18th May


A nice, sunny start with a light but chilly easterly wind; the sea was very quiet, especially compared to yesterday as birds of note included 2 Arctic Skuas, 3 Great-northern Divers and a Bonxie with the pair of Gadwall still on Vågsvollvåien.   The nets were also slow with a few Siskins and Redpolls making up the catch; an immature White-tailed Eagle drifted over the lighthouse mid-morning as did a Common Buzzard while a Cuckoo was singing in Lebeltet.

                An Osprey fishing over Verevågen was the highlight in the afternoon although 7 Whimbrel and 150+ Swallows were its only competition before heavy rain set in mid-afternoon putting an end to anything else!
