Hernar 13 October 2022 - New Hernar ticks

An all too infrequent visit to Hernar produced two island ticks today in the form of a Treecreeper trekryper and Parrot Crossbills furukorsnebb.

Otherwise a pretty much normal autumn day with 50 species noted including the first Grey Wagtail vintererle and Goldfinch stillits of year for the island.

Other migrants included four Chiff-chaff gransanger, two of which looked rather like tristis to me (and I heard the "chicken" call from one of them), a few Blackcap munk, Snow Bunting snøspurv, Water Rail vannriskse and late Oystercatcher tjeld and Swallow låvesvale.

Plenty of Robin rødstrupe on the move
