Calm, some cloud cover early on.
Very hot and with a lot of midges early on. There were a lot of birds early on too, but action died down after a couple of hours.
Collared Dove tyrkerdue
Whitethroat tornsanger, probably a bird hatched on the island
One of only a few Willow Warblers løvsanger present today
Best bird was a Collared Dove tyrkerdue - only the third sighting on Hernar and the first since 2012 when this species was seen twice during the autumn. Migrants were fairly thin on the ground, a Sedge Warbler sivsanger may well have been a bird that bred here, other than that there were small numbers of various waders including my first local Greenshank gluttsnipe of the year.
White-tailed Eagle havørn, Peregrine vandrefalk and Sparrowhawk spurvehauk all put in an appearance.
Other than that the species list of 40 was more or less the usual suspects.
