Anyway here's something I saw this week in my short trip to Oslo - a new bird for me, in the form of a nutcracker!

These hoppy little corvids (crow/magpie relatives) live in cold and high mountain climates and bury nut stashes, digging them up from under the snow with their long heavy beaks during the winter months. They're also very speckledy, and have a very different balance to most of their cousins with a much longer beak and a short tail.
