Rate birdingplace Frognerparken
Description
In summer, Frognerparken is a good spot for the resident, urban species, like Linerle , Bokfink , Stillits and Svarttrost. In addition, the ponds will hold various ducks and maybe also Sivhøne, Strandsnipe and Vintererle. Knoppsvane breeds here.
In winter, the ponds usually have open water, which is good for wintering ducks. Stokkand are of course abundant, while Kvinand and Toppand are usual guests. Krikkand and Brunnakke also regularly winter here. Always check for rarer species, especially in late fall and early spring. Gråhegre is also a common sight. Gulls also frequent the park during the winter months, due to people feeding the ducks. Wintering Hettemåke and Fiskemåke can be found, as well as rarer species. Both Polarmåke and Grønlandsmåke have been reported from the park, and one Ringnebbmåke was found here in the spring of 2001.
Follow Frognerelva south west to Skøyen and look for Fossekall during winter.
