Today was a day of minus temperatures, blue skies, no wind
and perfect light. Only trouble was I couldn’t find the Grosbeaks again. I
checked many places and walked two hours in 30cm deep snow in the forests but
didn’t find any. It was strangely quiet with absolutely no finches not even
overflying Siskins (grønnsisik). The forests didn’t reveal anything else (no
grouse or woodpeckers) except a group of three Long-tailed Tits (stjertmeis)that were
suddenly right by me and then just as quickly gone leaving me with this one
slightly out of focus picture. The white-headed Scandinavian birds really are
smart!

One of the feeding stations in Maridalen has now quite a few
birds including this Crested Tit (toppmeis) which I captured whilst eating and you can see its toungue whilst it discards the shell of the seed. Also three Red Squirrels here which always
make a nice subject.

On Maridalsvannet the Whooper Swan (sangsvane) family is hanging on and gave
some nice pictures in challenging light.
