14th July


A quiet day with the blazing NW wind the dominating feature; a Little Stint flew along the shore with 2 Ringed Plovers first thing while offshore there were 70+ Common Scoter, 5 Tufted Ducks north and a Bonxie.   There was then a Bar-tailed Godwit, a Golden Plover and 2 Common Sandpipers in Vågsvollvika and at least 6 Wrynecks in Lebeltet – most of which were juveniles.
 
The Diver sp. seen over the last few days at Kviljoodden (I saw it on Sunday) has now been confirmed as a 1st summer PACIFIC DIVER after many experts were consulted and is a first for Norway!
 
The drake Eiders are looking nice and black velvety in their eclipse plumage now
