Yesterday I got news that the American Golden Plover from July was accepted by the rarity comittee, which means that 2024 resulted in self-found Laughing Gull, AGP, Eurasian Hoopoe, Spotted Crake, YBW and European Stonechat within a radius of 2 km from my appartement. #Sistranda #Frøya

In mid-October a presumed Central Asian Lesser Whitethroat (c.c. halimodendri) appeared at #Sula, #Frøya. An individual showing all the characteristics of this subspecies (vocals, biometrics, outer tail feathers and colorisation). Yesterday the results came back, confirming it as the 3rd for Norway.

The Bruce's Green-Pigeon and the Masked Booby wasn't too bad either. All photos digiscoped with my phone through binoculars/scope.

A fitting tribute to a new beginning on this platform would be a short resumé of the recent trip to Oman. The highlights being a Grey-headed Swamphen crossing the road in the middle of the desert, White-breasted Waterhen, Oriental Honey Buzzard, Grey Hypocolius, Dideric Cuckoo and Yemen Serin ++.
