A very pleasant day with
light winds and the sun making a few appearances; managed 35 new birds in the
nets including another Blackcap and 4 Coal Tits in amongst a little influx of
Blue Tits and Great Tits. I didn’t
really see much on the sea in the short time that I looked but there was a bit
of overhead passage especially when the sun came out properly mid-morning with
400+ Bramblings heading NW along with a few Yellowhammers, Redpolls,
Goldfinches, Siskins and Skylarks; there were also 2 Waxwings, a/the Black
Woodpecker which made a foray out to the lighthouse [again], 2 Peregrines,
a late Curlew which went south, 2 Sparrowhawks and a couple of Grey Wagtails.
There was little change out round the coast in the
afternoon with 2 Wheatears on Skarvodden, 4 Grey Wagtails in Sevika, another
Sparrowhawk which went high south and a Snow Bunting on Karveneset; inland it
was even quieter with a Goshawk and
a Great-spotted Woodpecker in Lebeltet Nord the only things of note.
