A nice day with the wind
back in NW but not too strong; there wasn’t too much around though with the
highlight in the nets being a juvenile Pied Flycatcher (presumably from
somewhere fairly local although not in the recording area) with the only other
bird of note being a juvenile Green Woodpecker which came out to the lighthouse
a couple of times.
Still quiet round the coast with 5 Teal, 6 Green
Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper, a Tufted Duck, 2 Herons and 30+ Swifts of note
while the 8 big Shelduck chicks in Verevågen were taking their first unsteady
flights! There was another brood of
fledgling Red-backed Shrikes out in Lebeltet Nord where the Spotted Flycatcher
fledglings were still going and the Vatnemarka Red-backed Shrike pair were
still present and alarming but I haven’t seen any chicks yet.
