18th October


With the high pressure still dominating proceedings there was again not a cloud in the sky and hardly a breath of wind but with the settled weather the turnover of birds is slowing down so the nets were pretty quiet through the morning with 3 Treecreepers and 2 Blackcaps the only things of note; the only other birds through the morning were at least 80 Fieldfares over Lebeltet – the first influx of the autumn and a White-tailed Eagle sat out on Skarvodden.

                Despite the lovely, sunny and warm afternoon it was really quiet compared to the previous few days with 2 Black Woodpeckers at Groda, a couple of trumpeting Northern Bullfinches in Lebeltet, 3 Wheatears on Steinodden, a Sparrowhawk and a couple more Blackcaps.
