Øygarden 28-29 October 2018 - Bits and bobs

Not much time spent in the field but a stroll at Sæle on 28 October produced a Treecreeper trekryper along with the more usual Blackcaps munk. There were lots (ie 100's) of Common Redpoll gråsisik heading north everywhere I went with flocks seen over my house at Nautnes, at Sæle, at the shops at Tjeldstø etc.

A Tree Sparrow pilfink turned up in my garden and a Long-tailed Duck havelle put in a freshwater appearance on Husvatnet, Tjeldstø.

On 29 October I spent even less time out but the first Whoopers sangsvane of the autumn turned up on Husvatnet where the Long-tailed Duck havelle remained.
