The oystercatchers are back to Oslo and I spent some time watching and listening to them today! 😍🐦🪶

A quick stroll through the botanical garden before work this morning produced 19 bird species. It really feels like spring is here (very early for Oslo..). Best observations were a surprise Lesser spotted woodpecker and a stock dove! 🪶

Watching waxwings through the office window is known to increase happiness while simultaneously decreasing productivity 🤷‍♂️

The perk of having an office in the middle of Oslo Botanical Garden is that lunch-time walks can always result in some nice bird encounters. I saw this female Goshawk flying into the tree where she stayed for at least an hour afterwards. Upon zooming in on her head, I saw some blood splatter. 🪶
