As it turned out Day 3 was not over when I blogged yesterday evening. I decided to go out with the thermal imager at 2130 and didn’t get back until 0030!! First I found feeding Common Snipe, Jack Snipe and Golden Plover. Then I noticed the northern lights above me, then I started hearing nocmig (Redwing, Song Thrush, Snow Bunting and Reed Bunting) and then I joined in Storm Petrel ringing. It was a very succesful session with me seeing what I thought was an impressive 13 birds but the session carried on until 5am with 44 caught including 4 with Norwegian rings from before. I was then buzzing a bit too much and couldn’t sleep until gone 2am and was awake at 7 so am rather tired now. BUT today m, or at least the early morning, has been a good day. When you walk out the door and the first bird that greets you is a clearly newly arrived Yellow-browed then you know the day has potential. New birds were discovered in quick succession with a Little Bunting, an Olive-backed Pipit and then a Red-flanked Bluetail all before breakfast. It felt natural to assume that once we searched more of the island as the day wore on that we would find something big. But in fact there was precious little to see after that. Two Grey-headed Woodpeckers were decent enough but not of the calibre that the morning glory had promised. Red-flanked Bluetail (blåstjert). As can be seen this bird was caught and ringed (in a mist nest). Not quite as cool as finding one in the field but a great chance to see it up close Look at that tail! Olive-backed Pipit (sibirpiplerke) Little Bunting (dvergspurv) A glimpse of one of the six Yellow-browed Warblers (gulbrynsanger) I saw today Arctic Redpoll (polarsisik) Merlin (dvergfalk) Waxwing (sidensvans) Sedge Warbler (sivsanger) breeds on the island but is less than annual for us in September A tristis Siberian Chiffchaff The first Grey-headed Woodpecker (gråspett) hid in a rowan tree Whilst the second was calling from the top of a hill Storm Petrel (havsvale) caught for ringing

Day 3 was also a bit of a disappointment despite decent weather and lots of time in the field. There were precious few signs of new arrivals today although finally seeing Arctic Redpoll which have been around for a while was good. A (the?) Hawk Owl which soared around over a hill top like a Sparrowhawk was a new experience for me and I heard but didn’t see a Yellow-browed Warbler. Three Swallows were new and I failed to see a Barred Warbler which was probably a bird that has been here dor a while. Bird of the day though was yesterdays Richard’s Pipit which was present in exactly the same area today and despite lots of identical habitat all over the island showed no intentions of moving away from a very a small area. This meant it was quite easy to get close to the bird and really enjoy a species that normally behaves very differently. I have taken far too many pictures of the Dick and these are the ones that I quickly chose but there may well be better ones so don’t be surprised if there comes an iadditional Dick Pip Pic post next week. Richard’s Pipit (tartarpiplerke) as you would maybe hope to see one Spot it? Arctic Redpoll (polarsisik) 3 Arctics High flying Hawk Owl This Hooded Crow and its mate followed me around for a while

Today was the day we had all been looking forward to. The strong winds were forecast to stop and we had optimistically interpreted that the weather systems would bring us birds from far further east. Leaving the house at dawn there was indeed no wind (it was completely still) and there were a lot of birds in the air: thrushes, finches and pipits. It was great to experience but were there any scarce or rare birds among them?.As time wore on it became increasingly clear the answer was no. We found no new warblers and there were very few birds on the deck. A very high flying Short-toed Owl was good enough but after that I had to make do with Jack Snipe hunting and of 11 birds I found 3 were of birds on the deck and of course I rather over did the photo taking😊 We all started getting a bit despondent and ended up going back to the area around our house. Luckily Kjell saved the day for everyone with a Richard’s Pipit. This is a species that has p become rare in Norway and this was only the second in the country this year. It was also the most cooperative bird of the species i have ever seen and I managed my first ever non flight photos. It was not particularly large and we used some time to convince ourselves it wasn’t a Blyths but once it called we were happy with it being a Dick’s. Richard’s Pipit (tartarpiplerke) Jack Snipe (kvartbekkasin) Can you find it? A late Whinchat (buskskvett) Otter Sanderling (sandløper) Birding at 7am Dunlin (myrsnipe) Barnacle Geese (hvitkinngås) young Long-tailed Duck (havelle) Short-eared Owl (jordugle) I thought the Otter was going for the duck but the duck wasn’t concerned Parrot Crossbill (furukorsnebb) Kjell showing me where the Whinchat was 😊 Golden Plover (heilo)

So my first full day on Værøy has come to an end and I am a happy man 😊. At 13:28 I heard Yellow-browed Warbler and then at 13:31 I saw one (of eventually 3) so my Værøy trip is already a success and anything else is pure bonus. One of these bonuses turned up before the YbW with a Hawk Owl on a roof top being mobbed by two Hooded Crows - regular readers of this blog will understand that this sighting alone is enough to give me the shakes. Other than these species the big event has been an unprecedented influx of Rough-legged Buzzards with over 40 being seen yesterday before I arrived. I have had to make do with around 10 birds but given that I have only seen two single birds here before then this was quite something. Jack Snipe have also been incredibly numerous and I have seen 10 of over 20 recorded on the island. I eventually took the helicopter out yesterday rather than the ferry because it has been VERY windy and I figured a short but expensive helicopter trip would beat a free but 3 hour long bumpy boat trip. The wind has made birding very difficult today but tomorrow it is forecast to be much less wind so we have high hopes. Yellow-browed Warbler (gulbrynsanger) Hawkie getting fed upnwith Hoodie White-tailed Eagle (havørn) are numerous Snow Bunting (snøspurv) Golden Eagle (kongeørn) Rough-legged Buzzard (fjellvåk) with a rat which is the only rodent on Værøy Arctic Tern (rødnebbterne) Garden Warbler (hagesanger). I had 5 species of Warbler with Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap in addition to the two whose photos grace this post A Dipper (fossekal) my first on Værøy and only the second record here - as rare as White’s Thrush! Real, wild Barnacle Geese (hvitkinngås) on their way from Svalbard to the UK All the Rough-legged Buzzard that I looked closely at were 1cy. They must have had a good breeding season and the strong easterly winds have brought them out here
