Another day of guiding with plenty of variety. South easterly winds with a couple of showers which were almost perfectly timed:)
Herdla was the first stop, the wind direction and rain during the night paid off exactly as planned so a Temminck's Stint temminkssnipe, a couple of summer plumaged Turstone steinvender, a flock of Dunlin myrsnipe and a thumbergi Yellow Wagtail såerle were among the almost 40 species seen here - without covering even the usual round.
Dipper fossekall was the next target and showed well at Gullfjell along with Cuckoo gjøk, Raven ravn and a variety of other species.
Heading back to Bergen via the back roads avoided rush hour and produced new species at every stop. Several Whinchat busskvett, Buzzard musvåk, Tree Pipit trepiplerke, Swift tårnseiler and several more species were added to the day list.
