No birding recently but a flock of 34 Brent geese ringgås and three Velvet Scoter sjøorre heading south down Hjeltefjord indicated that things were on the move.
And indeed they were - a report of a Great Shearwater storlire from Svellingen had me out the door in no time. Hardly surprisingly no more passed during the half hour I managed in the field, but a Great Skua storjo, another 32 Brent Geese ringgås and a couple of Red-throated Diver smålom were worth the drive. Other species reported at Svellingen earlier in the day included a few Great Northern Diver islom and an Arctic Skua tyvjo.
