On 30 October I did not go looking for Pine Grosbeaks and went seawatching instead.
s the weather was "nice" I did not use the hide but sat in the usual place for a little over an hour. 18 Little Auk alkekonge heading north and an adult Great Northern Diver islom were the best of the birds. 11 Kittiwake krykkje and 60 "guillebills" headed south - only several of which were specifically identified - all as Razorbill alke. A flyover Lapland Bunting lappspurv was a bonus sighting here.
On my way home I found a flock of around 20 Waxwing sidensvans feeding on insects from the top of spruce trees.
On 31 October I had a vocal Lesser Spotted Woodpecker dvergspett at Hatten before heading up to Hellesøy where there were lots of birds about. Mostly the usual autumn suspects but a few Chiff-chaff gransanger about - at least one of which was a tristis. A Grey-headed Woodpecker gråspett also gave good views here.
Back home at Nautnes I had to announce that a Goshawk hønsehauk passed to the other participants of a Skype meeting with work.....

tristis Chiff-chaff sibirgransanger - "chicken" called a lot!
