Again breezy at dawn but
unlike yesterday the wind dropped to almost nothing very quickly; single Manx Shearwaters and Bonxies went north
at sea with 2 Ruff and a Wood Sandpiper on Vågsvollvåien and the highlight in
the nets being a smart juvenile Whinchat in amongst a mob of not-so-smart young
Starlings!
The
coast was quieter than yesterday with a lot of the waders having moved on;
birds included 4 Teal, 5 Velvet Scoter south, 7 Common Sandpipers and 5 Green
Sandpipers before rain for most of the afternoon put an end to proceedings.
Peregrine
Velvet Scoters
Just some of the many darvic ringed Gulls in the area; a really high percentage of birds are actually colour ringed giving a reason to scan through the flocks - reading the rings is usually far more interesting than the actual Gulls themselves!
