Two Citrine Wagtails on Herdla!!

 Only one afternoon at Herdla produced two Citrine Wagtails. Initially, Terje Hansen and Walter Lemme found a first-year bird at the golf course near the church. I twitched that one with Stein Rune Risa, although we only heard it. At the reserve, we joined other birders, and we had some nice, entertaining birding. There were four Northern Shovelers present, as well as good numbers of waders. Alongside the usual suspects, two Little Stints, two Black-tailed Godwits and 35(!) Grey Polvers are worth mentioning. A short walk at the 'bekkasinmyr' produced 5 Jack Snipes!

Meanwhile, Kjetil Salomonsen had found the Citrine Wagtail back at the manure storage (møkkakummen). Checking there, we soon discovered that two birds were involved. Cool😎!! Below are some pictures and sound recordings.

On the way back, we tried a Yellow-browed Warbler that was reported at Bønes in Bergen. That bird was still present.
