Blyth's
Reed Warbler is no longer the rarity it once was. It is expanding
westwards and as a result it seems to occur more frequently in Øygarden
than it used to - I have now
found two autumn birds at Herdlevær
and one singing spring record on Hernar.
The first bird I found was EXTREMELY skulking a took a few days to identify with certainty. The second bird was, with some patience, a lot more showy and co-operative. Interestingly both birds were long-stayers and were present for a few days.

Singing bird on Hernar, 16 June 2020
Recorded on my mobile phone. Note that a Chiff-chaff starts singing close to the start of the recording
This bird sang, typically from bushes / low trees and was rather hard to actually see well, let alone photograph
