After two weeks of
tropical hot and sunny conditions back in the UK it was a relief to get some
proper weather with rain and the standard gale force 8 northwesterlies that
happens all too often back here at Lista!
A look at the sea early morning produced single Manx Shearwater and Bonxies along with 212 Common Scoter, 2 Common
Terns and 2 Arctic Terns while around Vågsvollvåien there were 97+ Curlew, 2
Bar-tailed Godwits, 5 Dunlin and an adult female Peregrine.
A walk late morning then produced a Green Sandpiper
on Skarvodden, another Bar-tailed Godwit, a Wigeon and 2 Teal in Sevika, a
Common Sandpiper in Verevågen and 2 Crossbills and a Wryneck carrying food in Lebeltet.
Still plenty of baby Starlings around
Plenty of scruffy looking, moulting Common Scoters as well
This baby Sand Martin almost made the leap of faith but at the last minute he bottled it and managed to scramble back into the burrow!
