A couple of hours spent seawatching at Skogsøy early on 13 March under calm and sunny conditions produced more of the usual suspects with 130 Oystercatcher tjeld heading north along with three Curlew storspove along with the usual Gannets havsule, Auks, Kittiwake krykkje etc.
A whole squid on the tideline was an unusual find on the way out - normally it is just the "bone" that gets washed up.
The first visit to Hernar this year produced 29 species. Although nothing remarkable was seen a couple of Song Thrush måltrost may well have been new arrivals (although they could theoretically have overwintered), Snow Bunting snøspurv, Skylark sanglerke and about 70 Starling stær were among the other migrants seen. Otherwise just a couple of White-tailed Eagles havørn, some Rock Pipits skjærpiplerke getting territorial and a couple of small flocks of Long-tailed Duck havelle.
