Returning to Oslo from Svalbard was a bit of a climatic and culture shock, exchanging a cold arctic wilderness for a hot summer city. Edin had anticipated this and planned a short train trip for us to explore a river running through bush to temper my sudden change in environment. An efficient train ride to Kjels\u00e5s soon had us wandering along the Akerselva after a coffee at the Teknisk Museum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was wonderful choice with a beautiful river alive with birds foraging to feed their spring youngsters. Our first good encounter was with the Goldeneye shown at the head of this post. It was resting in an area of slack water with a single large duckling. I chose to shoot a 2 image stack focussed on each bird to combine into a single image with both sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n

Heading upstream our next encounter was with a Grey wagtail frenetically foraging a faceful of midges. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/a>

In the low light of the shaded riverine forest it was a challenge with extremely high ISO still requiring slow shutter speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/a>

Watching for a while we were able to follow as it flew up to it’s nest concealed on the far bank of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/a>

The nest was at eye level for us and the river narrow enough that we could shoot from the far side without approaching the nest and nestlings.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Changing direction after reaching the source of the river from a lake, we headed downstream to explore further and encountered many more birds. First was a Fieldfare foraging to feed a chick in a nest.<\/p>\n\n\n

Watching the Fieldfare we saw it fly back to the constantly calling chick in a nest.<\/p>\n\n\n

Next we encountered a number of Great tits foraging to feed begging fledglings. Trees were covered with a sheath of silk concealing bird cherry ermine moth caterpillars\/pupae that were a productive foraging target.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/a>

The silk covered trees were intriguing and with the help of Seek by iNaturalist<\/a> we identified Bird-cherry Ermine moths as those likely responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n

There were numerous other birds to watch and photograph and a passing local told us that there were beavers in the area which came out in the evening. A remarkable habitat easily accessible from the centre of Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n
