Herdla late autumn

Had the opportunity today to do a quick round at Herdla with Robin and Hickman, but  it was just boring with only two Goldfinches and two Whoopers. Better in Sokndal, Rogaland with Black-throated Accentor at a feeder in a garden or the Netherlands with Two-barred Warbler Phylloscopus plumbeitarsus and a Nortern Hawk Owl which in the Netherlands attracts thousands of people...
I am going to feed birds in my garden soon, you never know.

Whoopers are not regular on Herdla

Herdlevær and Turøy

This morning off to Øygarden and guess what...eight White-winged Crossbills hanging around at the northern part of Herdlevær. Three females and five young. Otherwise three Blackcaps, two Tree Sparrows, five Twites and a group of ca ten Mealy Redpolls along with some Robins and a Willow Tit.
At Turøy things were quiet with some Common Crossbills, a Willow Tit and the usual other tits. At both islands still a good deal Greater Spotted Woodpeckers.
