Calm with scattered cloud cover.
Very pleasant conditions again and yet again plenty of birds about. Highlight today was a Hawfinch kjernebiter. Other decent sightings included a flock of 35 Waxwing sidensvans and a late Oystercatcher tjeld.
Plenty of the usual migrants - hundreds of thrushes feeding in the fields and on the heath, a scattering of Brambling bjørkefink, a few Chiff-chaff gransanger and a couple of Skylark sanglerke.
Back home the Rosefinch rosenfink turned up late in the afternoon in poor light and a dozen more Waxwing sidensvans put in an appearance.

Chiff-chaff gransanger
Goldcrest fuglekonge - still plenty of migrant Goldcrests passing through
The dangers of migration - all that remained of a Redwing rødvingetrost after being taken by a raptor

Male Brambling bjørkefink - ridiculously high ISO values often lead to a watering down of colours
Same bird as above taken using flash - better colours but not quite as sharp
Female Brambling bjørkefink with grub

Some better shots of the Rosefinch rosenfink were obtained today - quite good considering the lack of light
One of a few Tree Sparrows pilfink to get a ring today
A small flock of Waxwing sidensvans dropped into the neighbours garden.
