Herdla and Øygarden 30-31 July 2022 - Guiding and some late summer migrants

 On 30 July, a day of guiding, I went off the reservation for the morning but returned in the afternoon.

At least 46 species noted with a reasonable selection of waders and other species at Herdla along with an Otter feeding on the shore - not something I see much of at this locality. 

A couple of unseasonal Tufted Duck toppand and two Peregrines vandrefalk at Husvatnet, Tjeldstø were the best of the sightings.

On 31 July I stayed local as usual. Dunnocks jernspurv suddenly quite obvious, various waders seen including a Green Sandpiper skogsnipe flying over at Herdlevær where there was also a Swift tårnseiler, several Common Sandipiper strandsnipe and a Whimbrel småspove
