Nature Around Me – Birdlife
Here is an image collection of birds seen ‘round and about over the last year.
Juvenile greylag geese are escorted across a walking path, down to the beach at Hvervenbukta strand in Oslo A young magpie, being watched by its parents, stands in a bit of water and takes a drink in our yard in Oslo A female eider duck and her three ducklings swim away on the Oslo fjord on a windy spring day A duo of mute swans in synchrony on the fjord near Oslo’s water-fronting Bjørvika neighborhood A puffed up European robin on a fence post near a cafe at Hvernbukta strand in Oslo on a cold, winter day A seagull on her nest, which happened to be atop the chimney of the outdoor pizza oven of a hytte we had rented outside of Bergen A mating pair of great crested grebes on the water near Djurgården in Stockholm Our Muscovy duck, Braggadocious, preening A young gull considers a slice of tomato on the cobbles of central Oslo An oystercatcher watches its young deal with a mussel on the seaweed-covered rocks at low tide at the hytte outside Bergen A peep-peeping baby sandpiper was very well-camouflaged in the forested coast near Tvedestrand….….and mama sandpiper was not happy with our presence so we quickly continued on our way A northern gannet bobbed in the wake of a nearby boat near Tvedestrand A wagtail visited the end of a pier at a beach in Oslo I happened to spot this grey heron fishing at midnight, in the twilight, across the water from a rented hytte outside Tvedestrand A cygnet paddles around a wooden pier, dawdling away from its family, outside Tvedestrand A close look at the bristles on the face of a white-naked crane at the conservation zoo Nordens Ark in Sweden A pair of gulls look at the water of the fjord on a cold, winter day at Hvervenbukta strand in Oslo Our muscovy duck grabs some oil from her preen gland A duo of great grey owls seen at Nordens Ark in Sweden That red spot always makes me think of poorly-applied lipstick but is apparently a sign of fitness in gulls A pair of starlings check out a nesting box in Tøyen park in OsloA pair of brown-hooded gulls on the rocks at Hvervenbukta A swan family in the water near Tvedestrand Another look at the baby magpie in our yard A raft of ducks near the shore front a flock of seagulls in the water at Hvervenbukta strand in Oslo on an overcast day
I am an amateur photography enthusiast living in Oslo, Norway.
My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy capturing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street art as well. View all posts by kewtiebird
