Another lovely, sunny, calm morning produced a few birds
in nets including 4 Robins (which were very light indicating newly arrived
migrants) and 3 Goldcrests; there was also some light passage overhead in the
fine conditions as birds moving north included 43 Rock Pipits, a Yellowhammer,
a Goldfinch, 5 Greenfinches, 5 Siskin, a Grey Wagtail, 4 Skylarks and a good
total of 246 Greylag Geese.
Birds
offshore included the White-billed Diver
again close in, 3 Great-northern Divers, 12 Wigeon, 20 Teal, a drake Goosander
south, 40+ Oystercatchers and 2 Curlew.
Unfortunately fog rolled in late morning and the wind (now NW) picked up
through the afternoon which meant the only things I saw were a female Goosander
and another 4 Curlew in Vågsvollvika.
