Warm and sunny – the first
really warm feeling day of the spring; the sea was fairly quiet through the
morning with a few Red-throated Divers going north while two Kestrels came in
off and a 1st winter White-tailed
Eagle flew south out at sea. There
was an obvious increase in Wheatear activity round the lighthouse in the fine
weather with many pairs singing and displaying and the males chasing each other
around.
Birds in the afternoon included distant views of a Red Kite soaring over Groda (a
Norwegian tick!), a Ring Ouzel in Lebeltet with 20+ Song Thrushes, at least 32
Wheatears scattered around and a Peregrine which was inches away from nailing a
Golden Plover over Gunnarsmyra.
Lots of Wheatear action this morning
This nearby female was paying them absolutely no attention though!
