This weekend my phone has been pinging with messages of rare birds either on Værøy or in Oslo. These would normally be the two places where I would find myself in the middle of September but this weekend has seen my on a cabin trip in the mountains with non-birding mates.
Q: What did I see?
A: Siberian Jay and little else
Q: What did I not see?
A: in Oslo a not particularly strong southerly wind pushed in Manx Shearwater, Arctic Skua and Fulmars all of which are great species on the fjord.
On Værøy they’ve been wading through Yellow-browed Warblers and for spice have had Red-flanked Bluetail, Citrine Wag, Barred Warbler, Turtle Dove and the island’s first Nutcracker. Nothing mega but enough to make most birders very happy.
