After my first sighting of Pine Grosbeak on Wednesday, I found none yesterday but today had ten in total including my first adult males and my first in Maridalen. It is not quite invasion tendencies yet but I reckon we will have a good, if gradual, arrival. The birds I saw today were in spruce but they will turn up in an urban car park soon. Maridalsvannet was completely calm today and revealed a total of 12 Common Scoters and the juv Black-throated Diver which is still present and may well not leave until the lake freezes which the way things are going may not be until well into 2027. It is so mild that dragons are still flying and I also had a butterfly today which flew too quickly but was probably a Comma (hvit C). a very late Black-throated Diver (storlom) in Maridalsvannet Common Scoter (svartand) and a Wigeon also on Maridalsvannet today Crested Tit (toppmeis) are quite easy to find at the moment 2 Pine Grosbeaks (konglebit) and another two which were part of a flock of eight that were all in this tree top and included two adult males but it was only when they flew that I realsied how many there were the Grozzas were at Grefsenkollen which has a great view over the city and fjord these two ferries (one coming from Denmark and the other Germany I believe) offer mini cruises and always seem to race each other into Oslo in the morning one of two Marsh Tits (løvmeis) at the feeders in Maridalen today
When most people find a small brown nugget in the woods, they assume it’s animal poop. It could be, but it also might be an owl pellet: a mass of bone, fur, and feathers that the owl could not...

I andre runde av Fotonøtta var fuglen som ga ett poeng grei for de fleste deltakere. Trepoengeren medførte derimot litt mer hodebry. Det er fortsatt mange med full pott, og vi prøver å skru til vanskelighetsgraden noe i denne tredje runden av Fotonøtta. Lykke til!

I've had some feedback that I didn't sound particularly happy with my sea gazing yesterday which did after all included a Grey Phalarope which is a VERY good bird - so good that it is only my 4th in Norway (3 of them have now been from same place - Krokstrand) and the first in Oslo & Akershus for 6 years. I guess I have overly optimistic expectations based on just one or two epic seawatches close to ten years ago and am forgetting how dire sea gazing usually is close to Oslo so should be happy with what others would describe as a fantastic day. One thing I really missed was the complete lack of skuas. I know that the global population of Great Skuas has been hugely affected by avian flu but there is also clearly something up with Pomarine Skua which used to be an expected feature of late autumn storms but nowadays I hardly see an autumn record of 1cy birds AT ALL in the whole of Norway. I have heard that one reason that Steller's Eiders are suffering is that Pomarine Skuas are predating them on the breeding grounds due to a repeated lack of Lemmings on their Siberian breeding grounds. What I don't know though (and maybe know one knows due to the dire situation in Russia) is when the last time Pomarine Skuas had a successful breeding season. Anyways yesterday was a GOOD day and so was today because I got myself a Grozza. It was a sunny day with little wind and I was determined to find one so with the Beast in tow went walking in the forests of Lillomarka. And I did not have to wait long - just 10 minutes after leaving the car I heard one of the most magical sounds known to man and then saw the little beast of a bird. It was in an area of mixed spruce/pine forest with no rowan berries and although they eat the buds of coniferous trees I think the seeds of rowan berries are preferred so I reckon birds are just passing through the forests and will eventually settle in the city. I later heard another overflying bird(s) so they are clearly on the move as hoped/predicted. Otherwise it was eerily quiet in the forest but I did hear and then see a Hazel Grouse and heard a distant hooting Pygmy Owl so there is still some life in the forest. The video has the magical sound of the Pine Grosbeak (konglebit) and the Hazel Grouse (jerpe): Pine Grosbeak (konglebit). The reddy colouration suggests it is a 1cy male but it is not straightforward aging/sexing them
