Winter

 Lots of snow the first days of January, which meant birding in the neighborhood. Bird variety is not high, but a group of about 20 Hawfinches and a Common Moorhen are worth mentioning.

On Sunday a quick round at Biologen, which produced the usual with among others a Sparrowhawk, a few Goldeneyes, three Common Scoters and a tight group of about 80 Wood Pigeons

The second weekend of January had still lots of snow with wildfowl gathering at open water such as Hamretjern. The Whooper Swans there were very vocal. Didn't have my recorder, though...
