1st June


Nice and sunny but a blazing force 7 westerly wind made things very difficult, birds on the sea first thing included another Pomarine Skua, the first Little Stint of the year which flew north with a group of Dunlin, 4 Bonxies, a Tystie and 400 Pale-bellied Brent Geese.   There was little else through the day with Red-backed Shrike, Wryneck and Cuckoo in the area with the first Starling fledglings making themselves noisily obvious, the 7 Wigeon and single Barnacle Goose on Vågsvollvåien with a big build-up of Gulls and a Sanderling in Vågsvollvika.
 

This Cuckoo posed amazingly well!

Brilliantly bright alpina Dunlin
