Description

The Oslo Botanical Garden (Botanisk hage) is a collection of more than 5500 plants and trees from all over the world. It is part of the Natural History Museum. The wide variety of plants and trees attracts birds all year round. There are a couple of feeding stations in the park which are active throughout the winter, and it's a sure spot to find wintering species that would otherwise migrate. Nice birds that are seen here are Bohemian Waxwing, Nutcracker, Eurasian Goshawk and Hawfinch.
