The Trio still available on the streets of Oslo


This last week has been half term holiday in both Norway and Britain which meant Ryan Air increased their prices so guiding also took a bit of a holiday although will bounce back next week. I haven’t had a full weeks holiday though as today I was out with Thomas and Manon from France who were rounding off a holiday in Norway with a day with me in Oslo, or as they put it at the end of the day, experiencing a “grand finale” 😊.

As they are both owls fans it was no surprise what the targets were. First up was Great Grey which was in the bag only thirty minutes after pick up – with a bird snoozing in the sunshine and showing really rather well. Next up was obviously Hawkie with two birds sitting high and proud only 300 m from each other. We completed the Trio with Piney which I had not thought we would succeed with as there have not been any other reports this week but two males (an adult and 2cy) were hanging out on their usual street and even engaged in some sub song. And all this before lunch!

The Bird Gods are clearly still satisfied with me and long may it continue.
