It really is quiet at the moment on the bird front. Summer
migrants have all left but there are very few exciting winter birds around. The
Pygmy Owls in Maridalen don’t seem to be around anymore with a bird I saw early
on Saturday morning the last sighting.
There have been some reports of large flocks of Pine
Grosbeaks and Waxwings in the north of the country over the last few days so
there is a chance that both these species will filter down to Oslo.
At Fornebu there are still Bearded Tits in two of the
reedbeds but they are hard to find. A Chiffchaff called once with a call
reminiscent of a tristis but I never saw or heard the birds again.
