Solberg 13 February 2009 - Anything but unlucky!

Fieldfare gråtrost



Friday 13th turned out pretty well - a short trip to Solberg really produced the goods in the form of a cracking male Hen Harrier myrhauk. Very much a rarity in Øygarden - and only the second one I've seen locally. For me this is clearly the best bird in Øygarden thus far this year...

The sea was VERY quiet and other birds of interest thin on the ground. Just a Curlew storspove, six Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt and a couple of White-tailed Eagle havørn.
