| Kestrel (tårnfalk) - nearly a substitute for Hawk Owl especially when he sits like this |
The
overwintering Kestrel showed himself off well and whilst taking a picture of
him a Water Rail (vannrikse) squealed from the reedbed at Storøykilen. I am very surprised
that there are still birds here given how cold it has been as I assumed that
there was no open water available to them until the last few of days. At Furst
Brygge the small area of open water held 50 or so Goldeneye (kvinand) and amongst them
the female Smew (lappfiskand) is still present aswell as 2 Velvet Scoter (sjøorre) and a single
Guillemot (lomvi).
In Maridalen
nothing of particular note and it is now a couple of weeks since I last saw
Pine Grosbeaks here.
