A lovely, flat calm, sunny
morning (still very cold though with a slight frost) and birds offshore
included another good movement of 170 Red-throated Divers along with a
Black-throated Diver and a few Curlews while the White-billed Diver reappeared on the sea – now looking very smart
in its almost breeding plumage and the adult White-tailed Eagle was sat out on Skarvodden. There was a bit of variety in the nets
through the morning which included 3 Wheatears, a Chiffchaff and 3 Linnets.
Unfortunately the strong, chilly NW wind sprang back
up by lunchtime reducing what was seen around the area, there was however a
little build-up of hirundines on the sheltered side of Lebeltet with 10
Swallows, 4 Sand Martins and 2 House Martins while also seen were 20 Wheatears,
7+ Lesser Redpolls and a Fieldfare in full song.

This [presumably] freshly emerged Adder joined the other one previously mentioned, I'd love to see the males fighting!
Look at the knob on that!
