more Helgoland

Olive-backed Pipit, Ostklippe

More impression from last weekend, with nice weather, many birds and many birders. I dipped the Dipper and the day after I returned home there were Alpine Swift and Desert Wheatear. I might have a retry for the latter soon:-)

only a few Snow Buntings were seen, probably due to the warm weather

there were still many Northern Wheatears on the island
