Øygården again

 This week I visited Øygården three times, once Herdlevær with Terje Hansen and twice with Eirik Adolfsen. Very nice birding, although the weather was not always that good. Rain on Wednesday and lots of winds on Thursday. But lots of birds about, but no really good birds. On Wednesday we had five Yellow-browed Warblers (4 on Herdlevær and one at Sele). This autumn I have had a total of 14 birds! Further a lot of finches, thrushes (mostly Blackbirds) and Blackcaps on the way. Noteworthy were a Ring  Ouzel at Herdlevær, a late Garden Warbler there as well, a Lesser Spotted and Grey Woodpecker at Sele and a Hawfinch. A short scan over the sea at Sale produced two Great Northern Divers and four Black Guillemots. On wedenes day we had two Otters at Herdlevær, producing a lot of noise...







Note that the Otters uploaded as Robind on Xeno-canto, I couldn't manage otherwise...
