On the way to work Wednesday morning, I heard an Icterine Warbler sing in Christieparken. Nice one, so I reported it on Bergen Band. A few people even twitched it. After work, I went to Herdla to try for the Pectoral Sandpiper and other waders. No Pectoral, but it was nice to see five (!) hrota Brent Geese and five or six Eurasian Whimbrels on migration. The flavissima Yellow Wagtail showed itself briefly. Otherwise, it was quiet and cold on Herdla. When I woke at 02:30, I decided to go for the Spotted Crake at Flesland. It was singing irregularly. My sound recording of the bird was bad; listen below. A displaying Woodcock there as well!!
