No new reunions this time although I have strengthened my acquaintance with the subjects of my last two posts. The Med Gull has clearly hung around and was seen at Østensjøvannet on Thursday before disappearing again. A family walk around the lake on Sunday revealed it was back but it was gone again on Monday. It was together with Common Gulls and was feeding together with them on football pitches looking for worms rather than the bread eating Black-headeds. There are plenty of places in Oslo that attract Common Gulls searching for worms but that will change once temperatures fall below zero. If the Med Gull decides to stay the winter then it will probably out of necessity become a gluten lover. the picture I had hoped to take last week - 1st winter Med, Common and Black-headed Gulls together Med and Common Gull looking for worms Talking of temperatures below zero the first snow fell on the hills around Oslo at the weekend although it has turned warmer again now. no snow in this photo of a very autumnal Maridalen yesterday I have now found two Pygmy Owls in Maridalen with both still in the forest and there has been a bird in another place so currently three birds is a good start to the winter season. Two more sightings of Great Grey Owls close to Oslo also give me hope for an owl winter. One was hunting from wires along a busy road in farmland which is a sure sign of how bad the rodent situation is in the forests. I had a nocturnal session in Maridalen last night with high hopes for a Tengmalms or two but it disappointed with only a single Tawny and surprisingly no noise at dusk from either of the Pygmys I had seen earlier in the day. Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) No sooner than the photographers filled up the feeders for the winter season and Marsh Tits are back in Maridalen although I am sure they never left and will most likely have bred unnoticed. No Waxwings yet but there are still lots of Rowan berries and plenty of time for both them and Grosbeaks to come.

Today I had my first sighting of a species since March 1st and early/mid October is an expected date for a reunion after which I hope for regular sightings through the winter - but what species? It is a fierce hunter despite its tiny size - it is of course a Pygmy Owl. I have been keeping my eyes open for one perched openly for a few weeks now but this one revealed its presence by calling and then proved a real bugger to find before finally it was just there on a branch half way up a dead spruce and surprisingly well camouflaged. It then gave a very good showing of itself and was perhaps interested in the presence of the Beast but his impatience was a real annoyance to me. my first Pygmy Owl (spurveugle) of the autumn. They are now moving away from their breeding sites deep in the forests for winter feeding grounds often close to the city
