Calm and sunny.
Spent a few hours out and about at a few localities in the fantastic weather.
Started a Solberg where the calm conditions made it possible to say that there was virtually nothing on the sea. However, a late Oystercatcher tjeld, several Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt and a Goshawk hønsehauk meant it was far from a waste of time.
Next stop was Alvheim where the sea held even less stuff than at Solberg, An adult Golden Eagle kongeørn and a flock of four Yellowhammer gulspurv flying over meant that this was a most successful stop.
A short walk at Sæle proved really productive given the time of year. Two very vocal Siberian Chiff-chaffs (tristis) gransanger were the best of the bunch. Also seen here were a couple of Grey-headed Woodpecker gråspett, a male Blackcap munk and a late Dunnock jernspurv.

This bird kept rolling its eyes back in its head to keep an eye on me....
Grey-headed Woodpecker gråspett at Sæle
Just about a record shot of one of the Siberian Chiff-chaffs - rather buffy. The call was the real clincher though.
