In the capital again, this time to include a Stage Dolls concert at the Rockefeller:)
On 3rd February a walk in the woods behind the radium hospital produced a nice Black Woodpecker svartspett busy working away on a tree:)
I was confined to barracks with work for the rest of the week but the morning after the Stage Dolls concert I was out and about for the afternoon picking up Oslo scarcities such as Water Rail vannrikse and Jack Snipe kvartbekkasin. I also picked up my first Yellowhammers gulspurv and Redpoll gråsisik of the year.
On 8th February I visited Gressholmen briefly where a Peregrine vandrefalk and a Red-throated Diver smålom were the highlights. Generally quiet but Common Scoter svartand numbers were well up on my previous visit there with 18 feeding actively among good numbers of Herring Gulls gråmåke. Still a few auks present in Oslofjord too:)
