The first all-dayer of the autumn!
Cracking weather and plenty of birds about. The best sighting was a Great Grey Shrike varsler seen briefly in the scope but which could not be located subsequently - although one was reported on the closest point of the mainland half an hour or so after the Hernar bird disappeared.
The supporting cast included a Yellow-browed Warbler gulbrynsanger, a few flocks of Snow Bunting snøspurv, at least two Water Rail vannrikse, 30 Twite bergirisk, Great Northern Diver islom and Peregrine vandrefalk.
A little over 40 species noted which is pretty much a normal day on Hernar.

Male Blackcap munk feeding on windfall apples - a popular food source for a number of species today
One of several busy Goldcrests fuglekonge
Song Thrush måltrost - another species taking advantage of the apples
Wren gjerdesmett - typically very numerous at this time of year with numbers swelled by birds on the move
A little over 40 species noted which is pretty much a normal day on Hernar.
