Description
In summer, Frognerparken is a good spot for the resident, urban species, like Codobatură albă , Cinteză , Sticlete and Mierlă. In addition, the ponds will hold various ducks and maybe also Găinușă de baltă, Fluierar de munte and Codobatură de munte. Lebădă de vară breeds here.
In winter, the ponds usually have open water, which is good for wintering ducks. Rață mare are of course abundant, while Rață sunătoare and Rață moțată are usual guests. Rață mică and Rață fluierătoare also regularly winter here. Always check for rarer species, especially in late fall and early spring. Stârc cenușiu is also a common sight. Gulls also frequent the park during the winter months, due to people feeding the ducks. Wintering Pescăruș râzător and Pescăruș sur can be found, as well as rarer species. Both Pescăruș de ghețuri and Pescăruș cu aripi albe have been reported from the park, and one Pescăruș sur mare was found here in the spring of 2001.
Follow Frognerelva south west to Skøyen and look for Pescărel negru during winter.
