3rd April


A similar day to yesterday – very sunny but with a cold NW wind (albeit lighter than yesterday); I had a change of routine and had a walk along Nordhasselvika Beach, just east of Lista where birds in the bay included 15 Slavonian Grebes, 2 Red-necked Grebes, 3 Great-northern Divers, 25 Velvet Scoter and 30 Long-tailed Ducks while a few flocks of Common Gulls continued to head north and a White-tailed Eagle and a Merlin cruised around.
                A walk round the area later on was very quiet with a smart male Stonechat (only a scarce migrant here) near the Radiomastene and a few groups of Linnets heading north-west.
