Latest bird news from Øygarden, Hordaland, Norway. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Skogsøy 05 July 2015 - SUrprisingly productive seawatch.

Highlight was a flock of four Sandwich Terns. Autumn migration included 23 Shelduck gravand. A Black Guillemot teist. Still more rai...

Latest bird news from Øygarden, Hordaland, Norway. Thursday, August 06, 2015. Hernar 06 August 2015 - Black Redstart! Winds once again more or less southerly, mostly sunny. Above: first year Black Redstart svartrødstjert. Spent the morning checking out Hernar. The highlight was a most unexpected find in the form of a Black Redstart svartrødstjert. Not only is this a strange time of year for this species but the bird appeared to be a youngster and thus may not have had time to travel very far. Today we te...

Øygarden Birding: August 2015
http://oeygardenbirds.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Latest bird news from Øygarden, Hordaland, Norway. Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Tjeldstø 25 August 2015 - The one that got away? Light easterly winds, overcast with occasional light drizzle. Mixed flock of Ruff brushane. And Golden Plover heilo. Spent an hour in the reserve at Tjeldstø which proved frustratingly productive - a wader slightly bulkier than the Redshank rødstilk. Plodding onwards I picked up the usual selection of waders - including over 30 Golden Plover heilo. And a few Ringed Plover sandlo.
