Little new but still quality around Oslo

Birding around Oslo continues in a very predictable manner. I did have a small flock of Wood Pigeons seemingly migrating north but they may also have been some of the small number of wintering birds just moving between sites. Otherwise it has been same old, same old with Jack Snipe, Scaup, Kingfisher, King Eider, Hawk and Pygmy Owl and the occasional Shag that have been receiving my attention, as they have most of the year.

we haven't had much sun recently so it was pleasing to be able to see the Hawk Owl enjoying it 

Common Snipe (enkeltbekkasin) is always more in the open and feeding when I find them unlike the Jack Snipes which are hidden amongst reeds

These videos show how the birds slowly relaxes after I disappear from view and also how quickly it reacts when I reappear
