First Herdla, then night birding in Nord Hordaland

 Tuesday was the best day to try for night birds in Nord Hordaland. But before that we (Stein Rune og me) visited Herdla in the afternoon for an hour and a half. It is finally becoming better with waders this spring. We saw three Temminck's Sandpipers, 30 Dunlins and a Ruff (which is a good one in spring).

At night in Nord Hordaland, it was good with the Spotted Crake still present, a Black-throated Diver calling a bit, and a briefly displaying Black Grouse. A calling female Water Rail at another spot is also worth mentioning. But strangely we heard no Sedge Warblers, maybe it was a bit too cold?
