Similar conditions to
yesterday apart from the easterly wind had picked up to at least force 6; I
managed to get a couple of nets open which produced 4 Blackcaps and a Redwing
while the sea was unremarkable with small numbers of Red-throated Divers,
Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Little Auks, a few Ducks and a group of 4
Sparrowhawks which came in together, low over the water.
After a couple of hours of rain at lunchtime the
coast was quiet but what was there was good quality with a juvenile Iceland Gull in Verevågen (seen from
Karveneset over by the pier but when I got round there it had disappeared!), a
single Shorelark which flew south
over Sevika, 4 Short-eared Owls out on Steinodden, 3 Snow Buntings on Skarvodden,
3 Greenland Wheatears by the lighthouse, 2 Purple Sandpipers and a Peregrine.
Short-eared Owls doing some good fly-bys
Iceland Gull - only the second I've seen here
