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

Today was a very nice sunny day since the storm of this weekend. There was not too many wind so we were finally able to open the nets at Kabeltrommen where Sarah, Christina and Simon had a nice session...
I have been searching for Pine Grosbeaks in vain but lots of rain and southerly winds are hopefully just holding them up and the first two were reported in Oslo yesterday so the hope lives on. If they don’t arrive in any numbers then I really think this winter will be the most uneventful I can remember in Oslo. There are no new signs of owls turning up and I cannot even find a Pygmy any more. The Great Grey Shrike and Buzzard also seem to have moved on which is a sure sign of lack of rodents. The southerly winds gave hope of a last chance for some sea gazing and today, finally, I saw some birds that were clearly displaced by the storms further south and west. Three hours at Krokstrand were for once, in recent years, worth it and gave a number of good local birds. A Grey Phalarope topped the list although views could have been better and single Gannet and Fulmar and a few Kittiwakes and Little Gulls made it feel like the old times. There were good numbers of Razorbills but no other auks, not even a Guillemot and certainly no Little Auks which I had hoped to be present. My eBird checklist can be seen here. As I write this a Manx Shearwater has been seen off downtown Oslo and I can hear outside that the winds are stronger than this morning when I was gazing so a longer gaze may have paid dividends. I hardly took a photo in the dark, damp conditions but here is what I managed to document: the view from today's chosen watchpoint which was right next to the car such that I could take shelter if it rained too much a young Kittiwake (krykkje). The building in the background is Filtvet Fyr and is about 3km away and a Little Gull (dvergmåke)
