Herdlevær 05 October 2019 - Autumn migration

A superb couple of hours out without any real rarities.

Best bird was a nice 1cy Black-throated Diver storlom that flew past heading inland. A couple of Yellow-browed Warbler gulbrynsanger including a somewhat pale one (but with a normal call) and the first Long-tailed Duck havelle of the autumn were also of note.

Generally loads of birds about with 40 Twite bergirisk along with several flocks of Redpoll gråsisik, Brambling bjørkefink etc etc, a decent movement (20+) of Rock Pipit skjærpiplerke, Kestrel tårnfalk, Sparrowhawk spurvehauk, a lateish LBBG sildemåke and the usual flocks of thrushes feeding on the abundant rowan berries.

October mornings as they should be

Goldcrest fuglekonge

Great tit kjøttmeis - a cracking bird I never take pictures of

One of at least 40 Twite bergirisk present

Just about record shot of one of the Yellow-browed Warblers gulbrynsanger
