Strong westerly winds and very dull
Much better conditions than yesterday but virtually dark......
At Herdlevær I stumbled over a pipit that gave me a definite "vibe". Based on general colouration and location my initial thought was a late Meadow Pipit but when I looked in the binoculars it was obviously not this. The lack of tail didn't help the aberrant jizz. But pale lores, very white outer tail feathers (such as they are), dark tertials and "clean" underparts all point to something rather interesting......
Some other sightings of interest at Herdlevær included a Woodcock rugde and a Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt.

Pale lores here...
Cleaner, pale, non-smudgy undersides....

Mistle Thrush duetrost at Tjeldstø
At Tjeldstø there was a nice selection of thrushes including yesterday's Mistle Thrush duetrost which showed pretty well. Took some record shots by using ISO 1250 and underexposing a couple of stops.
A couple of Sparrowhawks spurvehauk and a Greylag grågås also seen here.
