Nice, but cold walk around the reserve. It gave a bit of a spring feeling with all the (sometimes displaying) Lapwings, Oystercatchers, the first Ringed Plovers and singing Sky Larks.

This lark was not on my Hordaland list...</p><p>But this winter is a bad one. I have been busy with other things, all too often ill or the weather was too bad. Yesterday, at last, I made the three-and-a-half hour drive from Bergen. I was met by an enthusiastic Terje, who showed me around. After about three quarters of an hour we found them back on one of the acres. The birds were shy and could not easily be approached. After a few attempts to get some images I left them alone...

A stroll at Herdlevær produced the usual suspects with two Yellow-browed Warblers, a Blackcap and Chiffchaff. On the way back I went with Julian Bell, who was also there. At the sjeldenhagen Julian noted a Spotted Flycatcher. We had very short views of the bird. We looked at each other and said that it seemed to have a lot of markings and off it flew...Alerted, but expecting nothing else but a Spotted flycatcher, we tried to find it again. It was flying a lot around and was erratic. Julian, however, took some pictures (me being clumsy with my new camera) on which we saw it was quite darkish and mottled on the underparts with lots of light fringes on many feathers on the back, head and rump. That made us discuss the possibility of a bird that was still extremely juvenile. After we found it back on another spot we both made some photo's. </p><p>I mentioned the possibility of something much rarer (Grey-striped Flycatcher/Dark-sided Flycatcher), but that seemed far out. Julian had to leave, while I checked the photo's on my camera. Something made me uneasy; the eyering was too obvious and the bird seemed too mottled. I needed help and I texted Frode Falkenberg, Eirik Adolfsen and Terje Hansen. Eirik and Terje had been on Hernar together with Jørn Opsal and were present only some 20 minutes after I texted them. The first thing Eirik said was that this was something good AND IT WAS!! After Julian sent one of his pictures, other birders were consulted (my brother Sybrand and Enno Ebels were of great help) and it soon became clear that my suspicions were right; it looked indeed good for <span style="color: red;">Dark-sided Flycatcher </span><i><span style="color: red;">Muscicapa sibirica</span>.</i> Dark-sided Flycatcher would be a new bird for Norway and only the second for the Western Palearctic. Later at home, after checking documentation, consulting literature and speaking with other birders we decided to claim this bird as such!!</p><p>I hope that some better pictures are going to be made, but on the photo's so far all characters do fit this species best and rule out other <i>Muscicapae, </i>such as Grey-straked Flycatcher and Asian Brown Flycatcher. Ou bird is a typical, but rather darkish <i>muscicapa</i> flycatcher with a bold eyering, rather fine bill with only a small yellow base on the lower mandible, strong lateral throat-stripes, mottled flanks, diffusely mottled under tail-coverts and very long primaries. Further lots of whitish fringes along the greater and median coverts, tertials and upper parts, including head and back. That made the bird a first year with a good deal juvenile feathers, which is in fact typical for Dark-sided Flycatcher in October...

My father-in-law had his 80th birthday, so we visited him in a few weeks. No birding, but kept binoculars with me all the time. Most birding in the garden, around the hotel and on tourist spots...</p><p>We stayed one week around Chiang Mai in the north, where my father-in-law lives and one week at Khao Lak on the peninsula. Not the best time of the year; it was wet season and breeding season. We had a good deal rain, mostly short, strong showers.

The goals were some typical Iberian species, such as Lilford's Woodpecker, Iberian Dunnock, Dupont's Lark and Spanish Imperial Eagle. We hired a car at the Madrid airport and had three full days and two half days. Lots of driving, birding from dawn to dusk and very successful.</p><p>We visited the area around Ablitas for larks. Still dark (and cold) we listened to a morning chorus of ca ten <span style="color: red;">Dupont's Larks</span> (we saw only one). In the Pyrenees <span style="color: red;">White-backed Woodpecker </span><i><span style="color: red;">lilfordi</span> </i>was the target. In cold weather and rain (not unlike Bergen during winter) we found a male (already) after two hours. The same bird was still present in the same part of the area the next day. The other target in the Pyrenees was <span style="color: red;">Iberian Dunnock <i>Prunella mabotti</i></span>, a recent split by the CSNA. We saw a pair which behaved secretly, suggesting breeding (also singing, listen below). The next few days were spent around Madrid. El Pardo is a good spot for raptors and vultures. We were there twice and saw lots of Griffons, some four or five Cinereous Vultures and four or five <span style="color: red;">Spanish Imperial Eagles</span>, of which one was calling (listen below).</p><p>At El Escorial the target was Iberian Pied Flycatcher. In bosque de Herreria we saw five singing males. A very easy spot for this taxon with several nesting boxes. Further we visited some other sites around Madrid for Great Bustard, <span style="color: red;">Iberian Green Woodpecker</span>, <span style="color: red;">Iberian Magpie</span> and Southern Grey Shrike (the last one we saw only at a great distance without finding it back)</p><p>Common species during the trip were both Red- and Black Kite, Booted Eagle, Calandra Lark, Serin and White Stork among others.</p><p>Sound recordings best with headphones of course.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

