a few days extra on Herdlevær

 Both yesterday and today I had free, so I decided to go to Herdlevær. The Red-breasted Flycatcher is still holding strong, albeit difficult. It is mostly staying at the same spot as last years Dark-sidid Flycatcher. I didn't bother about the flycatcher, because it was so difficult. Together with Terje Hansen, I found a Siberian Chiffchaff at the northern part of the island. I managed to record one call...That bird was still present today in the ‘bombehagen’. In the gardens on the western part the Yellow-browed Warbler was still present today (my sixteenth of this autumn)... Otherwise the usual suspect with Common Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps , thrushes and finches and so on.

On Tuesday Julian Bell had found a Richard's Pipit on Breivik. That bird proved to be present yesterday. It was on the fields near Kolsnes, but proved to be shy. Managed to record that one too.

Siberian Chiffchaff. No yellow and greens visible. Note the all black feet and toes, all black bill and the wingbar
