Hjelme Vest and Sæle 13 November 2020 - A normal late autumn day

 Strong SSE winds, mild and overcast.

Hjelme Vest was pretty much as expected with an adult Great Northern Diver islom on the sea, a few each of Velvet Scoter sjøorre, Common Scoter svartand and Long-tailed Duck havelle, a Purple Sandpiper fjæreplytt and the usual White-tailed Eagles havørn.

The woods here were typically quiet with a flock or two of Common Crossbill grankorsnebb and lots of Wrens gjerdesmett.

A quick look at Sæle produced the usual autumn thrushes and a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker dvergspett. A couple of Nuthatch spettmeis remained from the influx earlier in the autumn.

Goldfinch stillits, at least two White-tailed Eagle havørn and more seen from the terrace.
