OSLO BIRDER: Too much rain
http://oslobirder.blogspot.com/2015/08/too-much-rain.html
The sightings and occasional thoughts of an English birder in Oslo. BIRD GUIDING AROUND OSLO. Friday, 7 August 2015. I awoke early and with some slight rain forecast I thought a trip to Årnestangen would be a good idea. When showers are forecast at the moment that usually means either it will be sunny or biblical scale flooding. Today it was the latter which was combined with lightening and I did start to feel exposed and vulnerable standing next to my metal tripod. Male Red-backed Shrike (tornskate).

On checking the nest box this morning i heard at least 2 youngsters but couldn't see them. The nest had been turned upside down again and nesting material was sticking out of the hole. The cat had been there again! A completely ruine...

The sightings and occasional thoughts of an English birder in Oslo. BIRD GUIDING AROUND OSLO. Monday, 10 August 2015. On my birthday I persuaded the girls to join me on a trip into Maridalen and their present to me was that they didn't moan! We had hoped to see the Adders but these were not to be found but we did see a variety of cool looking insects and picked 5 litres of blueberries from a very small area. We saw two groups of this insect on blueberry bushes but I've no idea what it is. Let me guide you.
