Although it is not exactly a secret that I am not a fan of birding in the parks of Oslo they are a good and easy way of getting up close and personal with a number of species.
Priority today was buying beer but I managed half an hour in the Botanical Garden at Tøyen. The park contains a wide variety of berry and seed bearing trees and is currently full of birds - many of which are relatively tame and easy to get close to.
Hawfinch kjernebiter
Waxwing sidensvans
Even though I was armed with just a simple point and pray superzoom it was straightforward to take pictures of some of the park's inhabitants.
Birds from my point of view were at least seven Hawfinch
kjernebiter and the same number of Waxwing
sidensvans.
