22nd March


The wind had switched round to the SW but it was still very cold and there was no hint of any spring in the air; the nets were yet again empty but today the sea was very empty as well with an almost summer plumaged Great-northern Diver off Vågsvollvika the only thing of note with a single Pied Wagtail on the beach.   There was a general increase in Gulls in the area with the first two Lesser Black-backed Gulls of the spring along with 140+ Herring Gulls and 30 Great Black-backed Gulls.






Bit of a slow day today!  So here's a drake Eider diving from many different angles!

This Slavonian Grebe in Borhaug Harbour was nearly in breeding plumage


Long-tailed Duck also diving


And this scruffy 1st winter drake Common Scoter
