Set on a hilltop with prime views over the city, this small, easily accessible urban park packs a punch of its own.
Stensparken is an easily accessible city park a stone's throw from Bislett Stadium. Despite its relatively small size and central location, over 60 species have been observed in and around the park to date. Though Stensparken is at its best during spring and autumn migration, it can be a fruitful place to bird at all times of year. It rewards an early start, preferably at the weekend, as the noise and hustle from the surrounding city are not conducive to birding.
Commonly seen birds which may interest visiting birders include Zorzal Real (all year), Picogordo Común (all year), Zorzal Alirrojo (spring and autumn) and Pardillo Norteño (autumn-winter). Gulls—Gaviota argéntea europea and Gaviota Cana)—and corvids—Corneja Cenicienta and Urraca común—dominate the birdlife, while the flock of feral Paloma Bravía that sun themselves on the roof of the church may attract the attentions of Halcón Peregrino and even Azor Común midwinter.
The upper part of Stensparken, called Blåsen, is not built up as a formal part of the park, but is left more unkempt - great for birds! At 81 metres above sea level, Blåsen is one of the highest points in the inner city, and there are fantastic views from here. Very occasionally, some migrants that are not associated with the inner city will turn up here, most notably Alcaudón Dorsirrojo in 2022.
Otherwise, Blåsen provides a vantage point to observe flyovers, and when conditions are right, for following migration. Stensparken is a great place to witness the passage of thousands of Ánsar piquicorto right over the city in early spring, and Ánsar común and Cisne Cantor can also be noted heading north as winter slowly releases its grip. With favourable conditions in the autumn, large flocks of Pinzón Real and Pinzón Vulgar, as well as a steady stream of Bisbita Pratense , can be seen and heard migrating south.
In the peak migration month of May, singing warblers make their presence felt. Mosquitero Musical and Mosquitero Común will move off as the season rolls on, but Curruca Capirotada likely breeds in the park. While spring sees the greatest diversity of species, winter can provide good birding as well, with finches such as Camachuelo Común and, occasionally, Piquitureto Común moving in from the forests to spice up the usual crowd of Verderón Común , Jilguero Europeo and Jilguero Lúgano .
Stensparken is easily accessible from the centre of Oslo on foot or by public transport. Trams and buses stop at Bislett, a local transport hub which is no more than a couple of minutes' walk from the park.
Start at the bottom of the park by Fagerborg Church, and make sure to check the spire closely, especially in wintry weather - if you're lucky, a Halcón Peregrino may be sat there. Follow the paths around the park, looking and listening for finches, thrushes and tits, such as Mirlo Común, Jilguero Europeo and Herrerillo Común.
At the very top of the park, a set of steps will lead you up to the navigation column on Blåsen, where you will have fantastic views over the city. Shyer species can be found in the scrub up here, and you'll be able to spot anything flying over with ease. In the autumn, look out for roving Zorzal Real flocks that drop down to eat berries, perhaps with Ampelis Europeo in tow.
