Another excellent calm start
to the day but the nets were pretty quiet with the obvious highlight being a
smart Wood Warbler in amongst a few
Willow Warblers; most of the morning’s interest was on Vågsvollvåien as there
was a fine selection of waders on there at first light which included a Golden
Plover, 2 Ruff, 5 Bar-tailed Godwits, 4 Curlew, 2 Greenshank, 3 Green
Sandpipers, 5 Wood Sandpipers and 6 Common Sandpipers along with 5 Teal and a
Heron.
The rest of the day was unremarkable with a Green
Woodpecker in Lebeltet along with the usual Red-backed Shrikes, the adult male Marsh Harrier hunting over Seviksmarka
and another little flock of waders which dropped into Vågsvollvåien late
afternoon containing 5 Greenshank, 2 Ruff and a Wood Sandpipers – presumably new
birds as they moved off to the SE pretty quickly.

In the absence of anything else - take a picture of a Red-backed Shrike!
