Despite the gloom and rain
the Oslo Birder delivers the goods 😊
Today’s guiding of Peter and Gail from Suffolk was just a couple of hours with
2 target species and was a complete success:
√ Pine Grosbeak
√ Nutcracker
The Grosbeaks showed
where I hoped and had increased to 9 birds from yesterday’s 3. There were only
2 adult males in the flock though showing that birds are definitely coming and going.
Nutcracker is not an easy bird to find in the winter but I knew where to look
and after deploying all the tricks in a guides toolbox we ended up having great
views.
