It was still very windy
first thing after a really wild night but the wind eased down pretty rapidly to
become pleasant by mid-morning; the sea was surprisingly average with a 1st
winter Little Gull heading north the
highlight along with 150 Common Scoter, 10 Kittiwakes, 3 Great-northern Divers,
90+ Gannets and a few Auks.
The bushes were quiet but presumably the same 3 Woodlarks flew over the lighthouse at
lunchtime somewhat bizarrely in the company of 2 Crossbills; there was then
little change around the coast with a Purple Sandpiper, a Lapland Bunting and a
Slavonian Grebe in Verevågen along with noticeable increases in Meadow Pipits,
Rock Pipits and Starlings.
There was little else but the Three-toed Woodpecker was still in Lebeltet along with a handful of
Chaffinches, Bramblings, Siskins and Redpolls while a single Wheatear was still
in Vågsvollvika.

Still some Wheatears hanging on
