7th November


A nice morning with a light NW wind and the sun making several appearances; there were 20 new birds in the nets including a Chiffchaff while on the sea a few bits included 2 Great-northern Divers, 2 Purple Sandpipers, a Curlew, a Black Guillemot and 105 Little Auks.   Other highlights through the morning were a single Shorelark which went south, 2 Peregrines which were trying to catch Little Auks over the sea, the 1st winter White-tailed Eagle past the lighthouse, 14 Crossbills and 3 Bullfinches.

                The coast was similar to yesterday with 6 Snow Buntings still, 2 Wheatears, 2 Slavonian Grebes in Verevågen and a Short-eared Owl while inland there was a Black Woodpecker in Lebeltet Nord and a flock of 14 Twite feeding in a stubble field.
