580 Long-toed Stint
581 Grey-tailed Tattler
582 Red-necked Phalarope
583 Northern Hawk Owl
584 Dusky Warbler
585 Siberian Nuthatch - lifer. First since split from Eurasian Nuthatch.
586 Eyebrowed Thrush
587 Mealy Redpoll
I managed to get a lift for 10km, along the "Road of Bones", and spent the day wandering back to town. Taiga, like tropical forest, can be relatively birdless but when you come to boggy areas with pools it can all change. 11 species of waders, including breeding Blackwits, Long-toed Stintvand returning female Spotted Redshank, 7 species of wildfowl ( breeding Whooper Swan and Stejnegers Scoter being the best ) and Yellow-browed, Arctic, Dusky Warbler and Siberian Rubythroat, all in song, made for a brilliant day.
