Oslo

I spent a couple of nights in Oslo, the capital of Norway, from Thursday to Saturday. This was mainly a city break instigated by ridiculously cheap flights (£20 return!) but it turned into a semi-birding trip, and I even managed to get a lifer in the shape of Hawk Owl. As a result, I've done a report which can be found here on Cloud Birders. As mentioned in the write up, a big recommendation to Simon Rix for anyone visiting Oslo. Below are a selection of largely rubbish photos I took.
