Migrating Great Black-backed Gull svartbak
Whooper Swan sangsvane at Tjeldstø
Eagle Owl hubroStarted off at Skogsøy but the wet and windy weather wasn't conducive to migration - until I was on my home when it turned out nice and around 50 Oystercatcher tjeld headed north almost immediately....
The seawatch itself produced a fly-by Red-throated Diver smålom and not much else at all other than large gulls heading south (relocating after recent southerly gales or actual migration?)
Other noteworthy birds included a flock of at least 30 Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt and one of the overwintering Curlew storspove.
At Herdlevær a Skylark sanglerke joined thrushes, including a Redwing rødvingetrost. This was probably a migrant bird rather than an overwintering one.
Elsewhere it was obvious that more and more migrants are returning with, among other things, another Lapwing vipe at Kollsnes.
