northern Øygarden

 Today I did northern Øygarden. I started at Hjelme and Sele and worked my way down. At Husvatn I met Julian Bell and together we birded a few hours at Rotavannet and Breivik.

Goldfinches and Lesser Whitethroats all over the place with birds almost at every stop. But best birds were two Wood Sandpipers at Rotavatnet, behaving secretly and singing a few times. I managed a short, but bad recording. Hear below. At Husvatn the pair of Gadwalls was still present and Breivik was the place to be if one likes crows. A Rook, a Carrion Crow and two Jackdaws there!
