Heavy rain and strong southerly winds.
Although the winds were not as strong as yesterday the conditions were much worse with not much in the way of visibility.
I started at Hjelme West but there was not really the visibility to cover the best areas in the scope. Most of the target species were therefore not seen and I had to make do with a male Velvet Scoter sjøorre and a fly-by Curlew storspove.
Tjeldstø produced another local new for the year in the form of Siskin grønnsisik and a few Common Scoter svartand on the sea. The two Mute Swans knoppsvane were still present on Husvatnet.
Other species noted included the first Greenfinch grønnfink I've seen in Øygarden this year (they are rather scarcer than usual this winter), a couple of Redwing rødvingetrost and several White-tailed Eagles havørn.
A few Otters seen at various places including from my terrace.
