Yesterday evening was cloud- and windless so felt like a good night to have my first nocturnal trip to Maridalen. With the thermal imager it becomes even more exciting now as I have a chance to see a bit of what is going on rather than just listen to it.
I was able to observe a pair of Tawny Owls that were
singing in the same area that I discovered young just out of the nest last year
so I will hopefully manage to find the nest this year. I also had another
singing Tawny, a moose and a strange sound that baffled me although there was a
consensus on Twitter that it was a fox.
Is anyone able to help me with this call which I’ve never heard before.

Heard tonight in spruce/pine forest close to Oslo. It has a similarity to geese or Raven but I am sure it is an animal. It also seemed to move quite quickly through the forest.

I heard no other owls and there have been very few
reports so far this year of singing owls anywhere in southern Norway but
hopefully things will pick up as it is still very early in the season.
No pictures but three videos. The first from
the thermal imager shows flying Tawny
Owls and the other two taken with the phone have the sounds of the Tawnies and
the fox.
