Calm, sunny and freezing again.
Still struggling to get out and about but had a very productive hour at Tjeldstø in the afternoon. Highlight was without doubt a Treecreeper trekryper. First for Øygarden this year and the first I've seen here since 2010! This species is very much an irruptive autumn migrant and is very rare in winter.
Other good sightings included a second year Goshawk hønsehauk, a Woodcock rugde, a Snipe enkeltbekkasin and a couple of Little Auk alkekonge.
A short stroll at Sture produced a small flock of Parrot Crossbill furukorsnebb.
The first Treecreeper trekryper of 2013 - a rare winter sighting in Øygarden
