15th July


No change in the conditions with the howling NW wind preventing any nets being opened on the first day of the autumn campaign proper; there wasn’t too much of interest on the sea either with 150 Common Scoters, a Tufted Duck and 6 Dunlin of note.   Round the coast there were 5 Green Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper and a big female Peregrine chasing Starlings.

                The Red-backed Shrikes and Wrynecks were still active in Lebeltet along with 2 Spotted Flycatchers and a Lesser Whitethroat while out in the fields the pair of Blue-headed Wagtails were still collecting food and a nice male Grey-headed Wagtail in Gunnarsmyra was probably a returning migrant.   A look in Vågsvollvika late afternoon then produced an adult Little Stint, a Dunlin and a Bar-tailed Godwit.
