1st October


Bright and sunny but the cold, strong, force 7 NW wind prevented much being seen; a Hen Harrier flew south well out at sea where a few more Guillemots and Gannets were the only response to the strong winds.   There was little else of note with a Yellow Wagtail at the lighthouse while a little influx of 60 Wigeon on Vågsvollvåien were joined by 3 Dark-bellied Brent Geese.

                A little drive round in the late afternoon produced 4 Slavonian Grebes in Nordhasselvika  and a few different things at Kviljoodden to yesterday including another Slavonian Grebe, a juvenile Black Guillemot and a summer plumaged Great-northern Diver.
