Jackdaw kaie at Herdlevær
Early morning Gannets havsuleBird of the day was without doubt a Water Rail vannrikse seen all the way out at Skogsøy - only the second time I've had this species out there and also the first spring record. This bird was obviously a migrant relocating after spending the winter elsewhere.
Seawatching produced the usual suspects including a half decent movement of Oystercatcher tjeld (680 heading north), three Shelduck gravand, a Red-throated Diver smålom and small numbers of Common Gull fiskemåke and Black-headed Gull hettemåke. The only real southbound movement was 120 Shags toppskarv- no doubt birds returning to Rogaland to breed.
A "drive-by" at Herdlevær produced a Jackdaw kaie feeding among the sheep there - not a common species in Øygarden at all and the first record this year.
