It clouded over during the afternoon and there even was a
flurry of snow but this didn’t stop Pink-footed Geese migrating with 6 flocks
totalling 880 during the course of half an hour. I also had three Buzzards up
in the air and a 2cy Goshawk hunting Wood Pigeons (this was different to
yesterday’s bird as it was not missing a primary).
I also revisited Østensjøvannet and connected with the male
Pochard this time – probably helped that the frost had caused a significant
reduction in the areas of open water.

can you see the Wood Pigeon taken through the snow flurry? Taken with 500mm |
the same view using the camera on my phone - the snow is barely noticeable |
the fields at Kirkeby in the rain. There are yet to be any large numbers of birds here |

a female down on the road - looking for grit? |
the stain on the breast of the shrike suggests he had just had a bloody breakfast |
