Rate birdingplace Frognerparken
Description
In summer, Frognerparken is a good spot for the resident, urban species, like barázdabillegető , Erdei pinty , tengelic and fekete rigó. In addition, the ponds will hold various ducks and maybe also Vízityúk, billegetőcankó and hegyi billegető. Bütykös hattyú breeds here.
In winter, the ponds usually have open water, which is good for wintering ducks. Tőkés réce are of course abundant, while Kerceréce and Kontyos réce are usual guests. Csörgo réce and Fütyülő réce also regularly winter here. Always check for rarer species, especially in late fall and early spring. Szürke gém is also a common sight. Gulls also frequent the park during the winter months, due to people feeding the ducks. Wintering Dankasirály and Viharsirály can be found, as well as rarer species. Both Jeges sirály and Sarki sirály have been reported from the park, and one gyűrűscsőrű sirály was found here in the spring of 2001.
Follow Frognerelva south west to Skøyen and look for Vízirigó during winter.
