The sightings and occasional thoughts of an English birder in Oslo

Bring on 2025
The New Year was spent in a damp England where I didn’t even
have bins let alone a camera although my ears did pick up a Firecrest as the best
bird.
We returned on Saturday night to a very cold Norway (-17C)
and from today we are forecast to have a up to 50cm of snow so it is a big
contrast and it will not even be easy to get out whilst it is snowing.
I had a short window yesterday morning to check out Maridalen
and was happy to reacquaint myself with both Hawkie and Piney but otherwise I
have nothing much to report. I took no pictures or video but have some from
after Christmas that I never posted so will let them adorn this post, the first
from what will hopefully be another exciting birding year although I will not
be focusing on lists in 2025.
do you see Hawkie on the telegraph pole?
the Yellow/Orange legged and billed Herring Gulls continue to stand out in Oslo
here the difference is very obvious with a normal bird on the left
