Nice and calm again in the
morning but the nets were a bit quieter with a House Martin the only slightly
unusual bird; a Bonxie went south offshore along with 250 more Greylag Geese
while around Vågsvollvåien there were 3 Ruff, 2 Wood Sandpipers and a
Greenshank.
There were good numbers of waders around the coast
but a different range of species and in different numbers to yesterday showing
a good turnover of birds; totals today included 33 Bar-tailed Godwits, 2 Curlew
Sandpipers, 42 Dunlin, 2 Sanderling, 19 Common Sandpipers, 11 Greenshank, 6
Wood Sandpipers, 10 Green Sandpipers, 16 Redshank, 2 Golden Plover and single
Knot and Turnstone while 12 Teal and 3 Arctic Terns (including two 1st
summer birds) were also of note. A
Green Woodpecker in Lebeltet Nord and the first Redstart of the autumn at the
Radiomastene were the highlights inland before the wind built up to a blazing
force 8 north-westerly by early afternoon affectively ending the day!
Bar-tailed Godwits and other waders in Sevika
Redshank
Dawn from the kitchen window with some strange effect making the turbines seem much closer and bigger than they normally look!
