Beautiful and calm again
with 50 new birds in the nets including a smart juvenile Green Woodpecker,
another young juvenile Pied Flycatcher, a Whinchat, a nice and scaly young
Skylark and a little influx of 13 Willow Warblers; I didn’t look at the sea
very much but I didn’t miss anything with c300 Greylag Geese heading south the
only thing of note, there was however a nice wader passage going through Vågsvollvåien
with birds dropping in and heading off all morning which included a few Wood
Sandpipers, Greenshank, Redshank, Curlew, Green Sandpipers, a Ruff and the
first Grey Plover of the autumn.
The wader theme continued as I walked round the coast
as totals included 25 Common Sandpipers, the first Curlew Sandpiper of the autumn, another Grey Plover, 2 Knot, 2
Bar-tailed Godwits, 12 Golden Plover, 6 Greenshank, 7 Green Sandpipers, 2 Ruff
and a Wood Sandpiper along with 15 Teal and the adult male Peregrine.
Inland was a bit quieter with a good spread of
Red-backed Shrikes including two males together at the Radiomastene (not sure
which pairs they belonged to!), 2 Spotted Flycatchers, 2 juvenile Fieldfares
and a nice group of 4 very young fledgling Coal Tits at Vatnemarka.
