Øygarden 17 September 2009

Relatively quiet although there were signs of the first irruptive migrants of the autumn with a Jay nøtteskrike (first this year in Øygaden!) flying over the road at Nautnes and a Grey-headed Woodpecker gråspett at Herdlevær.

Half an hour at Svellingen produced the first Snow Bunting snøspurv of the autumn, a Great Skua storjo chasing a Raven ravn and a flock of 10 Twite bergirisk.

White-tailed Eagle havørn more obvious today with at two adults at Svellingen and two younger birds further south.
