Faroe Islands 6 - 15 Oct 2006

We were a group of eight birders that made a ten day trip to the Faroe Islands 6/10-15/10 2006. We stayed on the southern island Suduroy, where we managed to see a lot of good birds, such as 1 Arctic Warbler, 2 Olive-backed Pipits, c. 30 Yellow-browed Warblers, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Barred Warbler and more.
We also did some birding on the main island Streymoy on the last day before departure. Here we saw the long-staying Harlequin Duck at Kirkjuböur and a Little Egret near Torshavn.
