After being away there was never a choice about where I was going today. A half day on Hernar proved quite successful despite not much in the way of migrant passerines.
Three Yellow-browed Warbler gulbrynsanger were the highlight. Other migrants included a Water Rail vannrikse, three Great-spotted Woodpecker flaggpett, a Grey Plover tundralo and several small flocks of Swallow låvesvale.
Plenty of birds about with the usual Twite bergirisk, most of the usual thrushes (except Fieldfare), Reed Bunting sivspurv, good numbers of Robin rødstrupe and Wren gjerdesmett.
A Great Northern Diver islom on the sea from the boat on the way home was a nice bonus.
Others saw a Hen Harrier myrhauk and a couple of Snow Bunting snøspurv migrating past.
