Birding in Oslo is rather nice at the moment. Even though the bird scene is not changing very much it doesn’t really need to when it includes so many good birds. The Maridalen Hawk Owl has rather predictably proven to be way to popular amongst photographers and it is all getting a bit untasteful with the bird surrounded and chased. Early and late in the day it is left alone though as the good light in the middle of the day is also a key factor for the toggers and it does seem to be finding quite a bit of food but in some ways I wish it had never turned up. I was watching it early yesterday morning and standing 60-70 metres away when it suddenly flew straight at me and I had no idea what was going to happen but it crashed onto the ground just 5 metres from me and caught a mouse!! This time it seemed to be a wood mouse rather than a vole. Grosbeaks are turning up in even more places and a male even flew over Hawkie calling which was of course a rather moving experience for me 😍. We had a dusting of snow yesterday which seemed to cause a southerly movement of Fieldfares and Redwings but they are still unusually numerous feeding on both rowan berries and on the ground although that will stop if enough snow comes. winter coming to the Dale Hawkie perched 60 odd metres from me and has noticed something here he crashes to the ground just 5m from me he had clearly caught something as he was using his wings to cover it he then flew to a wire with his prey before then flying to a tree to eat it before immediately returning to hunt for more the long tail shows this to be a mouse rather than a vole the owl being admired respectfully (this time) from the road got the ski jump in the background and the edge of the city and the lake and Grefsenkollen it's snowing! this is when it starts getting out of hand This video of feeding Grosbeaks is taken with the Bazooka using a trip and I am very happy with the quality male Grozza 6 Grozzas Brambling (bjørkefink) and Waxwing (sidensvans) and the Norwegian flag a Whooper Swan (sangsvane) pair flew over the owl the kink in the neck of the bird to the left looks uncomfortable but I have noticed similar kinks a few times before and the birds seem to be OK Fieldfares (gråtrost)

This post will cover yesterday which was a day when I did not see Hawk Owl and even though I did see Pine Grosbeak I contained myself and didn’t take any pictures. Going cold turkey was easier than I imagined 😅. I did however add another species to #Oslo2024 taking me to 207(205). It was a targeted trip to Huk that resulted in Long-tailed Duck with a few recent sightings on the fjord making me feel I had a good chance of seeing one. I did in fact see 4 with a distant flock flying past which I believe were in Oslo air space. Also here were 2 Rock Pipits which showed surprisingly well for this species. In Maridalen even though the Hawk Owl evaded me I did see a Pygmy Owl which amazingly enough is rarer this autumn. Rock Pipits (skjærpiplerke) Huk, Bygdøy an all too fleeting sighting of a Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) 1 of 2 Mistle Thrushes (duetrost) an absolute beast of a Goshawk (hønsehauk)
Landbruks- og matdepartementet (LMD) og Klima- og miljødepartementet (KLD) har laget et utkast til ny «viltressurslov» som har vært på høring i disse dager. Regjeringens forslag er et tilbakeskritt for norsk naturforvaltning. Utkastet ignorerer naturkrisen og prioriterer jegerinteresser fremfor økosystemer og dyrevelferd.
Back on the morning obs after a few days of doing some sidequests, it was really cold and you could feel winter was coming. Me and Emma went out to Worlds End 3, where Knud was waiting for us. With the...
Observations: En interessant morgen på hukket i dag.. Temperaturen var faldet markant til 3 - 4° og der var nærmest ikke en vind der rørte sig. Der kom rigtig mange Sortænder den første halvanden...

Det går ikke spesielt bra med rype- og skogsfugl i Norge, til tross for at hekkesuksessen enkelte år er bedre enn andre år. Truslene har vært mange i lang tid, og også jakt bør reguleres strengere. Det har vært budskapet til Kjetil Aa. Solbakken og Martin Eggen i BirdLife Norge i mange lokalaviser denne høsten.
This morning I went to the obs. I spend the first hour alone and it was a busy one. All of the birds, which were stuck in Kattegat, were able to leave. I counted 170 Kittiwake (Ride), some auks very far...
Observations: Vinden fortsatte i dag, endda stærkere end i går, og da militæret alligevel ikke havde øvelse fra morgenstunden, gik Jonas og jeg i sabinen for at være i læ for vinden. Der skete...
Ringmærkningen: Conditions were too rainy and windy for ringing today. Hans came by the station today and picked up the nets taken down by Henrik earlier this week. Trækket på Odden: Sea foam tossed...
This post will bring you pure birding dope, all sourced in Oslo from a street side dealer of the highest quality. Draw the curtains, kick back on the sofa and enjoy the rush. The doses of Piney are from the 12th and 13th and Hawkie from the 16th when one was still on Maridalen (and long may it stay!). The Pine Grosbeak invasion looks to be the largest this century in the Oslo area and there must be hundreds if not thousands in the forests around Oslo. My highest day count is 88 which was mostly in an around Oslo and didn’t include a visit to Tryvann where I had 65 the day before. None have gone urban yet although they are getting closer and are no longer just to be found higher up. We cannot yet describe the arrival of Hawk Owls as an invasion, it is still just a movement but could still gain some momentum. a young male, probably a 2nd winter eating birch buds
Ringmærkningen: Da nettene skulle op regnede de, så de kom først op 7.30. Vinden var lige på kanten og allerede 8.30 valgte vi at lukke da der kom regn og vinden havde taget lidt til. Heldigvis var...
The day started with Mara, Emma and I getting up and ready for migration counts at World?s End 3. Ragnar away from the obs doing other jobs. The wind was a strong North/North westerly wind that blew...
Observations: Den semi kraftige vind og udsigt til mange små byger fik os til at rykke i sabinebunkeren i morges. Henrik og jeg var på plads fra obs start kl. 8, og det skulle vise sig at være en...
