Rate birdingplace Frognerparken
Description
In summer, Frognerparken is a good spot for the resident, urban species, like Hvid Vipstjert , Bogfinke , Stillits and Solsort. In addition, the ponds will hold various ducks and maybe also Rørhøne, Mudderklire and Bjergvipstjert. Knopsvane breeds here.
In winter, the ponds usually have open water, which is good for wintering ducks. Gråand are of course abundant, while Hvinand and Troldand are usual guests. Krikand and Pibeand also regularly winter here. Always check for rarer species, especially in late fall and early spring. Fiskehejre is also a common sight. Gulls also frequent the park during the winter months, due to people feeding the ducks. Wintering Hættemåge and Stormmåge can be found, as well as rarer species. Both Gråmåge and Hvidvinget Måge have been reported from the park, and one Ringnæbbet Måge was found here in the spring of 2001.
Follow Frognerelva south west to Skøyen and look for Vandstær during winter.