First I had a stroll with Hickman at the biological station (which produced a Black Guillemot). After that I wanted to check kviturspollen for Little Grebes. Just before I arrived there I saw a large, slender raptor flying over the area. I saw without binoculars that it was a kite. I had to park and check the bird. Still in the car I saw through my bins it was a Red Kite, but it was gliding and flying fast with deep wingbeats. I choosed to take pictures while still in the car, before the bird disappeared behind the trees. It all took about 15 seconds I guess, but I had pictures!! Sorry for the quality, but you can see it is a Red Kite😀. I searched a little while afterwards, but it had gone...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0IoYY3GnisVBkcI5Qmap2g7aCwNsY2BlZnC-egSBQdXEtDQ7eZ6zPBrs8o8hxO8i-X-Xk7AxVWZT0kztUUbQPWZMWUW-ytKre9HwP8ppYsS4ZjPWOaq6pPFX9qhvLQ8cu3Qzyyy99yNgwxdzmbVrBHSj0-1JgV_fqJZkTzsWU1kVeBZLoy3ISs4PzIQ/s1500/glenet.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1500" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0IoYY3GnisVBkcI5Qmap2g7aCwNsY2BlZnC-egSBQdXEtDQ7eZ6zPBrs8o8hxO8i-X-Xk7AxVWZT0kztUUbQPWZMWUW-ytKre9HwP8ppYsS4ZjPWOaq6pPFX9qhvLQ8cu3Qzyyy99yNgwxdzmbVrBHSj0-1JgV_fqJZkTzsWU1kVeBZLoy3ISs4PzIQ/w400-h285/glenet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5AuqhHKKpst_agf4jYm5DSNTng4bUHDQ_QZuaKkpx6MZ7tyGIpq9NtWlWZLDGaLXbUaho3mDpqQmiFGupI87eVX-P80aK81vtZzNqHpIWb8rtUcrmrUjaCUggCQzLpehpJidf7EqCVXFOpQGO_Atj0Bz02vLWE3_vNm4hwX7Uvpw9KZS8_3-9w7F0g/s1500/glente1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1107" data-original-width="1500" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5AuqhHKKpst_agf4jYm5DSNTng4bUHDQ_QZuaKkpx6MZ7tyGIpq9NtWlWZLDGaLXbUaho3mDpqQmiFGupI87eVX-P80aK81vtZzNqHpIWb8rtUcrmrUjaCUggCQzLpehpJidf7EqCVXFOpQGO_Atj0Bz02vLWE3_vNm4hwX7Uvpw9KZS8_3-9w7F0g/w400-h295/glente1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtUexwU2vQbMCkbghMGk91TTmRGpay1DDPXocyjr0YyO_PhFDZuKflakwmvpIzpzfaSsyedkQAbFGzdwdshsspX0XvtL65ItbwNC4r1K_riJCdEmO6xVdUldrIZ9_9G0qAsPFsV3EgguRx-vOxChtbIcAhy_U9HupKGxzE0GHrkxDvc1E5SyaCl9cl7Q/s1544/glente2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1105" data-original-width="1544" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtUexwU2vQbMCkbghMGk91TTmRGpay1DDPXocyjr0YyO_PhFDZuKflakwmvpIzpzfaSsyedkQAbFGzdwdshsspX0XvtL65ItbwNC4r1K_riJCdEmO6xVdUldrIZ9_9G0qAsPFsV3EgguRx-vOxChtbIcAhy_U9HupKGxzE0GHrkxDvc1E5SyaCl9cl7Q/w400-h286/glente2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFvPgmEdQod38iICNBUtM7DMDmscfaMizDOJuuj5EOhCrOwZ_bSTuMPBXx4xLIoJC_JS-jDl0LyBWBuWaNIrhV8eB9H5CvMSPp-zAy8MxJA56awoCt5iPNnykezWKUfltp5KqfGj9rXzgmxMBaSjRBaVXXxMruYIQ1g-ovtaR4Q27DzyE3-n6Ivj09Tw/s1500/glente3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1500" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFvPgmEdQod38iICNBUtM7DMDmscfaMizDOJuuj5EOhCrOwZ_bSTuMPBXx4xLIoJC_JS-jDl0LyBWBuWaNIrhV8eB9H5CvMSPp-zAy8MxJA56awoCt5iPNnykezWKUfltp5KqfGj9rXzgmxMBaSjRBaVXXxMruYIQ1g-ovtaR4Q27DzyE3-n6Ivj09Tw/w400-h250/glente3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvj8rf-SjaPqCvIi7K0WljAUY7Biql0DjFJ9R1xdNjrEOmavrFYZoyvCKGrfNwgIwxz9etNZNyVk9w6SjdILXXlRG6DY2vyoSW6sM8OZdCgRuZza0ZZStUolBpwA0G9ARsrHVSLoAPMytppXofeeQOj19bwKxyxUQu5B7tVhnrzpNXUgPQNoiQGmC0RA/s1931/glente4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="1931" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvj8rf-SjaPqCvIi7K0WljAUY7Biql0DjFJ9R1xdNjrEOmavrFYZoyvCKGrfNwgIwxz9etNZNyVk9w6SjdILXXlRG6DY2vyoSW6sM8OZdCgRuZza0ZZStUolBpwA0G9ARsrHVSLoAPMytppXofeeQOj19bwKxyxUQu5B7tVhnrzpNXUgPQNoiQGmC0RA/w400-h261/glente4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Record shots of the Red Kite.

