Oslo is enjoying very settled weather with blue skies and little wind. There are overnight frosts which cause puddles and even a small very sheltered bay on Maridalsvannet to freeze over but by mid afternoon it is quite warm. The Pine Grosbeak invasion has fizzled out but we may see more bird arrive in a week or two based on previous years. I found a single bird at Grefsenkollen on Tuesday but none have been reported in the town on berries. An interesting sighting of a Hawk Owl keeps the hopes alive for an owl winter as does the (re)appearance of. A Great Grey Shrike in Maridalen. The Hawkie was reported on eBird where it is a “sensitive” so I can see no details of when or where it was seen but can see it was in November. Maridalsvannet was as flat as a pancake on Tuesday and revealed a flock of 11 ducks sleeping in the middle of the lake as well as 3 Common Scoter close to the shore. Even in the scope I couldn’t identify all the birds in the flock of 11. Most were clearly Common Scoter but not necessarily all and I needed to get closer. Once I had got closer the flock was awake and turned out to be 10 Common Scoter and a Scaup. The Scaup therefore means I have completed the list of mountain breeding sea ducks this autumn and is a rare bird on Maridalsvannet with it being only my eigth record. It was also the first in Oslo this year. Leaving Maridalen on Wednesday I noticed a large flock of Hooded Crows on a stubble field which just kept getting larger with small groups flying in to join them from the direction of the city. I counted 130 which is a HUGE count and I felt sure there would be something all black amongst them. At first I only found a few Jackdaws but then suddenly there was an adult Rook (kornkråke) - yet another good Oslo bird. Pine Grosbeak (konglebit) at Grefsenkollen on Tuesday a young Scaup (bergand) with 10 Common Scoter (svartand) all of which I think are also young birds. Th bird to the right in the magnified section looked very different to all the others but I am unsure as to whether it is an adult female or a young male that has come much further in its post juvenile moult than the others proof of where they were Great Grey Shrike (varsler) on Tuesday. It had just been bathing and it feathers were in a bit of a mess which is why I think the wing patch looks so large and on Wednesday when the wing patch looks much smaller. We can also just make out the thin white wing bar showing it to be a young bird. I had not noticed this on Tuesday. It is of course possible that they were two different birds but they were in exactly the same tree and the head and bill patterns look the same. This video is from Tuesday: adult Rook (kornkråke) together with Hooded Crows (kråke) going through my photos from Tromsø I noticed that there were two Common Eider of the northern subspecies borealis . Their orange bills really stand out and you can also see one of them has "sails". In addition I think the head and bill has a subtly different profile to the other birds this female Great Spotted Woodpecker (flaggspett) in Maridalen really caught my eye with its browny underparts and forecrown

I am posting this from the airport in Tromsø having just spent a long weekend with Jr. Even though the sun does not officially disappear under the horizon until 27 November the days are already considerably shorter than in Oslo and as it was also very damp and overcast most of the time it never really got very light. It was not particularly cold though and the only snow was on the tops of the highest mountains that can be seen from the city. On Saturday night though there was a short period where there were cloudless patches and we saw the northern lights for about 10 minutes. All the trees had lost their leaves and walking around the city and in the woodlands was a particularly birdless affair. I recorded only 23 species but 4 of were additions to my admittedly rather meagre Troms county list and were all good local birds. The first was a Collared Dove which I twitched in a garden where it has been regularly reported since the end of September. I then heard a Common Crossbill whilst waiting for the bus outside Juniors and most surprisingly had a flock of 16 Long-tailed Tits flying over the cathedral in the city centre. I heard them first and couldn’t work out where the sound was coming from, at first I thought it was being played through a loud speaker by a shop, but then looked up and they were flying over! It was quite a surreal sighting given how few birds I was seeing otherwise. Last new species was a Nutcracker on a walk today which I had hoped to see as this years invasion into NW Europe has produced quite a few sightings up here. On the sea there were farfewer ducks than we saw on our visit in February but a flock of 200 Common Eider in the harbour did contain a single Queen Eider. Prestvannet was not frozen but held far fewer ducks than in the summer (just Mallard and Teal) but a huge number of Herons with a count of 92 being, I am sure, the highest number I have ever seen in one place. A Little Egret had been seen with them last week but was unfortunately not to be seen this weekend. I didn’t get photos of any of the new species but the Queen Eider (praktærfugl) is visible in this video and the photos Spot the Queen Eider?
