28th August


After two weeks or more of the wind being in the easterly quadrant we had a nice fresh westerly wind for a change but this meant that there were few birds around with an adult Black Tern heading south offshore definitely the highlight while a big female Goshawk caused chaos simply by drifting slowly across Vågsvollvåien putting up a much increased 140+ Hooded Crows and 70+ Jackdaws.

                The coast was quieter again with single Little Stint and Spotted Redshank again the highlights while inland migrant totals included a good 52 Whinchats, 6 Tree Pipits, a Wryneck, 4 Red-backed Shrikes, a few Yellow Wagtails, a Pied Flycatcher and a couple of Crossbills.
