Nice conditions with more or less clear skies and a light NW breeze.
A couple of hours or so from 05:45 to 08:00 produced the usual early August suspects on the move - Oystercatcher tjeld, Common Gull fiskemåke and Great Skua storjo,
Highlight was a nice adult Bar-tailed Godwit lappspove - the first of the year in Øygarden for me,
Totals were:
Gannet havsule, N33, S63 - very many of these were very close in
Cormorant storskarv S5
Shag toppskarv N7
Greylag grågås S28
Oystercatcher tjeld S219
Bar-tailed Godwit lappspove S1 adult
Common Scoter svartand 1
A Spotted Redshank sotsnipe was reported from Tjeldstø - quite possibly the same tringa wader I saw go down in the same place yesterday evening.
