The "best week of the year" is the wettest so far with storm Amy and otherwise very much rain.
I tried Herdlevær with Stein Rune Risa on Sunday. Although it was not raining for a few hours, it was windy and we didn't find good birds after the storm. A migrating Grey Plover was probably the best bird. Further many Blue Tits, a few Treecreepers, nine Common Crossbills, only one Chiffchaff and 20+ Blackbirds, as well as the Taiga Bean Geese still present at Breivik...
On Monday before shopping a quick check at Tveitevannet produced three Hawfinches, the Gadwall still present, at least two lesser Black-backed Gulls and some 75 Starlings.
Hopefully next week is going to be better....
first autumn lesse Black-backed Gull
first autumn Common Gull with has only recently startet mould to first winter plumage. Could it be a northerly breeder?
