Purple Sandpipers fjæreplytt at Skogsøy todayStill well below freezing at night, but bright and sunny so no complaints there...
A fantastic days migration with more birds in the first half hour than all day yesterday - over 2700 altogether. Main species was Eurasian Oystercatcher tjeld; new species for the spring today was Common Shelduck gravand. Other highlights included a Great Northern Diver islom; for full details click here. Two Blackbird svartrost flew in off the sea and landed one on each side of me only a couple of metres away - obviously relieved to have made it...
I added some tips on keeping warm during winter seawatching here.
Peregrine, five Meadow Pipit heipiplerke, the Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt flock and two Eurasian Woodcock rugde (new arrivals?) in addition to the migration....
At Tjeldstø spring arrived with a bang today with over 40 Greylags grågås, an Eurasian Curlew storspove, several Northern Lapwing vipe, 50 Starling stær, an Eurasian Woodcock rugde and Woodpigeon ringdue all present.
