Rate birdingplace Frognerparken
Description
In summer, Frognerparken is a good spot for the resident, urban species, like Bijela Pastirica , Zeba , Češljugar and Kos. In addition, the ponds will hold various ducks and maybe also Mlakuša, Mala Prutka and Gorska Pastirica. Crvenokljuni Labud breeds here.
In winter, the ponds usually have open water, which is good for wintering ducks. Divlja Patka are of course abundant, while Patka Batoglavica and Krunata Patka are usual guests. Kržulja and Zviždara also regularly winter here. Always check for rarer species, especially in late fall and early spring. Siva Čaplja is also a common sight. Gulls also frequent the park during the winter months, due to people feeding the ducks. Wintering Riječni Galeb and Burni Galeb can be found, as well as rarer species. Both Glaucous Gull and Iceland Gull have been reported from the park, and one Delaverski galeb was found here in the spring of 2001.
Follow Frognerelva south west to Skøyen and look for Vodenkos during winter.
