Work took the upper hand yet again.
A short trip to Gressholm on Saturday morning produced rather little other than my first Green Woodpecker grønnspett for the island - mirroring my recent experience back home. There are definite indications that some woodland species, notably Nuthatch spettmeis and Great spotted Woodpecker flaggspett will be irrupting this autumn. Maybe they will be accompanied by some more exciting species....
A big pod of White-sided Dolphins right in the middle of Oslo really stole the show today. Typically I found my camera battery was dead.
The following day several hours spent walking in the woods east of Oslo proved that they are pretty much empty already. A single Common Buzzard musvåk and a vocal Black Woodpecker svartspett were the only species approaching interest level. Other than than a flock of Brambling bjørkefink and not much else at all.
Once again not-birds gave the best sightings - a lizard nordfirfisle showed well as did several species of butterfly including what I think was a Camberwell beauty sørgekåpe
