After an horrendous night there was a covering of snow at
dawn but by mid-morning it had stopped snowing and the gale force winds had
rapidly dropped off to basically nothing leaving a pleasant, if cold day. Birds around in the morning included the White-tailed Eagle playing with a Raven
and a Peregrine over Steinodden, a male Goshawk
flashing past Vågsvollvika where there was also 11 Curlew, a Grey Wagtail and 2
Pied Wagtails and 2 Great-northern Divers, 5 Red-necked Grebes, a pair of
Goosander and 58 Goldeneye around the coast on very flat seas.
There
were a few birds in Lebeltet in the afternoon including 40+ Blackbirds, 8 Song
Thrushes, a Mistle Thrush and c10 Goldcrests which encouraged me to open a few
nets which produced a smart Black
Redstart amongst a few Blackbirds and Goldcrests.
