Description
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 Grive litorne (all year), Gros-bec casse-noyaux (all year), Grive mauvis (spring and autumn) and Sizerin flammé (autumn-winter). Gulls—Goéland argenté and Goéland cendré)—and corvids—Corneille mantelée and Pie bavarde—dominate the birdlife, while the flock of feral Pigeon biset that sun themselves on the roof of the church may attract the attentions of Faucon pèlerin and even Autour des palombes 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 Pie-grièche écorcheur 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 Oie à bec court right over the city in early spring, and Oie cendrée and Cygne chanteur can also be noted heading north as winter slowly releases its grip. With favourable conditions in the autumn, large flocks of Pinson du Nord and Pinson des arbres, as well as a steady stream of Pipit farlouse , can be seen and heard migrating south.
In the peak migration month of May, singing warblers make their presence felt. Pouillot fitis and Pouillot véloce will move off as the season rolls on, but Fauvette à tête noire likely breeds in the park. While spring sees the greatest diversity of species, winter can provide good birding as well, with finches such as Bouvreuil pivoine and, occasionally, Bec-croisé des sapins moving in from the forests to spice up the usual crowd of Verdier d'Europe , Chardonneret élégant and Tarin des aulnes .

Accès
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 Faucon pèlerin may be sat there. Follow the paths around the park, looking and listening for finches, thrushes and tits, such as Merle noir, Chardonneret élégant and Mésange bleue.
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 Grive litorne flocks that drop down to eat berries, perhaps with Jaseur boréal in tow.
