The local Three-Toed Woodpeckers are very active at the moment. Herre the male drums and the female vigourously searches for food. Oslo
So I spend the day on my patch near Oslo dreaming of seeing a Red Kite but a single Sparrowhawk is the ONLY raptor I see. Meanwhile 79km to the south, Norway’s first Black-shouldered Kite turns up. artsobservasjoner.no/Media/Image/25…
A short video of the singing Great Grey Owl from last Thursday. Look at how it pumps its throat to produce those deep hoots. This was a real bucket list moment to actually see this spectacular species singing. Norway
A dream come true - singing Great Grey Owl seen and not just heard! Close to Oslo as we speak
The lakes may still be frozen & fields covered with snow but the sun (when it shines) is now warm enough to entice the first Adders (hoggorm🇳🇴) out from the holes where they have spent the winter. Oslo yesterday (today it is raining & only 3C so they will be back in those holes)
Great Grey Shrike (varsler🇳🇴) expertly keeping its balance in the wind today. Oslo
I have been guiding for the last three days around Oslo and we had some great birds despite thigh high snow making it difficult getting around! Hazel Grouse was the #1 priority and it obliged plus Pygmy Owl, Bearded Tit, Great Grey Shrike ++ more on oslobirder.blogspot.com
A happy guide and two happy punters watching Hazel Grouse in an Oslo winter wonderland today. Thigh high snow away from the ski tracks didn’t put us off but made it hard work at times.
Yesterday was the day woodpeckers started drumming in Oslo. It was sunny although still cold at -7C but the days are getting longer and something must have just clicked. Best was this male Three-toed with a GS in the background allowing comparison of their drums.
EXTREME temperature change in Oslo. We are having a «heat wave»today with 12 hours of plus temperatures before it goes back to normal. Picture on left taken last Friday and on right just now => 31 degree change! Strangely today the higher up you go the warmer it gets.
Oslo is at the northern limit of the range of Bearded Tits and the birds we see her are actually winter visitors coming from breeding sites further south. They seem to cope fine though with temperatures down to -20C and the short days. When all water is frozen then they eat snow.
It remains cold in Oslo and during a trip with the thermal imager last night the temperature dropped to -27C! We were rewarded by a Moose feeding on the roadside. Note how little heat it loses - clearly a species evolved for these conditions.
It’s cold in Oslo today. -19C in the air and just over zero in the water causes spectacular frost fog to form over the fjord which will presumably freeze over soon.
