Today
was rather a disappointment especially as there were things happening south of
us although a similar lack of birds on neighbouring island of Røst suggests
that the favourable winds/weather are lying just a bit too far south.
There
was some arrival of birds with more Yellow-browed Warblers than before with
perhaps 20 on the island of which I saw 6. There were also sightings of
Olive-backed Pipit and Little Bunting.
I
got to enjoy a couple of the Yellow-broweds in nice sunshine but as usual they
are difficult to get good photos of. The Jack Snipe that the others enjoyed
whilst I was cooking yesterday was still present today in a tiny ditch and gave
ridiculously close views. I resorted to using flash due to poor light which has
given the bird a bit of a devilish look.
A
Hawk Owl was the other highlight in addition to my first trip sightings of
Blackcap and Goldcrest which gives an indication of the state of play.
