Overcast with some spells of very light rain. Things just felt "right" so I was a little surprised to not find much of interest during my usual circuit at Herdlevær, although I did hear a tristis Chiff-chaff sibirgransanger calling repeatedly I did not get to see it very well.
Following this Breivik also failed to produce anything other than the usual Snipe enkeltbekkasin and Meadow Pipits heipiplerke - although it is starting to be a bit late in the year for the latter.
At Hjelme I didn't even bother getting out of the car - too much activity in the best areas to even try.
At Sæle it was a different story and I covered the area quite well resulting in two Firecrests rødstoppfuglekonge as the best of the sightings. Initially picked up at long range I eventually saw them at less than 2 metres - but very active and difficult to photograph resulting in superb documentation of late autumn foliage and not much else most of the time:)
Also present were two probable tristis Chiff-chaff sibirgransanger that kept together but were completely a silent. A normal Chiff-chaff gransanger both looked and sounded right. Two Blackcap munk, 40 Redwing rødvingetrost and 10+ Fieldfare gråtrost were also in the area.
