A small window with light easterlies on the 17th-18th, the wind increasing from SE on the 18th. We started using playback on Yellowhammer and had a decent catch of 40. Playback on Blackbird and Redwing in the morning on the 18th also produced the first decent trush-catch of the autumn. The hightlight cam in a very tiny package, the first Pallas' Leaf Warbler for 18 years.

Pallas' Leaf Warbler seems to become more scarce in Norway. This is the 9th record from Revtangen BO, but the first since 2003. Fuglekongesanger.
