31st July


Bright and sunny but the blazing strong north-westerly limited things somewhat; two Bonxies were again lingering offshore while there were 3 Ruff, 3 Wood Sandpipers and a Greenshank on Vågsvollvåien first thing.   Verevågen was the only bit of the coast I looked at through the day where there were 8 Greenshank along with a few Common Sandpipers, Green Sandpipers and Redshank with the only other birds of note being 2 Green Woodpeckers and a Tree Pipit inland.

                Two broods of Red-backed Shrikes were still around along with recent Song Thrush and Lesser Redpoll fledglings.

Red-backed Shrike youngsters are still growing

And this young Hooded Crow was shouting at me for walking under its perch!