The bird was found by Eirik Adolfsen in the beautiful (rarity) garden in Sele on Øygarden. On Friday it was only seen by three lucky birders (including Eirik). Today (on Saturday) we were with some 40 birders and had to wait until 11:15 before the bird was found back. It had presumably been in the garden all the time. It was very skulky.

Together we had a few hours on the island. Many birds, but we struggled finding a good bird. However, a Lesser Whitethroat showed itself a few times. It had signs of on of the eastern taxa, showing quite pale sandy colours on the back and neck. Besides it had rather a lot of white in the outermost tail feather, an important feature in 1st cy birds (it had pointed tail feathers) and rather short wings. Sadly it didn't call. Lesser Whitethroat taxa are extremely difficult to identify, so I think we let this bird unidentified...</p><p>Further four Waxwings, a flyby Snow Bunting, a few Water Rails, Parrot Crossbills, Goldfinches and load of Wrens and Robins. A group of seven Western Jackdaws is also worth mentioning.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qSND7Uksh6dOwa-zZARWE676P4Ptr6NbgCMn82xaiL2tFVTLzKpRDPQnIxgFXvHMnic9Lss9AOlKUOLV92xvwhhcqqPI86KZ8laWQvIZ5B8azHPh_McbMb4CTWbntZIXZs6PfNFPTAzOuTDJtOdE6i-97MCmrh0vRIopqVkSQ2PZysiRBqvmkG_9-Q/s4000/m%C3%B8llerhernar22ok.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4000" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qSND7Uksh6dOwa-zZARWE676P4Ptr6NbgCMn82xaiL2tFVTLzKpRDPQnIxgFXvHMnic9Lss9AOlKUOLV92xvwhhcqqPI86KZ8laWQvIZ5B8azHPh_McbMb4CTWbntZIXZs6PfNFPTAzOuTDJtOdE6i-97MCmrh0vRIopqVkSQ2PZysiRBqvmkG_9-Q/w400-h308/m%C3%B8llerhernar22ok.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpNZHlFxq9aK1mk_eNAOcVJyqhgiOcsNp6zn_oJuO9t5y69mXx4Aq70zwtWJnSt8tZw49H-WGkW1QOcVmfmzEfsj9lwx9zGZUk0IlYxwvdtT2h0u-yO2lPW74Do1tFs35Q-jOrUbgxRT2iUx9YeCTnDkEnt4MV3Hxdmp8xSG6ZdixdDTAINluJJulJiQ/s4000/m%C3%B8llerhernar201022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2348" data-original-width="4000" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpNZHlFxq9aK1mk_eNAOcVJyqhgiOcsNp6zn_oJuO9t5y69mXx4Aq70zwtWJnSt8tZw49H-WGkW1QOcVmfmzEfsj9lwx9zGZUk0IlYxwvdtT2h0u-yO2lPW74Do1tFs35Q-jOrUbgxRT2iUx9YeCTnDkEnt4MV3Hxdmp8xSG6ZdixdDTAINluJJulJiQ/w400-h235/m%C3%B8llerhernar201022.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixU8wx5eLozk4bocC0KFbvO0liuku8axFd5u5GW6tCcuUwfq0jxlx2jKF1oY6nwuver5hL5Ufu2ysaf-RfXWVpFhoIPifo8C6WlproZudXcW7Tf_QZaL70eYzXDM1-zow67MsMIHEPSN0gdRWqWS1wT8N5xkliU97z8TH8fUPFwow1IpjuIcOCw9Phg/s4000/m%C3%B8llerhernarok22.