Yesterday I drove with my family to Jæren to improve our chances of seeing the solar eclipse. In Bergen there are clouds most of the time. So it was a nice surprise that a Tibetan Sand Plover was discovered the afternoon before on Nærstranda at Jæren. It was still present and proved to be an easy twitch.
Later on, we decided to try for the eclipse at Karmøy, because the forecast predicted a cloudless evening there. There the Lesser Grey Shrike was still present. That was easy as well, although it showed less well than the plover. We saw it just before the eclipse, which was nice to witness...
