Same same with the
weather, cloudless with the merest hint of a breeze meant that the nets were
again pretty quiet with 20 new birds caught; there was a big flock of 170
Fieldfares floating around through the morning, a Northern Bullfinch was heard trumpeting, a Little Auk flew along
the shore and a Great-spotted Woodpecker came out to the lighthouse.
The coast was very pleasant in the tropical
conditions at lunchtime with the female Surf
Scoter still hanging out with the Goldeneye off Fuglejønna, a big female Goshawk unsuccessfully chasing Teal in
Verevågen (actually the first one I’ve seen for a while but judging by the new
piles of Short-eared Owl feathers which keep appearing there has been at least
one around), 2 more Little Auks, a Jack Snipe and a Slavonian Grebe in Sevika
while in Lebeltet there were 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker and presumably the same
Three-toed Woodpecker.
The total of 32 Goldeneye for the whole area was an
increase with 20 in Vågsvollvika noteworthy where there was also a female
Scaup, a decent flock of 27 Twite, a Wheatear and a single remaining Brent
Goose.

The Gyrfalcon's favoured method of hunting seems to be going after birds flying over the sea - this time a Razorbill
