Snow Bunting breeds in Bergen. But it is not easy to see it, because it breeds at the top of Gullfjellet and to get there you have to take a long walk in mountainous area. It takes all day, at least for me it does.
Anyhow, on the 11th of June I went with Walter Lemme to see and hear the birds. After three hours of climbing in bad weather we reached the top. In spite of the fog the birds were easy to find, showing themselves nice. And more importantly, they were singing. We saw at least two males and a female.
I did not take my camera and was most eager to record them...I got some nice recordings of the song and (alarm) call...listen below
On the way back we saw a nice male Ring Ouzel. Otherwise, almost no birds up there...
