22nd September


Very wet through most of the morning but there was some good passage offshore with a Black-throated Diver with 69 Red-throated Divers, 11 Velvet Scoter, 46 Common Scoter, 29 Brent Geese, 20 Golden Plover, 5 Grey Plover, 55 Dunlin and 2 Common Terns while the Shoveler and 2 Grey Wagtails were mooching around along the shore.

                The highlight in the area was again the EAGLE OWL which I flushed from the corner of Lebeltet where, presumably the same bird, was back in August; migrants were again thin on the ground with 3 Redstarts, a Lesser Whitethroat, 5 Sparrowhawks, 5 Kestrels and a Hen Harrier hunting across Vatnemarka while the first Wood Sandpiper for over two weeks dropped into Vågsvollvåien late afternoon.