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3105" data-original-width="4000" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixU8wx5eLozk4bocC0KFbvO0liuku8axFd5u5GW6tCcuUwfq0jxlx2jKF1oY6nwuver5hL5Ufu2ysaf-RfXWVpFhoIPifo8C6WlproZudXcW7Tf_QZaL70eYzXDM1-zow67MsMIHEPSN0gdRWqWS1wT8N5xkliU97z8TH8fUPFwow1IpjuIcOCw9Phg/w400-h310/m%C3%B8llerhernarok22.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">first cy Lesser Whitethroat. one of the Siberian taxa?</span></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>BdBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00067690452819290292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565080104363884864.post-82112553537900784362022-10-18T13:30:00.007+02:002022-10-18T16:45:57.995+02:00tristis and more YBW<p> Yesterday a calling Yellow-browed Warbler in my garden and today one on Turøy. But better was a Siberian Chiffchaff on the island, which was calling good (almost echoing against the stonewall at Måsvatnet). Saw the bird briefly, looking good for <i>tristis</i>. Khaki colours on the upper part, no green visible on the head and upper parts, pallid eyebrow and a thin wing bar along the greater coverts. The feet and bill gave also a very dark impression. But as said, I saw it briefly and it didn't show again, surely afraid of a hunting Sparrowhawk...call is diagnostic, I would say!</p><p>Further flyby Goldfinches, Common Crossbills, Grey-headed Woodpecker and a few Bullfinches...At least one bird in the group of crossbills sounded like a Parrot Crossbill in my ears...</p><p style="text-align: center;">🎤 <a href="https://xeno-canto.org/756709">Siberian Chiffchaff</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">🎤 <a href="https://xeno-canto.org/756710">Siberian Chiffchaff</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">🎤 <a href="https://xeno-canto.org/756720">Parrot Crossbill</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ikPkHUp2BvTsL33Hpv5IcMhsqdNprxBW-OSTtf-LWwERJvlEIWp9gdC_h2s9xR89ZVPkOZTZeOjInXlIaqclsOfkQ1Ode9e_1NIm5K_20PpnlYYSCvuK0ZVMgFSUfrW1DHbmkiVbukJWWuHku01ryVVBODzRqpiJ4xuYrdsnJd2dXTkigjVLhRWjug/s4000/gra%CC%8Aspetttur%C3%B8y181022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2825" data-original-width="4000" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ikPkHUp2BvTsL33Hpv5IcMhsqdNprxBW-OSTtf-LWwERJvlEIWp9gdC_h2s9xR89ZVPkOZTZeOjInXlIaqclsOfkQ1Ode9e_1NIm5K_20PpnlYYSCvuK0ZVMgFSUfrW1DHbmkiVbukJWWuHku01ryVVBODzRqpiJ4xuYrdsnJd2dXTkigjVLhRWjug/w400-h283/gra%CC%8Aspetttur%C3%B8y181022.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">female Grey-headed Woodpecker</span></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>BdBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00067690452819290292noreply@blogger.com0
