Same again with a brisk,
cold easterly and overcast skies; there were a handful of new Blackbirds in the
few nets I could open while on the sea an adult White-billed Diver went south along with single Black Guillemot and
Great-northern Diver and slightly improved numbers of Red-throated Divers and
Kittiwakes (there have been really low numbers of 1st winter
Kittiwakes indicating a poor breeding season).
Birds round the coast then included 6 Snow Buntings
on Skarvodden with another couple over to the NW, a female Goshawk which came in low over the sea (as did several Redwings and
Fieldfares), 2 Wheatears, 2 Short-eared Owls on Steinodden and a big, slightly
interesting looking 1st winter female Peregrine which soon disappeared. Rain then moved in mid-afternoon putting an
end to anything else!
Fieldfare and Redwing in amongst this morning's Blackbirds
I watched this Fieldfare come in across the sea
